Even a legendary developer like Hideo Kojima isn't immune to considerations over the GTA 6 release date, as he's acknowledged in a recent podcast. Luckily, though, Death Stranding 2 is quite far along in development, and its June release date was settled according to its own dev schedule.
"Some are saying GTA may or may not release in November," Kojima said in a podcast recorded before GTA 6's delay to May was announced, as translated by Genki on Twitter. "As soon as it would be announced for November, everyone would move out of they way. For instance, if a new Mission Impossible movie were to release in May, others wouldn't be able to compete with that so would move somewhere else."
