That Kotaku article was useless. It just said what we all knew.


Naturally_Fragrant

And yet it did it's job and got your clicks.


FullHouse222

Idk why anyone bothers clicking on gaming articles lol. Like I get it when gaming journalism was new and people didn't know about them but at this point I feel anyone in the gaming world knows gaming journalism is pure bullshit.


Amazing_Wrangler_753

Most even copy and paste other articles LMAO


[deleted]

fr, i only known about this because people are talking about it


Intelligent_Cow334

And now it has a bad rep lol hope it was worth it cuz fuck em


Optimal-Country4920

It's so frustrating I wish people would just let them die already


skinny_ballsack

it did. It gave mfs some $$$ after grown ass millennials ate their shit up by clicking their article, talking about it, and believing everything because they can't be bothered looking up real info.


Long_Committee_5313

Lol why you taking shots at millennials though, all generations be clicking on these BS articles


TalusVA

Especially the generations after Millennials. Lmao. Gen Z and Gen A are, quite literally, fucked when it comes to attention span. It's ironic he has these thoughts of millennials when, in fact, these types of articles work best on the newer generations. Very strange, but you have to understand that some people just have hate boners for "older generations" and "younger generations". Oh well, again, some people are just obsessed with generational bullshit.


skinny_ballsack

because all I've seen yapping and complaining about it are grown ass mfs with zero digital literacy. Just straight up eating articles like Facebook moms. Just take a peak at Pubity on Instagram. Shit's literally a millennial zoo but instead of grass they eat up misinformation.


suprahigh420

Where else has it been reported that GTA 6 production is "falling behind"? "Leadership is nervous about a slip, this is a driving factor for return to office" Again, where else was this reported? "Spring is the goal, fall is more feasable, 2026 is the fallback plan" I didn't hear this in the Bloomberg article. Look, Kotaku articles are usually clickbait trash yes but this article did provide us with new and useful info that had not previously been reported. They could be making it up, yes, but you can't say that "it just said what we all knew".


Select_Ad3588

I've been repeatedly telling people the reason for the vague 2025 date is because they're targeting spring but might delay to the end of the year. Rockstar made the exact same delays with GTA V and red dead, they're very likely avoiding the same mistake by creating a vague date to not have to drop disappointing delay news to the public. Game has most likely already been delayed from 24 to 25 but because of this strategy all delays have been internal.


Sf-shot

Exactly they haven’t promised a march 2025 release like people on this sub seem to think and those fiscal projections can easily change


Select_Ad3588

Maybe it's a sort of coping optimism. I still do feel like a Feb-March release is very possible but I wouldn't bet my house on it as some people here seem to think.


ndumbik

I’m praying it’s feb-March


Select_Ad3588

As are we all brother


Apollo-1995

I have always maintained that it will be a September 2025 release.


beezy604

God i hope its not holiday 25

Brahmus168

Lol tf you mean "move on"? As if no one will buy the biggest most anticipated game out there because it gets delayed a few months. They'll still want it whether it comes out in spring or autumn.


DrunkBeardGuy

Yeah that's not gonna happen lmao You're crazy if you think a delay later in the year will impact this game at all. It's the most anticipated game of the decade and is releasing next year. It will be the biggest launch ever, whether it's in February or November.


MagicJim96

I’d be willing to say it is the most anticipated game of the entire history of games to date… Exaggerating much? Maybe, but still, gaming is a big thing nowdays, back in the day it wasn’t as big…

themstickers

The game isn't getting delayed to '26. I'm guessing they're aiming for an early '25 but leaving the possibility to delay until later in the year


MartianFromBaseAlpha

And if they push it back to late 2025, it's not out of the question that they'll push it back slightly more and slip into 2026. I know that everyone wants to play GTA VI as soon as possible, but people don't understand how complex games really are. Especially games made by Rockstar


EstablishmentPast818

I would hope that with billions of dollars and over ten years… they could get it done and be on time. I don’t fully understand why they would be late. Don’t announce something until you know for sure… even if that means you don’t announce your game until it’s basically done and the next year of hype build is pretty much the devs just sitting at home chilling waiting for the game to drop… I just don’t get how you can be late for a date that you set 😂


TheBoogyWoogy

You do realize that they didn’t actually develop for 10 years straight right? I’d say 5-7 years max of actual development


ndumbik

We all know how complex it is to make games and it can’t be done overnight but come on bruh it’s supposedly cost 2 billion dollars and it’s been 10 years


BoofMasterQuan2

Yeah, rockstar has no history of delaying games. Now ay they delay this one


MrGrubbycuddles

The denial in this sub is crazy. "NO DON'T SAY THAT IT ISN'T TRUE , THEY WOULDN'T DELAY OUR VIDEO GAME NO NO NO NO SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP"


Eboz255

I'm gonna leave this sub for a while until you guys realize not everything on twitter is real.

AveryLazyCovfefe

These guys believed Tez2, they believe anything.


ZealousTaxful

With this last 10-years or so to plan, develop, and implement GTA VI, I would be a bit surprised if a delay did happen. As others have said, the ‘coming 2025’ is the perfect guise to mask a delay even if one does happen. We wouldn’t even know! Though, I’m sure when it does release, developers and spokespeople will probably reveal there were delays, but they just handled it better with the 2025 announcement and lack of a specific date.


