In a bold move that sets it apart from the rest of the gaming industry, Devolver Digital is embracing the impending release of Grand Theft Auto 6 with a unique twist. This weekend, the publisher took to X to share a cryptic message in response to the announcement of GTA 6’s release date, stating, “You can’t escape us. May 26, 2026 it is then.”
Devolver’s Indie Spirit
Known for its innovative and quirky titles such as Cult of the Lamb, Death’s Door, The Talos Principle, Gris, and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Devolver Digital is positioning itself as a formidable contender in the indie game arena. The question now lingers: what game will they unveil on the same day as the highly anticipated GTA 6?
Among the possibilities, Enter the Gungeon 2 is already slated for a 2026 release, but the buzz around Hotline Miami 3—though not yet officially announced—could resonate well with the theme of competition against a titan like GTA 6.
The stakes could rise even higher if Rockstar Games decides to delay the launch of GTA 6. In such a scenario, Devolver would have the opportunity to either release their game as planned, basking in the glory of a successful launch, or choose to delay it, staying true to their commitment while adding an element of suspense.
Furthermore, the timing may favor Devolver, as the PC gaming community could be more inclined to support an indie title, especially since GTA 6 is unlikely to be available on PC at launch. This strategic positioning could allow Devolver to capture the attention of gamers looking for alternatives in a crowded market.
