Was it a joke? Maybe. Yet, it really happened.<\/p>\n
GTA VI’s new delay<\/a> is no longer just an issue for the fans of the popular video game series; it has now landed in parliament. To be precise, the Polish parliament. <\/p>\n During a recent session, a member of the KWiN opposition party (Confederation Liberty and Independence) took the floor to speak out against the new postponement.<\/p>\n “As part of my parliamentary statement, I wanted to inform you about a very disturbing matter. An hour ago, Rockstar Games announced that the release of GTA VI will be delayed until next year. This is a huge scandal”, said Witold Tumanowicz.<\/p>\n “Honestly, if people don’t take to the streets after something like this, I don’t know what will happen,” the MP added jokingly in his speech at the Polish lower house last week.<\/p>\n Some Polish media slammed <\/a>the 38-year-old’s stunt as an “absurd scene”, while social media users took it with a bit more humour.<\/p>\n “Finally, some important topics are being discussed”, was one of the comments on X.<\/p>\n Another MP, from the Law and Justice Party, Pawe\u0142 Szrot, backed his colleague and doubled down<\/a>: “I respect such statements, Representative. I hope the add-on for Bannerlord (another role-playing video game) doesn’t get delayed any further.”<\/p>\n What is GTA, and what happened with the new release?<\/p>\n Produced by Rockstar Games, GTA (Grand Theft Auto) is a hugely successful gangster-themed video game series, famous for its violence, strong and coarse language, but also for its well-crafted characters and realism – so much so that it’s become a classic pop icon.<\/p>\n Over the years, players of the game have enjoyed settings that have ranged from 1980s Miami to backdrops inspired by Los Angeles’ early-2000 ghettos.<\/p>\n The very first title was released in 1997, then six more followed. The franchise is understood to have sold over 450 million copies<\/a>.<\/p>\n GTA VI has already suffered not one, but two delays.<\/p>\n Initially scheduled for Autumn 2025, the latest announcement says it will only be on sale on 19th November 2026.<\/p>\n The previous chapter – GTA V – hit the shelves 12 years ago, which explains the current sky-high hype and anticipation for the new title. <\/p>\n
