I don't see how VGC or the virus would affect game news? Nintendo and other game companies are going ahead with their reveals, videogames are one of the few industries actually benefiting from everyone staying home
It's benefitting consumption, not development: most companies are slowing down. I speak from direct experience: I've been home-bound/quarantined twice (currently going through the second one, and it's indefinite) and, despite all efforts, you
cannot work as efficiently. True, you have everything at the palm of your hand, but you cannot solve anything involving your office mate immediately: you always need to drop an email, a skype message, make a call, etc... and I work in business planning, a simple industry to work from home for, I cannot imagine for developers.
There are rising concerns for the holiday release of the new consolles even, because the manufacturing cycle is crippled.
Bungie went out of their way to immediately implement smart working.
Nintendo already said in much advance (at the beginning of February, when the epidemic awareness was far lower) that there could have been problems in manufacturing for the domestic market.
Outer worlds on Switch has been delayed because the team could not work properly as a unit, and that was only a port.
Look, maybe everything will go as smoothly as if nothing was happening, but I would expect that some parts of it (namely product testing, preparations for marketing and directs, coordination with physical sales, etc...) are
somewhat affected, provided that, of course, the DLC was not finished before, let's say, the last week of February (it could be, I'd reckon).
Good news is, we never had a release date to begin with (well, sort of good...), so if it's only a couple of weeks we won't even notice.
EDIT:
Unrelated news: raids have shifted officially.
A bunch of rare mons are appearing (Darumaka, Pincurchin, Version Exclusives). My anecdotal evidence also suggests that HAs are more frequent.
As of last night I already encountered Electric Surge Pincurchin, Psychic Surge Indeedee (2 out of 2), and I just completed an HA Rapidash (I'm on sword). Also, they give unusual rewards, like Sweet Apple and a fossil from Rapidash and 3 out of 4 fossils from Indeedee.
