With Rockstar's GTA 6 set to "blot out the sun" when it arrives on November 19, numerous developers are purposefully avoiding releasing their games near it. In fact, there are basically no other major games set for release in November at all as of now. Now, a report from the reputable leaker Dealabs Magazine says a remaster of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee is releasing on November 3, just ahead of GTA 6. The report said Atari is bringing back the 2002 GameCube game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, with original developer Pipeworks handling production. The game will reportedly have a new online multiplayer mode, better graphics, and other updates. A sequel, Godzilla: Save the Ea

Marvel's Wolverine is going to take center stage at the June 2 State of Play, and developer Insomniac recently scared fans into thinking the game might be delayed with a cheeky post. Posting on social media, Insomniac spooked fans by releasing a statement in the style of GTA 6 developer Rockstar's posts about the delays for that game. For reference, Rockstar's post about the latest GTA 6 delay began with "Hi everyone." That wording has become something of a meme these days. So when people saw Insomniac's post that started with "Hey everyone," they thought Insomniac might have been informing fans about a Wolverine delay.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on-track to release in just under six months. And while it's too soon to claim the title will receive the same critical acclaim that Grand Theft Auto 5 received in 2013, Strauss Zelnick--the CEO of Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive--is confident the sequel will receive high reviews. He also believes the glowing response to Rockstar's previous games reflects well on the company itself. "Rockstar's scores are typically in the mid-90s, sometimes high 90s," Zelnick said during an interview with The Game Business. "Not many games can say that. And that's a reflection on Rockstar's commitment to quality." Zelnick also acknowledged that great reviews s
