GameRant picks FromSoftware's The Duskbloods as GTA 6's top 2026 rival
An opinion column argues the Switch 2 exclusive, not Nintendo's Ocarina of Time remake, is the year's biggest non-Rockstar release.
BriefHeistNotes News Desk·
A GameRant opinion column takes on a question many players are asking this autumn: which game, if any, can hold attention alongside Grand Theft Auto 6? The writer expects GTA 6 to dominate 2026 and notes that publishers have been moving their games away from Rockstar's release window. According to the column, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake arrives two weeks before GTA 6.
The writer's pick for the biggest rival is not Zelda. It is FromSoftware's The Duskbloods, a Switch 2 exclusive from director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The column says FromSoftware and Nintendo still publicly describe it as a 2026 release, although it has no firm date. The writer points to the studio's habit of releasing a game every year, and to reports of an unusually long development, as reasons to expect it on time.
The column ends by suggesting that an Elden Ring successor is the kind of game that could take some attention away from GTA 6. The full opinion piece is on GameRant.
