, that much is clear. But there are two video games that are throwing caution to the wind and braving the behemoth that is Rockstar’s next epic — and they’re unlikely comrades in arms indeed.

Atari seems to have decided it is better to meet GTA 6 head-on than steer clear, announcing two games due out in November. First up is

, coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 on November 3. And while there’s all this talk about GTA 6 potentially costing up to $100, Godzilla has swooped in to undercut Take-Two's ambitious revenue plans with a $29.99 price point. Take that, GTA 6!

will launch later this year across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 priced $29.99. This is a big deal, folks, because in Barbie Rewind, players can "intertwine a brand-new Barbie DreamHouse design game with 16 classic Barbie games from the Y2K era."

Here’s the official blurb:

A cozy, creative world inspired by Barbie invites players to reimagine the iconic DreamHouse. Style each room with a fabulous collection of furniture, decor, and accessories inspired by real Barbie playsets released over the past 65-plus years. To access many of the playset items, Barbie will challenge players to reach achievements by playing a collection of Barbie video games from the 1990s and 2000s. It's not quite the video game equivalent of Hollywood's 'Barbenheimer' phenomenon (Barbzilla? Godbie?), but I am left wondering: with Godzilla coming out November 3 and Barbie launching November 12, will there be any players left for GTA 6’s November 19 launch? This is a devastating one-two punch from Godzilla and Barbie before GTA 6 has had the chance to land a hit, and I’m not sure even Rockstar can take it on the chin.

So, if Rockstar announces yet another GTA 6 delay, you know why.
