In an interview with IGN before to the earnings conference, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the ambiguous timeline and admitted that fans could be let down.
“Look, there’s always a chance of slipping, and I believe you jinx things the moment you use phrases like definitely. Thus, we are rather pleased with it,” he remarked.
“I believe there is a lot of internal and external anticipation for the game. We are aware that Rockstar strives for excellence. I never declare myself successful until I achieve it.
Our whole organization is ecstatic. Naturally, fans had been guessing what the update would include in advance, with some hoping there wouldn’t be a delay.
Others just wanted to know if 2025 was still a possibility or to see another trailer. The message was basically everything except a delay.
