Take-Two Pushes Judas and BioShock 4 Beyond FY27 as GTA 6 Anchors $8 Billion Outlook
4 articles · Updated · Kotaku · May 21
Take-Two’s latest earnings lineup excludes Judas and BioShock 4 from fiscal 2027, signaling both games are at least a year away despite remaining on the company’s broader slate.
Six non-GTA releases are planned for the coming year instead: two mobile titles, NBA 2K27, PGA TOUR 2K27, WWE 2K27, and one platform extension, while GTA 6 was reaffirmed for Nov. 19, 2026.
Development troubles help explain the delay: Judas has spent about a decade in production, and BioShock 4 has been in development since 2019 after CEO Strauss Zelnick said he was "deeply disappointed" with progress.
Take-Two still projected strong growth, guiding next-year net bookings to $8 billion-$8.2 billion after full-year bookings rose 19% to $6.72 billion.
Catalog strength is cushioning the wait: GTA 5 has sold nearly 230 million units, and Red Dead Redemption 2 topped 85 million after its best year since launch.
With GTA VI's launch just months away, can its success mask the deep development troubles plaguing Take-Two's other major titles?
As development for titles like BioShock 4 falters, is Take-Two becoming too financially dependent on its aging but profitable franchises?
