According to a Sony spokesperson, the emergence of the worldwide Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic will not impact the release of the company’s latest console, the PlayStation 5.

While the release of the console may not be “notably affected”, Sony has been forced to delay its new earnings report as their projected profit increase may have been wiped clean due to the virus pandemic.

Factories producing components for Sony’s hardware have been significantly impacted:

The Japanese company said two factories in China are returning to normal operation but continue to face component shortages, while facilities in Malaysia and U.K. will remain shut until middle of April because of government requests. Sony said it can’t dispatch employees to these locations to discuss assembly of new products.

The Sony PlayStation 5 is expected to release come the end of 2020.
