Take-Two says no to GTA V in 2010

Pachter predicted it’s coming out sometime in 2010. Todd Mitchell more recently guesstimated that it’s coming out by 2011. So is it coming out at all? Take-Two Interactive addresses the question, the “it” in reference being Grand Theft Auto V.

Pachter predicted it’s coming out sometime in 2010. Todd Mitchell more recently guesstimated that it’s coming out by 2011. So is it coming out at all? Take-Two Interactive addresses the question, the “it” in reference being Grand Theft Auto V.

Following the announced delay of BioShock 2, Take-Two went on to reassure the fans that their other games slated for 2009, specifically GTA: Chinatown Wars for the PSP and the DLC Compendium disc for the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV, are still set for a release this year.

Not one to be satisfied, the fans then asked about the rumored GTA V title. Strauss Zelnick responds:

I think the key take away is that we fully anticipate we’ll be able to achieve our goals of operating the company profitability in [2010], a year that won’t have a multiplatform release of a new GTA.

Not entirely convincing, actually, but PS3 Center reports that “Take-Two was very tight lipped on the matter, despite being pressed hard about it during the Q&A session following the conference call.”

• BioShock 2 pushed back, now scheduled for 2010 release
• Five million units sale for BioShock 2 targeted by Take-Two
