What's funny is there message is a "copy paste" from RDR2 second delay announcement :
https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/75o941131a48o4/Red-Dead-Redemption-2-Is-Coming-October-26th-2018

The fact it has a firm date makes be believe there won't be a second delay (first RDR 2 delay announcement was "spring").

Not really?

manny199501.bsky.social•6 days ago

It was just hopium at this point tbh, kinda expected rockstar to not delay this one because the trailer just said 2025 without committing to a particular month. Still held hope for an October release until today 😭

fehnnis.bsky.social•6 days ago

Plus, like......name a Rockstar Games title that WASN'T delayed at least once. It can't be done, AFAIK.

Is there a reason why they need it to come out in the first half of the year vs Holiday 2026?

justyoujustme.bsky.social•6 days ago

Typically fiscal years begin around September, so that would offer them the chance for it to come out and continue selling through multiple months before sales reports affect them.

skullivan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Also, it's over 6 months out from when this game would have released if it was still going to make 2025, it's not like this is a last second delay.

I was subscribed but then it switched to a paid subscription model, and sadly it's just not something I can afford.

I fully support Journalists being paid though.

Don't worry, I post paywall-free links here every week

kenobidaily.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would you say it's likely that there will be another delay even after this? Or is there more certainty around a May release date?

ripmcstudly.bsky.social•6 days ago

Next question: will the new version of GTAO also launch 5/26? I mean, it’ll probably be down from server load for a month after launch, but do they intend to put both out together? Doesn’t seem necessary

doomndgloom.bsky.social•6 days ago

Anyone that thought this game was coming out this year was mad. When was the last time Rockstar stuck to a release date? I’m not being critical of their decision, and if it’s to minimize crunch, even better. However, if you didn’t see this coming, you haven’t been paying attention.

Seeing people using Redditor as a derogatory term always makes me laugh. Appreciate your work.

gwenfro.bsky.social•5 days ago

Am redditor, reddit is shite

chrisgansler.bsky.social•6 days ago

But you didn't tell me in person so it doesn't count!!!!!!!111

diaborous.bsky.social•6 days ago

@jasonschreier.bsky.social do you think the game could be delayed to holiday 2026?

elfroze.bsky.social•6 days ago

What about new informations? In May?

tom.hubbell.zip•6 days ago

I remember seeing redditors getting mad at you for saying this at the time. Goldfish memories over there.

kushan.wtf•6 days ago

Probably not fair to treat all members of a huge social network as a single entity with a single thought process. Feels a bit strawman.

jasonschreier.bsky.social•6 days ago

I joke but honestly Reddit is one of my favorite websites these days

postulator.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do you think they will release new footage (Trailer 2 oder Artworks) this month to silence those who are disapointed about the delay?

muammar57.bsky.social•4 days ago

That date was for investors.
I kept saying that for over a year, too.

coreybcantor.bsky.social•6 days ago

Jason, can you tell me what Switch 2 games to expect for this fall?? You're a crystal ball at this point...

Is it a 3D Mario (or is that what the Donkey Kong team is doing)?

Will I get Animal Crossing or Smash Bros??

mrgoodbytes.dev•6 days ago

I'll give you a 99.9% guarantee you'll have a Donkey Kong game, a Mario Kart game, and that's as far as I'll go.

coreybcantor.bsky.social•6 days ago

lol

mrgoodbytes.dev•6 days ago

I'll see myself out now.

(In all honesty I'm guessing they're trying to space this stuff out over the next two years, Animal Crossing is likely 2026 at the earliest, who knows about Smash)

jamespolls.bsky.social•6 days ago

I myself thought it would come out this year but all those billions incurring for development will make the video game more expensive whenever it comes out🤦‍♂️
