Originally positioned as one of the big games that would launch alongside next-gen consoles in late 2020, developer People Can Fly quietly pushed it back to February 2. Outriders had a tough time locking down a release date. Here’s a roundup of all the major video game delays that have happened so far. That’s led to a much slimmer release schedule than fans initially expected heading into what was projecting as an exciting year for gaming. Since the very beginning of the year, seemingly no title has been safe from a dreaded delay, as some of the year’s biggest games move further down the line or to next year. The real worry was what the pandemic would mean for games that weren’t quite as far along. While some of 2020’s releases got shuffled around, those games were largely near the end of their development cycle. In our 2021 predictions, we noted that this was a very real possibility due to the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’ve had a sinking feeling that 2021 has been light on games, you’re not wrong: We’re witnessing one of the most delay-heavy years in gaming’s history.
