The analysis uses recent reporting to judge which high-profile games may miss their current targets.

Overview

  • ComicBook.com ranks Grand Theft Auto 6 as most likely to slip despite its November 19, 2026 date, citing reports that development may not be finished and noting uncertainty until marketing ramps up.
  • Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine is pegged as a possible delay risk, with a Fall 2026 target reportedly aiming for September or October to steer clear of GTA 6’s window after a prior delay from 2024.
  • Playground GamesFable still lacks a firm 2026 date after a previous push, with rumors suggesting it could move to 2027 as fans await a deeper look at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22.
  • The piece notes that even specific release dates can shift, pointing to recent history where high-profile titles slipped close to their planned launches.
  • 007: First Light already slid from March to May 27, 2026, underscoring broader schedule volatility across a crowded release calendar.
