2K Games will announce “an exciting new series” this August. Will it be at Gamescom 2021?
Take-Two’s new game will hit stores before April 2022, if all goes well.
Take-Two , the parent company of 2K Games, Rockstar Games and Private Division (among others), has published its financial report this morning with the results of the first quarter of its fiscal year, which includes April to June 2021. And between the figures and the sales data of its sagas – GTA V already exceeds 150 million sales – very interesting news emerges for this month of August .
In the subsequent call with shareholders, 2K Games president Karl Slatoff confirms that the subsidiary will announce the first installment of a new video game series this month. And watch out, the game will hit stores sooner than you think: “Later this month [August], 2K is going to unveil the details about another exciting new series that plans to release in the current fiscal year.” Since it will be announced in August , all eyes are already on the digital Gamescom 2021 that awaits us at the end of the month.
It is clear from his words that 2K will announce a new franchise this month, although the interesting thing is at the end: it will be published within this fiscal year, that is, before April 2022 . Which means the game could hit stores as early as this fall and as late as March next year. If its development does not suffer problems, of course , since the pandemic has taught us to be very cautious with any date that is more than a month away.
Another curious detail is that, as shared by Twinfinite, Take-Two CFO Lainie Goldstein expects the company’s unannounced games to be the top earners this fiscal year. His claim seems to suggest that this unknown game would be a major production and not a more modest project. In the current fiscal year, Take-Two plans to release heavyweights like Grand Theft Auto 5 (next-gen) and the traditional NBA 2K22 that never miss their annual appointment .
