This has been made known by his own producer, Naoki Yoshida, to to communicate that we will have to be a little more patient to see this new installment in stores.

As he has well confessed, because of this disease the development of the game had to be delayed for at least half a year, disrupting all the plans that had been established in the beginning. Therefore, this has led to the team members having to go to their homes to continue working from them, causing obstacles with the Tokyo official, as well as delays or cancellations in the deliveries of assets from their external partners.
