Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a playful response, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has declared its intention to launch a new game on the very same day. This strategic move was cheekily announced via a post on X/Twitter, highlighting Devolver Digital's plan to ride the wave of what's expected to be the biggest game launch of 2026. The company's message is clear: "You can’t escape us."

Devolver Digital, known for its quirky and smaller-scale titles like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb, has promised to unveil a mystery game alongside GTA 6. Whether this will be a sequel to a beloved series or a fresh new title is still up in the air. The publisher's upcoming releases include Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman, both slated for release before the end of 2025. Additionally, Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 are on the horizon for 2026, though developer No Brakes Games has confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 won't be part of the May 26 launch.

Devolver Digital's unique approach to capitalize on this hype demonstrates its characteristic flair, but the specifics of their plan remain a mystery. We'll have to wait and see how this bold strategy unfolds.
