Grant Theft Auto VI, yet another highly anticipated game of recent years, is delayed. Let the sarcastic clapping begin.
Yup, GTA 6 is delayed again, this time from May 2026 to November 2026. Rockstar Games have added in the announcement that "these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve".

What always fascinated me in the books, movies or video games was the concept of an evil corporation. They always had some nefarious, although logical, plans, they were powerful, they were crushing people just for the fun of it. They were always over-the-top, always taking part in some evil plans, and always had some twisted individual in charge of them. But in real life...
No, it’s not gonna be another "World of Warships is dead" or "WOWS is dying" article. Unfortunately, this completely broken game is alive, and it looks like with the community they have, it will be alive for a long, long time. But it is a final chapter - I’m done.
When you thought that the moment Ubisoft’s shares reached the rock bottom was bad, or the moment they had to sell all of their most valuable assets to the new investors was bad, no one could predict...
