Release battle, which one will release first:

GTA VI

The Elder Scrolls VI

Hytale

Half Life 3

Mario Kart 9

HL3 and TES VI will never release. Those are pipe dreams. I'm going with GTA VI, because I think Take Two Interactive disclosed in their Form 10-K that they had a major IP releasing at the end of calendar 2024. For context, the SEC really doesn't like it when firms fuck around on those forms.

We more or less got HL3 in Half Life: Alyx. People can deride it for "not being a real Half Life game" because they personally don't like VR or something, but it's pretty much HL3

A 5 or 6 year window between massive titles is pretty normal these days. 5 years separated GTA IV and V. Also, 5 years also separated GTA V and RDR2.

Looks like the might have a 6 year gap this time, but they also had a global pandemic mucking up development. A lot of studios struggled with that.

The excitement! I bet the shareholders are absolutely drooling! Think of the dividends, woooo /barf
