“We made the difficult decision to pause development on that SKU,” Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis said in the statement published by Variety. “Our focus continues to be delivering quality post-launch content for players on the ongoing improvements to optimize the game. We’re continuing to collaborate closely with our friends at Nintendo. We have ‘PGA Tour 2K25’ coming out and ‘WWE 2K26’ [for Switch 2], and we’re incredibly excited about bringing more of our titles to that platform in the future.”
Take-Two, which owns Borderlands 4 developer Gearbox, is making the announcement of the pause alongside its Q3 FY 2026 earnings. On Take-Two’s future games lineup included in an earnings press release, Grand Theft Auto VI is still listed for November 19th, 2026. Launch marketing for the game is set to begin this summer, so perhaps it actually won’t be delayed again. The lineup also includes “TBA” launch dates for Judas, which was officially announced in 2022, and the “next iteration” of the BioShock series, which has had a troubled development.
Additionally, Take-Two says that Grand Theft Auto V, which launched in 2013, has sold more than 225 million units so far.
