Sorry to disappoint you but it will never happen.I don't even expect to drop censorship.

tbh it's probably a very low priority. They don't really seem to care about old content

Second patch of The Lost Tapes

There will always be censorship when it comes to CN.HBO Max is in line with TV censorships (example: CEE,of course)

And CN in EMEA is known for that, even on streaming.

HBO Max follows the same rules even worse..reddubing at some point
Like Adventure Time which later aired on TV and replaced the old dub

HBO Max Lands In New Zealand And Vietnam, Expanding Streaming Footprint In Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE, JUNE 16, 2026 – HBO Max launches direct-to-consumer in New Zealand and Vietnam today, completing its rollout in key Southeast Asian and ANZ

press.wbd.com

HBO Max has officially launched in New Zealand and Vietnam (plus Tokelau and the Cook Islands, where I'm pretty sure the same content library and prints as New Zealand is used), expanding the service's reach to two major Asia-Pacific markets.

The content library in New Zealand is fairly similar in a lot of aspects to that of Australia. They even share the same usage of U.S. prints over APAC prints for most Cartoon Network stuff. Also, the New Zealand content rating system is used by HBO Max in New Zealand.

Meanwhile, the content library in Vietnam is more similar to that of most fellow non-Oceanian Asia-Pacific markets (especially ones like Malaysia or Indonesia), complete with the use of many of the same prints as other Southeast Asian markets. While the user interface is indeed translated into Vietnamese, the availability of Vietnamese subtitles seems scarce, and I don't think I was able to find anything actually dubbed or voiced over into Vietnamese either. Also, the Vietnamese content rating system is used by HBO Max in Vietnam.

Furthermore, some titles on the platform (e.g. Creature Commandos, Rick and Morty and The Pitt) seem to use alternate, possibly toned-down prints—intended specifically for the Vietnamese markets—much of the time. Such prints generally do not contain English subtitles at all, and while Vietnamese subtitles are often included, even Vietnamese subtitles are still not truly guaranteed either on such titles.

That said, New Zealand already have much of the pre-2021 WBA-produced content that HBO Max in Australia still has, including seasons 1-7 of Teen Titans Go! (which are also available on the service in Latin America), in which other countries that have the service (such as the US, UK, France, Singapore and Poland) only offer seasons 8 and 9.

Why the WBD official account on X/Twitter are always too late to post official announcements and statement like these in the link?
