World of Warcraft
Such a lag behind the planned deadlines is mainly due to the forced transition to remote work and the large number of sick leave associated with the pandemic around the world.
But the postponement of the Shadowlands release date did not affect the release of the pre-patch, it is scheduled for October 13, 2020. This means that with its release the PvP season will end, the Mythic+ Season will end as well and rewards for them, many items, mounts and activities will no longer be available.
