Development Officially Delayed due to COVID-19

[Gemina]

AENet is still releasing scheduled content and hasnt been in the office since March 6.

Darkpaw (formerly Daybreak formerly SOE) is hitting their monthly update schedule from home (their one delay had to do with a different kind of stupid) and is doing developer q&A's on the topic.

SWToR moved their monthly patch back a week due to issues in their Vancouver studios recording voice work, but have their next content patch targeted for the original date in june.

ESO is delayed a week for a similar reason; they couldnt get French translations.

Blizzard hasnt announced any specific delays, but Blizzard never releases anything on the first few dates they give anyway.


The only other major MMO suffering delays right now is Runescape, and JagEx UK handles that for western releases, not Netease NA.

Meh? There's too many unknown factors that determine the productivity any company is able to sustain. Much of what you mentioned pertains to content already released for those particular games and platforms, and by all retrospect, we could add FFXIV patch 5.25 among those as an 'on time delivery'. We don't know exactly how much content is going to be delayed. That is TBD.
