The year began with a number of high-profile game delays, most notably Cyberpunk 2077. The games industry was thrown through a loop by COVID-19. As the year progresses, more delays will hit the industry as developers begin to understand the effects of the Pandemic.
We compiled a list of every game that was delayed. Some of the games are stuck indefinitely, while others have release windows or a final release date. As more game news develops, we will continually update this list.
Final Fantasy 16 never had a release date, but the developer still informs fans that development was delayed by six months. It is not clear when it will launch, but people can expect more information later in the year. The delay was caused by the Pandemic.
The release date is still undecided.
