This 2024 spike almost lines up with leaker Tom Henderson's GTA 6 release date prediction. If it is GTA 6 that has caused this spike, this would suggest that a delay has occurred. Originally this spike was expected to take place in the fiscal year 2023, however, it's been pushed back to 2024.
If this prediction is correct then we would expect to see GTA 6 release sometime between April 2023 and March 2024. In a note to investors, included in VentureBeat's report, Cohen pointed out that previous marketing budgets have predicted the releases of other big releases from Take-Two Interactive, including Red Dead Redemption 2. This led industry analyst Jeff Cohen to predict that this spike is because GTA 6 is expected to release within this period. As reported by VentureBeat, Take-Two's 10-K SEC filing (which lays out financial plans for the next five years) shows that the company expects to spend $89 million on marketing between April 2023, and the end of March 2024 - that's a huge spike and, as the report points out, more than half the marketing budget expected for any other fiscal year over the next decade. However, while the Kotaku report didn't give us an idea of when GTA 6 will release, publisher Take-Two Interactive's marketing budget may have given us our most solid GTA 6 release date hint.
Dipping further into the series' illustrious past, we'll also be treated to a GTA Trilogy remaster in the form of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition on November 11, 2021, which features Unreal Engine-made re-releases of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, and they're looking utterly gorgeous. However, given recent reports suggest the game could be looking at a 2024/5 release date, it's probably going to be quite some time before we learn more.Īside from these reports, it just makes a lot of sense that there would be another entry in the long-running series-GTA 5 continues to be a roaring success and is set to receive an expanded and enhanced edition next year. It really does seem like a pretty safe bet that the game will eventually be announced.Ī report from Kotaku claimed that a "new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series" was in the early stages of its development back in April 2020, leading to speculation that this could be GTA 6. While excitement over a game that hasn’t been officially unveiled might seem a little premature or optimistic, Grand Theft Auto 6 isn't simply a pipe dream.