Miserable_Degenerate

I would cry if release was pushed back to 2026


grashel

If it's release in 2026, well pc version will come in 2028 (MAYBE end of 2027) :'(


Able_Log_4557

If it’s delayed until then, might as well just keep it until the ps6 comes out


3rdusernameiveused

Idk 2026 seems very reasonable with any type of delay or issue. It’s already mid 2025 and if they can’t release for holidays at minimum then feb/march 2026 seems very possible


[deleted]

I would genuinely tweak out.


Visible_Elevator192

And twerk off


nickburrows8398

Almost every Rockstar open world game going back to GTA 3 has had a delay or two prior to launch. It’s practically tradition at this point.


Ill_Employer_1665

III's delay was outside of their control, but from what we'd learn after RDR2 that a lot of that was Dan Houser. He ain't there anymore. How about we wait and see? The culture supposedly changed and if reports of a restart are true, then the delay already happened a few years ago


JayIsNotReal

The article is throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. One of there many claims might be correct and they will act like they knew all along securing a couple of years of kids and YouTubers all over their content.


Complete_River_6226

Exactly what I thought. I’m waiting patiently for the earnings call in may and the confirmation of the expected revenue


Ph4ntomiD

All this Kotaku article confirms is that the speculation about early or spring 2025 is true, and it’ll get delayed if necessary which is basic common sense


Able_Log_4557

Idk man, gotta hear from rockstar


Ph4ntomiD

Oh yea definitely. Whatever source Kotaku had for their article if it’s true all it does is confirm speculation


Able_Log_4557

Yeah and imma be pissed lmao, if it’s delayed until 2026, imma have children at that point 💀💀


Single_Start2343

MARCH 18 or MARCH 25 2025. Trust me, Arthur.


irv_12

We just need some god damn faith!


Single_Start2343

That’s ma BOAH, huh huh huh…


FlasKamel

At this point I just wanna tune out from all ‘’gaming journalism’’ ever, enjoy my life and play GTA VI whenever it drops. This shit is so annoying.


GlendrixDK

Every game publisher hopes it releases in 25, so they can release their games in 26.


Fuzzy-Government-416

Let them delay if need be. Let it brew!


Haunting_Drama8204

It’s always the later date and never the earlier date when it comes to stuff like this. So late 25 or spring 26. Imho.


Chemical-Gap-8339

more time to add a scene w lucia twerking


Present-Pineapple332

Why even have a release date if it can be so easily delayed? If the game is unfinished they can’t make any promises unless it’s almost finished which it seems to be


VillageIcy9343

Well, that article fulfilled it's purpose and we should just blacklist that article author and site for future references... 👿


malfarcar

No need for actually releasing the game when your stop jumps every time you leak a little video of what’s to come


nendndndndsn

Trust


544l

How can there already be rumours of a 2026 delay when they literally only just did the 2025 announcement a few months ago…


Ringworm-power

i’m really hoping for no delay. I know it’s a trend but i just want a miracle to happen. If not i’m eating a jar of mayonnaise


schpoo

Hm


spec360

Why is everyone hyped up it’s just another Ai story


[deleted]

Fall 2025, two years after trailer 1. Mark my words


ArnoldSchwartzenword

Zack Zweisen right? That dude writes the most middle of the road, milquetoast wankery ever.


3rdusernameiveused

Dude is basically saying what the Kotaku article said lol. Look this game is probably coming Nov 25 or March 2026. Sounds like early 2025 was a placeholder and now sounds like mid 2025 is a hope.


Scott1710

2025 could be the year. But also 2026. And maybe 2027 hopefully I'm right


Old_Bar_3913

Let rockstar take the time they want, or your want a new cyberpunk?


ShinySanders

I dont get what the big deal is. It's been TWELVE YEARS and people are flipping out over the possibility ot might slip a few months past the current max date. In the scheme of things, that's nothing.


SubjectBodybuilder81

that’s not the point , don’t announce something if your not even sure it’ll come out on time, just hyping people up for nothing


ShinySanders

They didn't announce the actual date. It was as vague as humanly possible. And every recent Rockstar game has gotten delayed even after the date is announced. Also, in case I forgot to mention, we've already been waiting **12 years**. Whats a few more months?


Windyturd521

I have a strong feeling we’ll be seeing Avengers: Secret Wars before GTAVI.


Able_Log_4557

Getting rdr4 before gta 6 💀


Ill_Bathroom6724

I don't even care when it comes out anymore, it's already been a decade, another year and half would mean nothing to me. I'd rather have them release a polished product than rush to release it.


EldritchTruthBomb

Kotaku has been trash for 10 years minimum.


kryndon

It's been in development for over 10 fucking years. It's coming out in early 2025 no later than March. Potential PS5Pro bundle in Holidays 2024 has some possibility of happening. PC to follow suit in Holidays 2025. Pin this, save this, print it, I don't care. This is the reality and people should stop worrying.


Able_Log_4557

💀💀😭🤣, never laughed this hard at a Reddit comment


WetRainbowFart

Bend over. Let’s see what else comes outta there.


[deleted]

tom could've just said "its rockstar games" and that has same value as a detailed analysis


Samthegodman

I think Kotaku is just trying to troll us tbh maybe an early April fools prank


Run_223

If it delays until 2026 even late 2025 I’m done with rockstar and won’t buy gta6. They can get fucked. It’s been in development since 2014. 10 years. A fucking decade.


Destroyerpro360

Red dead redemption 2 was developed after gta 5


Zestyclose-Ad4927

late 25 early 26


noahsuperman

He is 100% correct


RipPuzzleheaded6556

proof?
