The June State of Play showcased PlayStation's preview of 'Romeo Is a Dead Man' by Goichi 'Suda51' Suda, featuring stylish aesthetics typical of his work. The game will not launch until after the expected release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2026. This strategic timing aims to prevent competition during a peak sales period, with Suda51 citing concerns over even contemplating a simultaneous release. Analysts anticipate significant hardware sales when GTA 6 launches, but its delay could negatively impact the overall video game industry's financial performance in 2025. 'Romeo Is a Dead Man' is set to feature over-the-top gameplay as players assume the role of an FBI agent chasing fugitives across the universe.
While Suda51's 'Romeo Is a Dead Man' aims to carve a niche with its unique style, the game's release will strategically avoid Grand Theft Auto 6.
Suda51 remarked, 'That's kind of obvious, isn't it? Every publisher wants to make sure to steer clear of that one game's release date.'
Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence that another GTA 6 delay is unlikely, emphasizing the expected sales boost for hardware upon release.
The anticipated shift in the gaming landscape due to GTA 6's release could spur sales jumps yet lead to a financial dip in the industry this year.
