I don't think so.
What's it like?
Aside from one gameplay video that came out during E3 2018, we haven't seen it in action much. Although I do recall reading an article with the developer where he said they were aiming not to make the game accessible to casual players (I assume through varying difficulty levels) so that everyone can enjoy and get through the main story. I for one am hoping it's not crazy hard to play as I fall more into the casual gamer realm. They've been billing this as a third person action-adventure and not an RPG, which is good for me cause I normally find RPGs much more difficult the the former.

This game really does look gorgeous.
So an action/ adventure game that's tries not to be an RPG. Ummm... so like Mass Effect 2 or 3?
Probably a fair comparison (or maybe Horizon Zero Dawn too), but hoping we find out more in the coming months.

E3 will to be cancelled. Even with Sony and others dropping out this is a major deal in a new console year.

Yeah, saw the E3 news this morning. I'm just hoping there's no delay to the console release dates (or even the eventual 'reveal' dates, whatever those are). I know the release is still pretty far out, but stranger things have happened.

Depends on how long all those Chinese factories are closed.

as far as the reveal goes neither Sony nor Microsoft were going to be there anyway so they can do their own shows easily enough. but the production? Yeah, that's going to be wild. I mean how long can the virus survive on surfaces?

Last of Us Part Two delayed indefinitely because of 2020 things. Seems like there will be many more delays to come.

Well shit. I was just thinking this morning that something I'm really looking forward to was playing this at the end of next month. It's the only game I have preordered.

Apparently the game is mostly done. This delay is mostly due to difficulties related to the printing and shipping of enough copies worldwide.

Imagine if a game about zombies came with a side of coronavirus and killed us all.
Can you imagine!?

Jason Schreier is leaving Kotaku for another outlet to be named later. Wonder what it will be?

A new Paper Mario was announced for July. Only 2 months notice. Kinda strange.

The quick turnaround is surprising but welcome, given the lack of announced first party Switch games for 2020. This art style is terrific.
