Sony Interactive Entertainment and Facebook last week announced they have cancelled their attendance at GDC 2020 due to the concerns over the coronavirus (CODVID19). Kojima Productions has now announced they will also no longer be attending the conference for the same reasons.
"Kojima Productions has made the difficult decision to cancel our participation at the 2020 Game Developers Conference due to increasing concerns related to novel coronavirus," said the developer in a blog post. "Although much-anticipated, unfortunately this cancellation also includes Hideo Kojima’s session on the 19th and Eric Johnson’s session on the 16th."
GDC 2020 runs from March 16 to 20 in San Francisco, California.
