The news comes from the event’s official website. Fortunately for those who already purchased tickets, there won’t be any need to deal with repurchases or refunds. The tickets for the event’s original date will still be valid for the new date, whenever it’s decided on.

The official statement reads:

This latest delay should come as no surprise. The coronavirus’ rapid spread has already cancelled or otherwise affected numerous events in the games industry, including E3 2020, this year’s Game Developers Conference, Minecraft Festival, and Call of Duty League.

We did everything that we could to try to run the event as planned, but ultimately, maintaining social distancing is neither feasible at, nor in the spirit of, the interactive and community nature of Rezzed.

It is the community that makes Rezzed so special and it is our duty to make sure that your safety comes first.
