Devolver hasn’t but introduced what recreation it will be pitting in opposition to GTA 6. The writer is understood for its irreverent trade stunts, however there might be one thing to the plan if it finds the identical mutually-beneficial hype skilled by Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Everlasting on March 20, 2020.
That shared launch date was notable for the comical distinction—as with motion pictures Barbie and Oppenheimer—so no matter Devolver lands on will probably be a wildly completely different recreation from GTA 6.
Devolver has revealed some spectacular indie video games, together with Cult of the Lamb, Demise’s Door, The Talos Precept, Gris, and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. If anybody can efficiently launch an indie recreation on the identical day as GTA6, it is most likely them.
The thriller upcoming recreation destined for GTA 6’s new Might 26, 2026 launch date might be virtually something. We all know Enter the Gungeon 2 is slated for a 2026 launch, though Hotline Miami 3 is likely to be a extra theme-appropriate candidate (nonetheless, a 3rd installment within the collection has but to be introduced).
The scenario might get particularly spicy if GTA 6 will get delayed once more, permitting Devolver to both launch its recreation on time and brag or delay it unnecessarily to remain true to its phrase.
On the very least, Devolver may get a very good exhibiting from PC players, since GTA 6 probably will not even be on PC on launch day.
