GTA 6, Mafia, Borderlands 4, WWE 2K25 Launches: "Strongest Ever" Year Coming?
Take-Two Interactive unveils a powerful 2025 game lineup. CEO Zelnick confirms Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Feb. 11th), Mafia: The Old Country, Grand Theft Auto 6, WWE 2K25, and Borderlands 4.
With NBA 2K, GTA 5, and other games, wind in its sails, Take-Two Interactive has helped the company achieve great quarterly results as far as its revenue generation goes in the concluded quarter. The company revealed that its Net Bookings were as high as $1.37 billion. However, a lot rests on how new launches like GTA 6, Mafia, Borderlands 4 and more in the lineup fare in 2025. Huge expectations ride on GTA 6 especially as it will be launched after years of expectations building up in GTA fans.
Having said that, what are its projections for 2025? Is it still in the game with its older games, or is it looking for a massive outbreak considering that the competition is increasingly becoming more and more intense.
In his comments after revealing the third quarterly numbers, Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive, said, "For Fiscal 2025, we are reiterating our Net Bookings guidance range of $5.55 to $5.65 billion....."
The company is clearly not looking to sit on its haunches as Zelnick said, "Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as we plan to launch Sid Meier’s Civilization VII on February 11th, Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto 6 in the Fall, and Borderlands 4."
Check out the highlights:
1. Total Net Bookings grew 3% to $1.37 billion.
