Overview
- Take-Two disclosed the new date in its quarterly earnings, and Rockstar confirmed it in a statement on X.
- This marks the second major postponement, moving from a Fall 2025 target to May 26, 2026, and now to November 19, 2026.
- CEO Strauss Zelnick backed the change, saying extra time was needed for polish and that the company remains confident in the new window.
- Take-Two’s stock fell sharply after the announcement before partially recovering, reflecting investor concern over timing and costs.
- The delay lands as Rockstar faces scrutiny over recent UK firings that labor organizers call union-busting, a claim the company disputes as unrelated to the schedule.
