For one thing that felt so apparent, particularly with the shortage of updates from Rockstar, the web is having enjoyable with Grand Theft Auto 6’s newest delay. And whereas that’s all nicely and good (laughing dulls the ache), it’s builders who’re developing with the most effective responses.
First up is Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED. It retweeted its announcement from again in October 2020. “No extra delays are occurring” for the extremely anticipated FPS/RPG, which, naturally, wasn’t the case. It’s all of the extra amusing given how Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is assured about GTA 6’s new launch date.
Then you could have Sean Murray of No Man’s Sky fame, who merely wrote, “Each different writer proper now” with a montage of firefighters speeding by drills. And whereas humorous, it’s completely probably that different corporations shift their main Fall 2026 releases to keep away from GTA 6 as a lot as potential.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Darkish Knight developer TT Video games mentioned, “Seems like Batman must delay his journey to Miami.” After all, you even have Devolver Digital, which is dedicated to releasing a recreation on the identical date as Grand Theft Auto 6 in defiance of different publishers. “You may’t escape us. November 19, 2026, it’s then.”
As for why a delay was introduced up to now out, Zelnick mentioned it was for the sake of promoting, to “give customers as a lot certainty as potential,” and, in case you missed it the primary time, “We really feel fairly good about this date.”
