Some of that is likely far enough along that it will still come out. Game development hasn't stopped. Maybe for Square-Enix, but not for others. Sure, they aren't wrong that motion capturing and scoring games right now could be challenging (but probably not impossible), but I'd be shocked if Horizon Forbidden West didn't still come out at some point in 2021. Obviously the same goes for Ratchet and Clank since that was likely coming out in early 2021.

With how ridiculously stacked next month is, I'd actually be fine if some of 2021 ended up being barren for releases. I'd still expect the first half of the year to have several releases since they should have been far enough along.
