Recent rumors suggesting that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on May 18 have triggered a sharp rise in the stock price of Take-Two Interactive, the game’s publisher.
The company’s shares climbed by 5%, reaching $245.53. This surge increased Take-Two’s market capitalization by nearly $2 billion in just a few hours. Although analysts expect a slight correction during trading, excitement surrounding the upcoming Rockstar Games project has clearly reached a peak — even among investors.
As a reminder, the first image from Assassin’s Creed Hexe recently surfaced online.
