The Outer Worlds’ Switch port delayed by coronavirus outbreak in China

Take-Two Interactive publishing label Private Division announced today that The Outer Worlds‘ Switch port has been delayed due to the coronavirus. It was supposed to come out on March 6.

That is because Virtuous, the studio handling the port, has its largest office in Shanghai, China. The country is combating the coronavirus, which Private Division notes is impacting development. The illness is also causing production problems for the Switch hardware itself.
