Sucker Punch Productions gears up for the release of Ghost of Yōtei
Sucker Punch Productions is getting ready for the launch of Ghost of Yōtei on October 2, exclusively for PlayStation 5. The recent announcement of the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 to May 26, 2026, has brought a sense of relief to the entire team.
During an interview on MinnMax, creative director Nate Fox was asked if the team had celebrated the delay of GTA 6. His response was straightforward: “We are still hungover. A hangover of several months. It was a big day.”

The delay of GTA 6 has allowed other studios to adjust their release schedules. Several publishers were postponing the launch of their games until the fall of 2025, waiting to see if GTA 6 would be delayed to 2026 to avoid direct competition with the game from Rockstar Games.
