Take-Two delays ‘highly anticipated’ 2K franchise ahead of E3

Take-Two publishing label 2K Games has something new in the works that it just had to push into its fiscal 2020, which begins April 2019. In its latest earnings report, Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick explained that this mystery game will need more time. If it is “highly anticipated,” as Zelnick claims it is, it’s possible this is Borderlands 3, a new BioShock, or something else.

If 2K never announced the game, how could it delay it? Well, the publisher previously included it as part of its fiscal 2019 guidance. Now that it is moving that project to the following financial-reporting period, it has to tell investors so they can make informed decisions.
