Baldur's Gate 3 is 'slowed down' by the coronavirus, but still on track for 2020
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has forced game developers of all shapes and sizes to work remotely, and that's had an impact on a number of games and major updates in development. Bethesda had to move the big Fallout 76 Wastelanders update back because working from home slowed down testing (it's out now, though), and Amazon's New World MMO, the Path of Exile 2 beta, and future Rainbow Six Siege updates are among others that are also facing delays.
The impact of workplace social distancing is also being felt at Larian Studios, which is currently working on Baldur's Gate 3. Larian boss Swen Vincke told the New York Times that the game remains on track for an Early Access release this year, but he also acknowledged that work has been slowed considerably.
