'We'll be there on GTA 6's debut day': Devolver intentions to publish a game synchronously with GTA 6, regardless of its release timeframe.
Feisty Devolver Digital Is Bent on Sharing the Spotlight with GTA 6
Stirring up the gaming world, Devolver Digital is refusing to play second fiddle. In response to the announcement of GTA 6's release date, they took to social media with a challenging message, "You can't escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then."
This bold move is a continuation of a March post, where Devolver casually promised, "Gonna release a game the exact same day and time as GTA 6."
Details about the game Devolver is planning to pit against GTA 6 remain under wraps. Known for its provocative industry stunts, the publisher might just strike the jackpot if it finds the same mutual hype experienced by Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal during their shared release in March 2020.
The contrasting release dates of the two games were quite the spectacle, so whatever Devolver comes up with is bound to be quite different from GTA 6.
As for their arsenal of indie games, they've published some real gems like Cult of the Lamb, Death's Door, The Talos Principle, Gris, and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. If anyone can pull off launching an indie game on the same day as GTA 6, it's probably them.
While the mystery game has yet to be revealed, two possibilities are in the air – Enter the Gungeon 2 and Hotline Miami 3. However, there's currently no official announcement about the latter.
If GTA 6 faces another delay, the situation could get even more interesting, allowing Devolver to either claim the spotlight or follow suit to stay true to their word.
With GTA 6 likely not reaching PC on launch day, Devolver might find an enthusiastic audience in the PC gaming community.
