Devolver Digital to Launch New Game on GTA 6 Release Day

Rockstar Games has officially announced that the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a playful twist, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has seized the moment to reveal its own plans for a game release on the same day. Known for their quirky marketing tactics, Devolver Digital announced on X/Twitter that they intend to launch a mysterious new title alongside the colossal GTA 6 launch.

Devolver Digital's humorous yet strategic move to coincide with GTA 6's release date showcases their intent to capture some of the spotlight on what's poised to be the biggest gaming event of 2026. Their message, "You can’t escape us," underscores their determination to make an impact on May 26, 2026.

With a rich portfolio of indie hits like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb, Devolver Digital has a variety of options for what this mystery title could be. It could be a sequel to an existing game or an entirely new venture. The publisher has several titles slated for release before the end of 2025, such as Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman, while Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 are expected sometime in 2026. However, developer No Brakes Games has already confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 will not be released on May 26, 2026.
