In a public declaration that has successfully lowered the blood pressure of millions of gamers worldwide, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has officially filed a motion to dismiss any and all internet rumors regarding a Grand Theft Auto VI delay. During a recent earnings call, Zelnick entered into evidence a rock-solid, non-negotiable release date of November 19, 2026. For those keeping track at home, that means your current real-world sentences of waiting in line, refreshing trailers, and replaying GTA V for the 400th time will officially be commuted this winter. The publisher is so confident in this timeline that they are already projecting a massive revenue spike of $8-8.2 billion during the 2027 fiscal year, which would amount to a 20% increase on the prior year, primarily due to the launch of GTA 6. This financial forecast heavily relies on you premeditatedly handing over your entire paycheck for pre-orders.
To ensure proper service of process, Take-Two is prepping a massive summer marketing blitz that is legally obligated to melt the internet. Fans can expect a full-scale pre-order campaign alongside the highly anticipated Trailer 3, which will undoubtedly feature 90 seconds of Vice City footage that gamers will cross-examine frame-by-frame like the Zapruder film. Zelnick even went on the record comparing the cultural gravity of the launch to Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, noting that GTA 6 will make typical summer box office numbers look like petty theft.
So, consider this your official subpoena to clear your calendar for late November. Start drafting your legally questionable "sick leave" notices for your employer now, because come November 19, the only court you’ll be stepping into is the High Court of Gaming while executing a flawless five-star wanted level getaway. Your right to remain hyped has been fully reinstated.
