Devolver Digital Is Going Out of Its Way to Launch a New Game the Same Day as GTA 6

May 12,25(11 months ago)

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026, marking a significant event in the gaming calendar. In a playful twist, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has also jumped on the bandwagon, announcing its intention to launch a new game on the very same day. This move showcases Devolver Digital's characteristic humor and bold marketing strategy, as they cheekily declared on X/Twitter, "You can’t escape us."

Devolver Digital, known for its eclectic range of smaller-scale yet impactful titles like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb, has promised to unveil a mystery game on this highly anticipated date. This announcement follows their earlier commitment to launch a game coinciding with Rockstar's GTA 6 release date reveal. While the nature of the mystery game remains under wraps, it could either be a sequel to one of their existing series or a completely new venture. Devolver Digital's upcoming projects include Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman, set to release before the end of 2025, as well as Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2, slated for 2026. However, developer No Brakes Games has already confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 will not see the light of day on May 26, 2026.

With over a year to go before its launch, GTA 6 is already poised to be a monumental release in the gaming world. As the first numbered entry in Rockstar's celebrated sandbox series since 2013, anticipation is sky-high. Devolver Digital is leveraging this excitement in its unique way, aiming to capture some of the spotlight on this blockbuster day. Only time will tell how they will execute this ambitious plan.
