Coronavirus has already delayed<\/a> certain video game releases and updates, and as much as Nintendo is pushing onwards with its own projects, there’s a real chance some of its future releases and planned content may be postponed.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Washington Post recently (thanks for the heads up, GoNintendo<\/a>), Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong> director Aya Kyogoku reiterated how the team in Japan was dealing as best as it could with the current hurdles, and development on post-launch content was still going. In saying this, the team still has to be flexible:<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re not sure if we have to shift anything, but I think we have to be flexible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Producer Hisashi Nogami added how the wellbeing of the team was obviously the top priority right now:<\/p>\n

\n

In terms of the development team, I do have to think about their health and well-being as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The first free update for New Horizons (Version 1.1.0<\/a>) has already been released. It allows players to celebrate Bunny Day with a special event in April.<\/p>\n

Just last week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> director Masahiro Sakurai said there was a “high probability<\/a>” of DLC fighter development not proceeding as scheduled due to COVID-19. He was even scheduled to give a presentation to a publisher, but the key parties were unable to meetup.<\/p>\n
