GN Version 5.0

Bit of a good news, bad news situation with The Outer Worlds. The game is no longer going to make its March 6th, 2020 release, as complications from the Coronavirus have kept developer Virtuos' offices closed. The good news is that everyone on the team is healthy, and the delay will also lead to a physical release that includes the game on a game card. Check out the full message from publisher Private Division below.

We’re delaying The Outer Worlds on Nintendo Switch due to the coronavirus impacting the Virtuos team working on the port, to provide them enough time to finish development. We’ll now be releasing the physical version on cartridge. Once we have a new launch date, we’ll let you know! To clarify, the team at Virtuos is ok, but their office has remained closed during this time. We're working with the team to determine an updated development timeline, and will share more regarding a new launch date shortly.

Thanks to Jabel47591, MegaJacobF, and WolfStarSonic for the heads up!
