Asobo says “all the studios in the world” planning to avoid GTA VI release window

Grand Theft Auto VI is set to be the biggest game launch of the year and other publishers are narrowly trying to avoid releasing their titles near the game’s release date of 19th November. In a new interview Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy producer, Eric Chort, has said that “all the studios in the world” are thinking about Grand Theft Auto VI and the potential disruption it could serve to video game releases this year.

“All the studios in the world were thinking about it. When you know that GTA is coming, you know that in terms of marketing, in terms of players, the time to play games, GTA is like the ogre, it’s the biggest one,” Chort explains. “So you try to adapt, you… try to avoid it. But then this year we see that there are only good games, or at least a lot of good games, so we’re like, okay, that’s the industry, and we try to make the best game possible.”
