We don’t know what their marketing plans are but realistically it is probably two or three more trailers. The game is set to come out in october/november. That’s still eight or nine months away.
While fifteen months of silence since the announcement may seem like a long time I don’t think it’s unheard of or an indication that the game won’t be ready. We should also take the leaks into account. There was the massive 2022 leak and unfortunately also a leak for trailer 1. It’s probably safe to say that Rockstar is being hyper aware of what and when things will go public because of that.
I just can’t see it releasing this year. Realistically the next investor call is massive in regards to a release window. That second trailer cannot be far away.
I personally think it’ll get shifted to a Spring/Summer 2026 release.
Full on all in “dedicated” production didn’t begin til February of 2022. Prior to that the game was in Pre Production and by extension Early Production.
If we look at what Rockstar was working on after RDR2 Released it’s as followed.
Red Dead Online Support (put on Life Support as of February 2022)
Grand Theft Auto Online Support (Ongoing)
Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced and Expanded (PS5 & Xbox 2022)
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Development Support for GSG (during and after the botched launch til Video Games Deluxe took over aka the people who made the mobile/Netflix Versions)
R.A.G.E Engine Upgrades (no clear timeline but a given since it’s their in-house engine)
Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced and Expanded (PC released 2025)
Grand Theft Auto Vl Pre/Early Production (Concluded as of February 2022 and went into full development no clear indication of when Pre/Early Started but can be assumed it was as early as October 2018)
some degree of support for the Max Payne Remakes which went into full production as of Q2 2024
The healthy mindset when it comes to how long it’s been taking them is as of February 2022 they had the general framework down and cast locked in with Voice Work being underway. As for the open world element which is obviously the most time consuming part of development since it’s no easy feat to make living and breathing worlds dense and rich with content.
It’s no secret the game will be massive, but given what we saw in the early build leaks we only saw a small portion of what the game will offer. It’s in the realm of possibility crunch can get them to the finish line as terrible as it sounds. But that window is getting smaller each passing day.
I’ll be more impressed if they release the game in a polished state in 2025 if anything given the technical boundaries of the PS5 and Xbox Series they’ll be pushing it.
I think we might get slay the spire 2 news here since it was revealed here last year also both of the deep rock galactic spinoffs and vampire survivors are confirmed to be here so yay
So first thing is first there must be a typo or something because the CYK song is “96 Quite Bitter Beings”.
Next is for some reason they call End It’s song “New Wage Salary” when the song is “New Wage Slavery”. Kinda hoping they are just mistakes and them not trying to “Police Truck” the two songs.
And lastly KRS-One’s song here is Outta Here instead of Hush. Since Hush isn’t on streaming that might be a rights thing.
Oh and that Gang of Four song was in Mat Hoffman Pro BMX 2.
The headline is cut-off here, but the quote is “to captivate the TikTok user”… Oh GOD AAA
The aim of this adaptation is to make the game accessible for mobile devices and playable in short bursts.
“We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” said studio head Denis Havel, an original member of the Disco Elysium development team.
I think it’s a neat idea turning the already dialogue-heavy game into basically a visual novel with its stunning art style too, but gosh, this is such an eye-rolling way to market it
Your average TikTok user can’t handle the nuance to this game, I’m sure…
Apparently this thing is rated “Adults Only 18+” on the mobile app store… HOLY CARP.
Maybe that’s something they’ll argue to lower to simply an M 18+, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mainstream game have that rating.
It’s always been random, obscure titles you’d only know by reading the wikipedia page on the rating lol.
(IDK what the “first two chapters” are, since I don’t remember the game operating on a “chapter basis” just days of the week.
If it is days, then wow, that’d be one serious demo… because I even found the first “day” already overwhelming with mysteries and characters and dialogue…)
