The day after tomorrow (or today, for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition), on June 26, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will be released. Isn’t it odd that this anticipated PS5 exclusive is launching in summer, while the first game debuted in the fall? Not really — especially considering the release date was announced back in early March, even before the news broke that GTA 6 would be delayed from this fall to next spring.
The game’s creator, Hideo Kojima — who years ago expressed his admiration for GTA 5 — said in his own radio show in May that he originally planned to release DS2 in September.

For example some are saying Grand Theft Auto may or may not release in November. As soon as it would be announced for November, everyone would move out of they way.When even a veteran of the gaming industry, still delivering high-quality and captivating titles, expresses concern over GTA VI impact on other projects — that says a lot.
