2K would like to announce a new franchise in the current month. The Publisher confirmed this plan during the parent company Take-Two conference call, which focused on the results of the recent business quarters in focus. The new franchise should be published during the current financial year, which ends on March 31, 2022.
"Later this month, 2K details will reveal another exciting new franchise planned for the start this financial year," says Take Two President Karl Slatoff.
When exactly it will come to the revelation is still unclear. However, there are relevant speculation. So the new brand could be announced at Gamescom 2021, which is organized in the second year in a row as purely digital event . The start takes place with the Opening Night Live Show on August 25, before the main events will take place on 26 and 27 August.
Two important games postponed
During the conference call on Monday, Take-Two also announced that the launch of two "immersive core" titles delayed at a later date in the current financial year. The games were initially not called by name. One of the unannounced immersive core titles of Take-Two comes from the 2K Games label. It may be a new "Bioshock".
The Haupt Strauss Zelnick emphasized that the titles were postponed so that the developer teams can focus on fine-cut. He added that the delays are not related to Covid. The teams could work efficiently at home during the pandemic. Further shifts are currently not planned.
2K emphasized last May that 21 games are to be published in the current financial year, including four immersive nuclear games - two from "proven" franchises and two based on new brands.
