This morning, the organizers decided to postpone the event, but there was no specific date to return it.
A spokesman said: "We are sorry to announce another decision made by the Commission." "The Taipei Game Show 2020 was originally scheduled to be held from February 6 to February 9. However, due to the severe outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan We decided to postpone the event until this summer.
