Coronavirus has claimed yet another gaming event in 2020, and this time it's one of Japan's biggest indie gaming shows.
It's time for another round of "what's been canceled today due to coronavirus," starring your favorite industry gatherings.
The latest event to have fallen victim to postponement due to coronavirus concerns is BitSummit The 8th Bit, which will no longer be taking place May 9 through May 10 as it was originally scheduled.
BitSummit organizers have been keeping a close eye on the coronavirus situation, but ultimately the decision was made to cancel the original dates due to "growing concerns of the coronavirus outbreak."
