The Take-Two investor call was noticeably absent anything concrete on Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V beyond the publisher commenting it was ”full development” at the world renown studio.
The fiscal year outlook didn’t have any mention of GTA V, which already includes Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2 and Bioshock Infinite. They’re ”blessed to be working with Rockstar.”
Many still hoped that this October would hold a release for the next major instalment in the blockbuster franchise, but now it’s looking as if sometime in early or mid-2013.
”We just haven’t talked about a release date,” said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. ”We’re blessed to be working with Rockstar.” This puts a release beyond March 31st, 2013 as the next fiscal year begins April 1st. Another issue are the platforms it will be arriving on with talk of next-gen hardware perhaps getting carjacked by Rockstar.
