Earlier today we reported that the Pokemon GO presentation scheduled to take place at Game Developers Conference this year has been cancelled. Initially, no explanation or reason was given – the presentation was simply listed as “cancelled” on the GDC website.

However, GameInformer has reached out to developer Niantic and received a reply. Here’s the statement from Niantic’s CEO John Hanke, who was going to host the now-cancelled presentation, in full:

“We have decided to forego our GDC talk on Pokémon GO in order to focus on getting the product ready for beta test and launch,” says Niantic CEO John Hanke. “As much as we hate to disappoint those in the industry attending GDC, we feel our time and energy right now are best spent on making sure every aspect of the product is where we want it to be.”

So there you have it. Certainly disappointing, but an understandable reason. Hanke doesn’t mention any development hiccups and stresses that the product is heading for its beta test and launch, so it doesn’t seem like the game is going to be delayed significantly.

That’s set off speculation that Kirby will be featured in some form during today’s presentation – be it a new game or something else. Whether that actually happens remains to be seen.
