Imagine trying to schedule the release of a game alongside one of the most over-hyped in history? Can’t instil a great deal of confidence, right?

Ubisoft’s stacked 2020 fourth quarter has already kicked off with Watch Dogs: Legion, and in a few days it’ll be time for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to axe a few questions. Come December Immortals Fenyx Rising will close out the year for the publisher, but as for 2021? You’re going to have to wait a little bit longer if you want to get your hands on games such as Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine. Like, just a few extra…months.

In what’s going to be devastating news to fans and WONDERFUL for game journos dreading November, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again. Again. Again.

Which is rare to say about any loot-based shooter in 2020 but honestly, Outriders looks like a great time if you’re down for another one of those kinds of games.

Which makes sense because it’s definitely going to take time to make a game look that gorgeous.

It’s going to be a while before you see Arkane’s stylish sandbox of cat and mouse assassins.

The end of 2020 is already stacked with a whole bunch of heavyweight games, and as per usual, it looks like there’s going to be a few release date casualties along the way. That first victim of a stacked timeline of games? Vampire: The Masquareade – Bloodlines 2, which is shifting to gears and will now release a little bit later.

Run from it, dread it, Destiny still arrives…usually in September. This year’s Beyond Light expansion? That’ll also be late, as it’s slipping from its original September release date to November 10.
