The growing panic about coronavirus is catching people, and so are many video game publishers and producers. Hidea Kojime Studio is new to a series of studios that have canceled their arrival at some of the upcoming conventions.
The Game Developers Conference is scheduled to take place in San Francisco from May 16 to March 20. at Moscone Center. Kojima Productions have announced they will not be attending this year's edition of GDC due to coronaviruses. Hideo Kojima was scheduled to give a one-hour speech about his game last year - Death Stranding.
"Kojima Productions has made the difficult decision to quit appearing at the Game Developers Conference 2020 because of increased concern about the newly developed virus. Unfortunately, that includes canceling the performances of Hide Kojima (19.3) and Eric Johnson (16.3), ”the official statement said.
Earlier, when canceling numerous other studies, GDC organizers said they would take every precaution to keep the convention. Strict coronavirus laws in the US should help - from safety tips to anyone who gets there to clean latch, elevators, microphones and stuff.
Kojima Productions has thus joined Sony and Facebook who have already canceled their appearances at this year's Game Developers Conference. So far, despite the organizers' belief in safety, no studio has shown a desire to change their minds.
