Recently we told you that Sony was going to appear at the PAX East 2020 fair this February 27, where the company would offer a playable demo of The Last of Us Part II, and show us many more news. However, it seems that this will not be possible. Sony has just confirmed that it will no longer be presenting at the fair, this due to concerns with COVID-19, popularly known as Wuhan Coronavirus.
So inform us from PlayStation Blog, where the following update has been published in one of the articles related to PAX East 2020. The author reports that «Today, Sony Interactive Entertaimnent has made the decision to cancel a participation in the PAX East in Boston this year, due to growing concerns related to COVID-19. We felt that this was the safest option according to how the situation changes daily. We are disappointed to cancel our participation in this event, but the health and safety of our global workforce is our most important concern ».
In this way, the Japanese company temporarily says goodbye to the fair, and it is not the first company that is affected by this. The coronavirus could cause a shortage of Nintendo Switch in America and Europe, and could also delay the launch of the Xbox Series X and the PS5.
