Take-Two To Reveal New Game This Month

Don’t get too excited, it isn’t a new Grand Theft Auto or anything of the kind. Well, it might be open-world, but it wouldn’t be from Rockstar so steady yourself. As first reported by VGC, the Take-Two Interactive quarterly report for Q1 2022 (yes, 2022) mentions more than just GTA V‘s 150-million copies sold and the company’s tenth superyacht. Instead, they let slip that Hanger 13, known for working on Mafia 3, is working on a game described as “Cthulhu meets Saints Row.” Additionally, Firaxis, known for Civilization and XCOM, is working on a Marvel-themed turn-based strategy game.

However, the call didn’t end there in terms of the eye-brow-raising statements about upcoming games. Karl Slatoff, Take-Two President, said, “Later this month, 2K will unveil details of another exciting new franchise planned for launch during this fiscal year.” Of course, the end of this fiscal year would be March 31st, 2022, making this a rather late announcement for something that has put tongues into override between those who know of it. As I said earlier, it is not a GTA announcement, so you don’t have to run in circles online to get as much from the game before the next release in the series comes, and GTA Online resets.

Nonetheless, tongues are still wagging like a dog’s tail about what comes later this month. Gamescom is set to (once again) be a fully digital event between August the 26th and the 27th. Everyone’s favorite Ken Doll, Geoff Keighley will be having another Opening Night Live, which could possibly be the place for the big reveal on the 25th. It would be an odd decision, as the company had an appearance at this year’s E3, and decided to confuse and anger some with a discussion on equality in the corporate world. Either way, we’ll be there for the announcement if it does happen at this year’s Opening Night Live, though I might hate myself for it.
