When you are told that GTA 6 controls industry, it is not a joke. The proof, Hideo Kojima recently confirmed that the title of Rockstar Games had impacted the choice of the release date of Death Stranding 2.
For almost a year and a half, the whole industry has remained suspended from the lips of Rockstar. On the players’ side, first, because we were impatiently waiting to discover the Trailer 2 in GTA 6 Fallen this week. And on the side of the professionals, then, who were especially waiting to know the release date of the game. Not to play it, even if it is certain that the title will be examined from all its seams by others, but rather to know where to position their games in relation to him. And that, Hideo Kojima confirms it with Death Stranding 2.
Yes, GTA 6 impacted the release of Death Stranding 2
Indeed, we learned it several weeks ago, it is the June 26 next that the new Japanese creator game will be released on Ps5. However, it turns out that it was not the launch window envisaged by the studio. As Kojima explained in response to a question that was asked during his program A Hideo Kojima Radio, He and his team rather aimed at the start of the school yearand more precisely around September. But the uncertainty concerning the release of GTA 6, initially planned for this fall, pushed to make big change of calendar.
And the reason for this is simple: nobody wants to be faced with a monster like it. “For example, some said that GTA could or may not be released in November. As long as he was announced for November, everyone has gone out of the way ” He said, before continuing his analogy by evoking the world of cinema: “If a new film Mission Impossible was to be released in May, the others could not compete with it and then change niche ”. It’s the same for video games, nothing very surprising in it.
The game soon in our hands
Of course, all of this was before Rockstar Games announced the postponement of GTA 6 next year, thus freeing the place for the fall of 2025. But since a schedule cannot be done at the last minute, it was already too late for Death Stranding 2, whose release date was set for a long time ago. That said, you have to see the good side of things: it makes us wait less before going back to the universe as fascinating as an asset of the title of Kojima Productions.
