Fans fear that Mafia 4 will push the release of GTA 6 to 2026
The announcement of the fourth part of Mafia at gamescon 2024 was not only a big surprise, but also a cause for concern among those waiting for GTA 6. Some fans are seriously convinced that, due to the conflict of releases, Take-Two may postpone the release date of the sixth part of GTA.
Recall that the publisher of the fourth Mafia is 2K Games — a subsidiary of Take-Two, like Rockstar Games. The exact release date of the game was not disclosed, it is only known that it will be released in 2025. This became a cause for concern for Reddit users.
«And I don't really want to stir up worry but it has me worried because if we get a date for Mafia 4 before GTA VI I'm pretty sure that'll hint when GTA VI will drop and if that date is in fall 2025… I don't even want to say this… but GTA VI may be getting delayed into 2026», — said a Redditor with the nickname SuchAppeal.
His post collected quite a few ratings and comments, in which other users also shared their concerns. One of them noted that Borderlands 4, the developer studio of which is also part of Take-Two, will also be released in 2025. However, most are confident that new games based on iconic series will be released in different quarters of the year — for example, Mafia 4 may be released in the spring, freeing up space for the release of GTA 6. Take-Two will definitely try to make all the money in the world in 2025.
Let us recall that earlier a fake release date for GTA 6 appeared online – someone edited the game’s page on IMDb.
