Soedesco Physical Releases Postponed Due To Coronavirus

Various films, anime, and television shows have been delayed due to the coronavirus. It makes sense that with the “social distancing” in place most production outfits can no longer operate as usual. Well, it’s starting to affect some video game releases as well, even though many companies have announced that they’ve switched over to remote telecommunication and networking. Well, Soedesco is one of the companies that – despite taking precautions against the coronavirus – still suffered delays due to the effects that the virus is having on society’s productivity.

They sent out a press notice indicating that some of their physical releases will be impacted by the quarantine, and this means some of the games that were scheduled for release are no longer going to hit their release dates. This includes the physical release of Monstrum for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as Adam’s Venture: Origins for the Switch.

All planned digital releases will continue to roll out as originally scheduled.

Unfortunately, there are no new release dates set for the physically delayed games.

Hans van Brakel, the executive manager at Soedesco, mentioned in the press release…

“Due to recent developments in the market that are beyond our control, we have made the difficult decision to postpone some of the physical releases to a later date. The global crisis has a big impact on logistics, which makes it difficult for us to manufacture, ship and sell physical games right now. However, the digital releases will continue as planned”

The message rounds out by saying that they hope that the delay won’t be for long, but as soon as they get the word from distributors that everything is a-okay for shipping the physical copies, they’ll inform the community about it.

If you did have plans on picking up the games, you can still settle for a digital purchase, or just sit back, relax, and wait for the physical release.
