The first victim of the world being put on pause was the Nintendo Switch port for the swashbuckling, sci-fi narrative adventure The Outer Worlds. Taking PC-worthy graphics and crunching it down to fit the Switch is quite the feat, but the folks at Virtuos were up to the task. Virtuos is the name behind the Switch port of Dark Souls Remastered, so gamers could rest easy knowing The Outer Worlds was in good hands.
No one could anticipate the state of the world in Spring 2020. The coronavirus has affected not only the manufacturing of Switch consoles themselves, but the development of games from studios like Virtuos, which has its largest office in Shanghai. The Outer Worlds port was delayed, missing its March 6 release date. Now, the port is scheduled to release physically and digitally on June 5.
