From the follow-up tweet:

 

[Deusmico]

May is busy as well so makes sense

 

[Remeran]

COVID strikes again.

 

[Lant_War]

Nice, more sales for RE8.

 

[raspberrymousse]

Ugh, I had this preordered too...

 

[Reckheim]

makes sense, seems like there is quite a bit release in May and there about's anyways.

 

[Toriko]

Aint no way I was buying this with RE8 coming out that month and I garner lot of ppl were in the same boat so I would say this is a positive.

 

[Assy Grass]

On one hand, not another delay, this is one of the games I was looking forward to most :(

On the other, at least May got slightly less insane

 

[wars]

And I oop-

 

[Ales34]

I think Tokyo isn't coming this year at all.

 

[Hixx]

Dog dirt, had the rental account going to make sure I would get this.

Oh well, if it's not finished it's not finished.

 

[Noppie]

Like it was said before, expect all games to be delayed until they're actually released.

 

[Jamrock User]

Bodied.

Helluva wait for the next arkhane madness

 

[Karate Kid]

ut oh

 

[CliveLH]

That means even more trailers !

 

[Zebesian-X]

NOOOOO.

Take your time Arkane, I'm so excited for this one

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

That sucks, but more time isn't always a bad thing. May was already stacked too. Oh well.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Bummer, but understandable. Take your time Arkane.

 

[zedox]

Good on MS giving them more time. Makes for a better game and better for the employees.

 

[J-Skee]

Not too upset about this. Already got Returnal & RE8 back to back.

 

[Patitoloco]

Arkane deserves the time, make it great guys!

 

[Stacey]

Damn it.

 

[AshenOne]

COVID-19 doing some real damage. Deathloop Delayed TWICE. So, more of an extended wait for Xbox players also for exclusivity to run out... From Summer to Fall...

I really hope Ghostwire Tokyo is STILL coming this fall...

 

[Volkama]

Goddammit. Was really looking forward to it.

 

[Pancracio17]

Wait so if im waiting for the timed exclusivity deal to run out its now until September 2022 right? Damn

 

[Pulp]

Sucks, but it will be worth it in the end

 

[PeskyToaster]

Understandable. The pandemic is going to massacre any release timeframes.

 

[Chibs]

Aw man, this one stings...

 

[Skatterd]

So...there's no way Bethesda releases Deathloop in September, Ghostwire in October and Starfield in November right?

 

[vixolus]

Understandable as France has been dealing with covid lately worse than some others.

 

[SunshinePuppies]

Solid move to get it away from RE8

All different teams

 

[starblue]

Not surprised at all. And more delays incoming..., it is logical during those pandemic times. Health first.

 

[S1kkZ]

this means every state of play until september will have an overlong deathloop trailer.

 

[TheGhost]

Damn, that's going to push out the inevitable Gamepass release further but safety first is most important.

I rather the devs stay safe!

 

[Lashley]

Damn 😫

 

[Rowsdower]

Dammit. Understandable with the pandemic, but I was looking forward to this.

 

[Metroidvania]

Oof, that is a....sizable (in terms of a 'last minute') delay.

Covid strikes indiscriminately, and the delay is completely understandable, but Schrier was more right than some people originally thought with that post about 2021 being a relative graveyard.

 

[Deleted member 46948]

Understandable with everything that's going on, and I'll much rather see Arkane release a polished game, but damn.
There's really not much to look forward to in the next quarter, is there.

 

[Deleted member 17184]

Mode time for RE8 and MELE to shine.

Take care, folks at Arkane.

 

[Arex]

Delay can be kinda expected from most devs due to COVID tbh. It's more surprising if your release date isn't affected lol.

 

[Spirited]

ouch, that's a late delay. Looking forward to playing it when it does come out but it's sad to see even games I was pretty sure would release getting more COVID delays.

They released 3 games within a few months in 2017. So it happened before.

But Ghostwire will be delayed to 2022, IMO.

 

[BlackheartVinyl]

That one is a major bummer.

 

[Uzzy]

Goddamnitalltohell.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Yep, this will be a very slow year for games as we still feel the ramifications of COVID.

 

[cakely]

Totally understandable and I'm guessing it will sell better with a Fall release.

I can wait.

Different studios and different platforms (counting that Starfield will be exclusive to Xbox/PC), so I don't see a problem with that. We just have to wait and see if those projects (Ghostwire and Starfield) won't get delayed too...

Three completely different studios, I don't see why not (if the other two projects meet their release dates, that is)
