Phil Spencer has warned that 2021 will be a year even more complicated for game developers, in an interview he forecasts that the full effect of the COVID-19 will be seen in the industry in 2021. With the fears of the second wave of infections across Europe, Anno Mutationem might be just one of the several games to be delayed in early 2021.
