The delay is likely related to the current situation in China. Several major cities, including Shanghai, are in very strict coronavirus lockdowns. MiHoYo is headquartered in Shanghai.
The developer recently opened a new branch in Montreal, Canada. Within two years, 100 employees will be employed there to work on a new high-budget open world action adventure game. This game will be a shooting game in a world with supernatural elements.
