Shpeshal Nick Baker has shared a teaser for something he claims could outdo the hype of Grand Theft Auto 6.
He made this statement on Twitter:
*If* what I was just DMd is actually true (big if), next week GTA 6 could actually have it’s thunder stolen on the hype scale lmao
What Could Be Bigger Than Grand Theft Auto?
There’s no doubt that Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest video game franchises of all time. But if we were honest about it, it’s hardly the only beloved classic franchise in the industry.
So it isn’t unreasonable to believe that there could be other games that could outdo Grand Theft Auto 6’s hype. But now we have to wonder what this could possibly be.
Nick didn’t drop any hints at all on what this could be, but we’ll put forward our speculation on what it could be.
Are We Finally Getting Beyond Good And Evil 2?
The original Beyond Good And Evil was nowhere near as successful or famous as the Grand Theft Auto games. But we think there’s a strong case for Beyond Good And Evil 2 to be as big if not bigger.
The long wait for this game has made it an even bigger punchline than Grand Theft Auto 6. But it also means there is a pent up demand for this game that would explode if Ubisoft suddenly reveals a release date.
It also works in Ubisoft’s favor that the rumor mill has dismissed the game as being in dev hell. No one would see this game coming when it actually does.
How About The Next Big Halo?
We know that Halo Studios just shifted to Unreal 5, and is currently working on their next game. We now know from Microsoft’s new direction that this next Halo is likely to be a multiplatform game too.
So that Halo game isn’t likely to appear in a while. But Halo Studios could absolutely wow fans if they make a blockbuster trailer to shock everyone.
We can also see games like Marvel’s Blade, BioShock 4, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, Final Fantasy VII Remake Part Three, Hogwarts Legacy 2, and Kingdom Hearts IV as some potential games that could take the wind out of Grand Theft Auto 6’s hype.
But with that said, we’re going to have to wait to find out if this thing is true as soon as next week.
