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.
