While so much attention has been placed on Rockstar Games and Grand Theft Auto 6, it's not the only project or studio that is under Take-Two's umbrella. There's 2K, Hangar 13, Gearbox and so much more, all pumping out titles from NBA 2K to Borderlands.
In the same earnings call where Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will indeed release on Nov. 19, the larger company released some of its plans for the upcoming fiscal year.
As first shared on social media, Take-Two has seven sequels and six remakes, remasters and platform extensions involving its "Core Existing IPs" that it plans to release between Fiscal Year 2028 and 2029.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Might Be The Last Video Game You Ever Own
The future of video games looks a little bleak.
Already, everyone's minds are going to a million different possibilities, including Red Dead Redemption 2 on current-gen hardware or Max Payne 3 ported to consoles.
Red Dead Redemption 2, Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto IV ... Oh My!
Before anyone gets too hyped, it's worth noting that "Platform Extensions" are a re-release of an existing game on a different platform. At least one of those titles could be Grand Theft Auto 6 on PC, which would be a platform extension. As would Borderlands 4 on Switch 2, or, dare we say, Grand Theft Auto 5 or 6 on Switch 2?
As for the rest of the lot, well, the possibilities are endless. Rumors have been circulating that Mafia 2 is the next game in line for a remake, which would make sense given that the first Mafia was remade and Mafia 3 released on modern hardware.
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the longstanding rumors that Grand Theft Auto 4 was being ported to modern hardware, thus ensuring that every core GTA title is available everywhere.
And we'd be even more remiss to not mention dreams of seeing Red Dead Redemption 2 on modern hardware, complete with 60 fps. There's also the Max Payne of it all, as Remedy has been working hard on a remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 in partnership with Rockstar Games proper. At that point, why not bring around Max Payne 3?
It doesn't help, then, that Rockstar began hiring for a position that would involve "classic game technology." At this point, the possibilities are endless.
