Wasteland 3 and Minecraft Dungeons delay release date due to coronavirus

A couple of weeks ago, those responsible for Minecraft Dungeons commented on the possibility that the game's scheduled release date for April would be delayed due to the coronavirus, although they would try to meet the expected deadlines. Finally, it was not the step, and Mojang's game is delayed until May. The surprise comes that Wasteland 3 has also been affected and inXile Entertainment has also decided to postpone its May release until the end of summer.

"As with most companies, we moved into a work-from-home environment a few weeks ago, and that, of course, introduced new challenges that many of us around the world have been learning to manage," he comments in a release veteran Brian Fargo, leader of inXile Entertainment. "We were excited to see that the Wasteland 3 Beta was so well received, but the reality is that with these new logistical challenges our launch will be affected."

“We are in a great position with Microsoft and Deep Silver supporting our desire to ensure the game launches in the best possible circumstances, and to add a few additional months to ensure this is a stellar product on day one. With that, Wasteland 3's new release date is August 28, 2020"Says Fargo. It also ensures that this time will help polish and refine the game to deliver an incredible cooperative experience.

Minecraft Dungeons, meanwhile, has shared through their official twitter account a new release date set for May 26, when it will be released for Xbox One, PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, and like Wasteland 3, it will be available on the launch Xbox Game Pass. It is finally delayed one month from its initial departure scheduled for April.

The impact of the health crisis caused by the coronavirus is having a special impact on the video game industry, where events such as E3 2020 have been canceled and the development of many games is being delayed. This time it's up to the Microsoft studios, which were planning to launch Wasteland 3 and Minecraft Dungeons for the first half of the year.
