With less than a month until the much-anticipated launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, the gaming world is buzzing with excitement and speculation about pricing, tariffs, and game key cards. Amid this whirlwind, one third-party publisher stands out with a positive outlook: Take-Two Interactive.
During a Q&A session with investors following their full-year earnings report, Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, expressed "great optimism" about Nintendo's upcoming console. He highlighted the improved support from Nintendo towards third-party publishers, a significant shift from past experiences:
"We're launching four titles with Nintendo Switch 2, and that's I think a bigger array of releases than we've ever offered before with a new Nintendo platform. Historically, being a third party in the Nintendo business has been a bit challenging. I think Nintendo has been very forthcoming in addressing that. And we're stepping up too, because we have great optimism for the platform. In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis, we obviously want to be where the consumers are. But we would not necessarily bring every title to every platform. There are also great catalog opportunities as well."
Take-Two is set to release four titles on the Nintendo Switch 2, including Civilization 7 on launch day (June 5), games from the NBA 2K and WWE 2K series (specific titles and release dates yet to be announced), and Borderlands 4 on September 12. While these titles are expected given Take-Two's existing portfolio on the current Nintendo Switch, Zelnick's comments suggest a potential for further releases, possibly tapping into their extensive back catalog. Although GTA 6 seems unlikely to make an appearance, there's a glimmer of hope for GTA V to eventually join the lineup.
In a pre-call interview, Zelnick also touched upon Take-Two's quarterly performance and provided insights into the development timeline of GTA 6, as well as his thoughts on the game's recent delay to the following year.
