GTA 6 Preorders on May 12? Hold Off for Now

According to overseas bloggers and a Reddit user claiming to be a UK retail employee, GTA6 pre-orders may open on May 12, with the embargo lifting at 4 p.m. BST and a listed price of £69.99. None of that has been confirmed by Rockstar. At the same time, foreign media have pushed back on another fast-moving rumor, arguing that the supposed Resident Evil 9 "Ada Wong DLC" leak is not credible after a chain of misread and recycled reporting.

Price is usually the first detail that reshapes expectations, and the rumored £69.99 for GTA6 has done exactly that. Converted, that is about 648 yuan, putting it broadly in line with earlier listings: HK$568 in the Hong Kong online store and NT$1990 at Taiwan retailer PRey. The important point is that all of this still sits at the level of retail-channel rumor, not official Rockstar confirmation. Reports about internal promo packs are not meaningless, but they are still a step short of an announcement. Players planning to buy at launch should keep an eye on May 12, without letting rumor-driven market mood do the deciding too early.

The Resident Evil 9 claim looks even shakier once the rumor trail is unpacked. According to foreign media, the idea that Ada Wong would appear in Resident Evil 9 DLC started with comments from Conchi López, the Spanish voice actor in Resident Evil 4 Remake, being misunderstood by a podcast host. After the video was deleted, that mistaken reading kept getting repeated until it reached leaker Dusk Golem, where it gradually hardened into something that sounded far more solid than it was. The original material was clear on one point: Conchi López never confirmed involvement in Resident Evil 9, and there is currently no substantive evidence supporting the Ada Wong DLC claim. For series fans, this is a familiar case of rumor distortion through secondhand retelling, where the biggest risk is treating speculation as confirmed information.

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé also offered a useful window into Nintendo's thinking on cartridges, patches, and discounts. He said Nintendo first-party games rarely go on sale because the company aims to ship as complete a product as possible at launch, without leaning too heavily on day-one patches. He cited The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as an example, saying its digital version has never received an official discount. From a product-strategy standpoint, the point is not to seem distant or premium for its own sake. It is to tie polish at release to long-term value. That usually means more effort up front, but also stronger word of mouth and better price retention later. Even so, the original report noted that this approach may not remain unchanged forever given the broader economic environment.

On AI, major publishers including Sony and Epic Games are currently using much the same language: AI is meant to empower developers, not replace them. Fortnite senior development manager Stephanie Annett said Epic is exploring AI mainly to improve efficiency, and that it will also be used in art production in the future. She also said partners are not allowed to deploy AI on their own, with Epic keeping centralized control. The problem is credibility. The original report points out that Epic laid off 1000 people in 2026, which makes it hard for players to fully accept the company's reassurance that AI tools are not about reducing jobs. Corporate wording can be polished, but the real test is whether staffing visibly contracts while the message stays the same.

The final item comes from Ubisoft, where Tom Henderson claims a Rayman Legends remake is in development. The project is said to include co-op play and classic elements, with internal feedback reportedly positive, and it could be announced as early as this summer. Ubisoft's CEO had already hinted that Rayman 30th Anniversary was only the first step in bringing the IP back. For an older franchise, a return only matters if it preserves what made the original work. A simple resolution bump would not mean much if the movement feel suffered in the process. But if the co-op content, level pacing, and core experience remain intact, this is a project worth watching. The takeaway is fairly straightforward: GTA6 players should wait for an official pre-order page before deciding, Resident Evil fans should treat the Ada Wong DLC talk as unverified rumor for now, and anyone interested in Rayman Legends should watch the summer reveal window closely.
