Analyst Predicts a Long Wait Before Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date
As of September this year, it will have been six years since Grand Theft Auto V released back in 2013. While GTA V has provided us with endless fun, we’re itching to cause mayhem in a new city. But the Grand Theft Auto VI release date could be some time away, at least if analyst Alex Giaimo is correct.
What Analyst Alex Giaimo Said About the Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date
Jefferies analyst Alex Giaimo has suggested holding off on buying Take-Two Interactive stock for the time being. His reasoning for this is that GTA VI probably won’t come out anytime soon. Here is what he specifically had to say:
“Take-Two possesses the most high-quality content amongst the U.S. publishers, yet valuation feels full. We struggle to find a near-term catalyst to push the multiple much higher at these levels…Despite the undeniable success of GTA & RDR [Red Dead Redemption series], we believe TTWO is now in a ‘soft spot’ when considering the timing of the next release.”
While Giaimo may be right, it is important to keep in mind that he doesn’t provide any indication here that he knows anything from any insider sources. This is likely all supposition.
As of right now, not only do we not have a hint of a release date for GTA VI, but we really only have rumors to go on regarding any details of the game. In fact, Rockstar faces some unique challenges in making a GTA game in the current political climate, as acknowledged by Dan Houser last year while talking to GQ. Houser mentioned that satirizing right now is hard, because real life is already pretty surreal. In other words, real life these days is already looking crazier than anything the team can come up with. So it certainly is conceivable that these unique challenges could cause further delay in getting GTA VI out there.
