For Honor Year 4 Season 2 Delayed Due To COVID-19

Ubisoft has taken the decision to delay Year 4 Season 2 of For Honor due to the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19. The update has been pushed back and will now release on June 11 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

"First and foremost, we hope that everyone is doing well and is safe at home during these times," the developer said in a statement. "On our side, the team is still hard at work to keep For Honor fully operational even though we are doing so from home.

"We are proud of how quickly everyone on the development team has adapted to the situation," the statement continues. "However, even with all our efforts during these times, the disruption over the past weeks is having an impact on our ability to deliver our near term content updates. For this reason, we have taken the decision to delay the release of Year 4 Season 2 to June 11, 2020."

Despite the disappointment, Ubisoft is planning to bring back some fan-favorite activities to compensate for the delay. These will be available in May, with more details set to be shared in For Honor's upcoming May roadmap.

For Honor is just the latest game to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The launch of The Last of Us Part II was recently delayed indefinitely by Sony, while Marvel's Iron Man VR was hit with a similar delay. Other games, such as Dirt Rally 2.0 and Sniper Elite 4, have been combating the virus with in-game messages about staying at home. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red recently spoke about how the crisis could impact how people buy games.
