These upcoming releases are not merely games but stepping stones towards a more robust gaming portfolio, enticing gamers with fresh and exhilarating experiences.
As the company sets its sights on the future, market analysts have pegged Take-Two’s fiscal 2025 total net bookings at an impressive $6.12 billion, reflecting a notable 14.9% year-over-year growth. Additionally, revenue estimates for the same period stand at $5.64 billion, suggesting a steady 5.64% increase.
Exciting Launches on the Horizon
One of the most anticipated releases from Take-Two is “Game of Thrones: Legends,” a high-profile RPG puzzle game under its Zynga Inc. subsidiary. Scheduled for a global launch on July 25, 2024, this game promises players a blend of epic puzzle battles, deep lore, and strategic gameplay that will immerse them in the world of Westeros like never before.
With an official license from Warner Bros. Discovery’s Interactive Entertainment division, “Game of Thrones: Legends” is poised to incorporate beloved characters and content from both the iconic “Game of Thrones” series and the upcoming “House of the Dragon.” Players will have the opportunity to lead their own Westeros house, forging alliances, building champions, and confronting formidable foes from the Game of Thrones universe.
Long-Term Growth Prospects
Looking ahead, Take-Two’s pipeline of upcoming games for fiscal 2025 is brimming with excitement. Titles like “NBA 2K25,” “WWE 2K25,” and the highly anticipated “Grand Theft Auto VI” are set to captivate audiences with their immersive gameplay experiences. The company’s legacy franchises, including “GTA” and “Red Dead Redemption,” continue to be strong contributors to its success, alongside new releases that are expected to keep Take-Two at the forefront of the industry.
