5. King RPG Knighthood releases worldwide after 19 months in soft launch
19 months is an undeniably long time to be in soft launch, but against all odds, King and Midoki's RPG Knighthood has finally hit mobile devices across the world.
It's also pretty good too, nabbing itself a Mobile Game of the Week award from us for its fluid, flashy combat and gorgeous art style.
4. Unity Technologies backs out of GDC 2020 due to concerns around coronavirus
GDC 2020 has now been postponed entirely, but it was a long road to get to that point, with many companies pulling out over the last week before the whole event moved dates.
Unity was one such company, stating that "we will no longer have a physical presence with a booth, but will instead showcase the great GDC content we've been working towards online."
3. Update: Apple removes Plague Inc. from China App Store citing illegal content
After seeing a huge boost in players recently, Plague Inc. has now faced the ire of China's Cyberspace Administration and has been pulled from Apple's App Store in the country.

It's been a while since we saw a mainline entry in the Plants vs. Zombies series, but now the third entry appears to be gearing up for a worldwide launch.
Plants vs. Zombies 3 has been soft-launched in Ireland, Romania and the Philippines on both iOS and Android devices. It will roll out to other territories over the coming months.
