I’m sure by now you’ve heard about the current health crisis of coronavirus. The flu-like virus has been ravaging mainline China and begun to spread through Asia as well as popping up in America and Europe. The World Health Organization has classified it as a global emergency. Because of that, the 2020 Taipei Game Show has been pushed back.

The delay was announced via their official website, which you can read through here. The show is now the second largest organized event in Asia behind the Tokyo Game Show and takes place in the Taiwanese capital. The organizing community decided that due to the serious spread of the virus it was wise to kick the event’s date back to sometime in the summer. Taipei Game Show was originally set to run February 6th to the 9th.

Considering the amount of time, effort and money that goes into these conferences, it’s no joke to have to delay one. It goes to show how serious this outbreak has become, especially in Asia. We’ll keep you updated when more information becomes available.

We’re going to have to wait a while before we get our hands on Cyberpunk 2077 (finally), but now that there’s still some months to go before the game launches, one would assume that CD Projekt RED will take this chance to show us more of the game than they have done up until now. And it seems that will happen sooner than expected.

Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be one of the main attractions at the Taipei Game Show, which kicks off in Taiwan on February 6, but what’s really interesting is that it will be premiering “previously undisclosed content” (via VG247)- but only for select audiences (which is pretty much in line with how CDPR have shown off the game till now). There’s no details on what sort of content will be shown off, how much of it there will be, and how widely it’ll be distributed, but we can look forward to at least some new details on the game next week- stay tuned for those.

Cyberpunk 2077 was recently delayed by five months, and is now due out for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia on September 17. Contrary to recent reports, it doesn’t look like poor optimization on base current-gen consoles had anything to do with that delay.

Meanwhile, it was also recently announced that Polish port specialists QLOC are providing CDPR with support for development and quality assurance- read more on that through here.

Since Elden Ring’s announcement at Microsoft’s E3 presser last year, we’ve heard and seen next to nothing of the game, but there’s a possibility that we might be treated to something new very soon. Sony has confirmed the lineup of games it will be bringing to the Taipei Game Show in Taiwan next month (February 6 – February 9), and among them, FromSoftware’s upcoming open world action RPG is also listed.

While there is a slim possibility that they might show off something new for the game, it’s much likelier that they’ll just be showing a localized version of the game’s teaser trailer from E3 last year. Other games included in their lineup for the show are Final Fantasy 7 Remake, The Last of Us Part 2, Marvel’s Iron Man VR, Nioh 2, Marvel’s Avengers, Cyberpunk 2077, Tales of Arise, Persona 5 Royal, Resident Evil: Resistance, and many more. Check out their full lineup through here.

Though Elden Ring currently has no release date (or even a release window), FromSoftware themselves might have recently let it slip- read more on that through here.

Sony is very keen on pimping out its lineup for this year, which, after a disappointing and underwhelming showing this year, Sony assures us will establish the strength of the PS4 as a gaming platform. It appears they will start early with this too, as apparently, they will be bringing out all the biggest hits hitting their platform for the Taipei Game Show, a growing convention for Japan and Asia which has become a platform for PlayStation to show its stuff in recent years.

If you know anything about me, you already know what I am going to say. Yes, I will bitch about the lack of Persona 5. Then again, Atlus has already assured us that more news on the game is coming out, and soon, so I guess they want to do it on their own schedule.

The full lineup is below. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
