Despite the latest blog rumours, the GTA 5 is likely set for a release next year. It has been reported that if things can go well as planned, the latest GTA game sequel will hit the shelves before April of next year. Just recently, Take Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games who is responsible for the Grand Theft Auto franchise, delayed another anticipated game in the Max Payne Three. The game has been pushed for a May release.
Other games that Take-Two plans to launch this year will include Max Payne Three, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands Two and Spec Ops: The Line. It is too bad that the GTA will not make the list. But it does make sense for the company to take things slow as it already has a spectacular line up of titles set for hardcore gamers.
Market analysts have pegged that the GTA will shift its release date to the company’s 2013 fiscal period. The expected date for the game will likely be in the month of May, where it is the month that the franchise has enjoyed success on its blockbuster titles. Take-Two is planning to take things slow as it is also preparing for other titles set for next year.
One market analyst is saying that Take-Two will be successful one way or another and it is expected that they will gain large sums of earnings when it releases its game titles next year. The GTA V will be one of the reasons why it will likely push Take-Two to the next level in achieving two dollar earnings per share in the next fiscal year.
Even if the game release date has been rumoured to be set for next year, other analysts who have been observing the company believe that it will be very difficult to make an accurate prediction as there will be a plethora of game titles that still needs to be set for a release.
