Devolver Digital Boldly Launches New Game on GTA 6 Release Day

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a playful twist, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has declared its intention to launch a new game on the very same day. Devolver Digital announced this bold move on X/Twitter, playfully challenging the monumental launch of GTA 6 with their own mystery title.

This cheeky marketing strategy from Devolver Digital is set to coincide with the eagerly awaited release of GTA 6. After Rockstar finally revealed the long-anticipated release date, Devolver Digital wasted no time in setting their sights on May 26, 2026, stating, "You can’t escape us."

Devolver Digital boasts an impressive array of titles, including Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb. Whether they plan to release a sequel or introduce an entirely new game on this date remains a mystery. Their upcoming projects, Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman, are slated for release before 2025 ends. Meanwhile, Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 are expected in 2026, though developer No Brakes Games has confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 will not be launching on May 26.
