The anime studio Doga Kobo, which is producing the project, confirmed similar news earlier this month.

The studio confirmed it had shut down from April 6 until April 17 to limit the spread of COVID-19 among in-house staff members and to deep clean the office. No employees were allowed in the office during this time. It had also been announced that the anime series, Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, might see delays. However, for now, Technoroid Overmind is the only one facing a delay.
