Officials for the Game Developers Conference have confirmed that the show is cancelled for now. After many major game publishers abandoned plans to attend the show as worries over the spread of the coronavirus mount, GDC has been forced to postpone the show until later in the year. "After close consultation with our partners in the game development industry and community around the world," the organisation behind the event writes on the official site, "we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Game Developers Conference this March." The statement adds that "we fully intend to host a GDC event later in the summer. We will be working with our partners to finalize the details and will share more information about our plans in the coming weeks." GDC was set to take place between March 15 and March 20 in its usual venue of San Francisco, California. Over the past week, a wide range of companies preemptively cancelled their GDC plans, including Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft, Epic, Sony, Unity, Amazon Games, Facebook (and Oculus), Kojima Productions, and EA. Publications like Game Informer and Polygon have also officially announced that they're skipping the show.
