GTA 6 Zelda November

We've spent the best part of 2026 banging on about how no major publishers are willing to release their games anywhere near GTA 6 — but Nintendo's not cut from the same cloth.

You've probably already seen the news, but The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 now has a confirmed launch date; it arrives worldwide on the 5th November, just two weeks before Rockstar's juggernaut lands.

It's just an interesting move, really. GTA 6 obviously isn't releasing on Nintendo hardware, and so it probably isn't viewed as direct competition for what will no doubt be the platform holder's biggest game of the year.

Beyond these two very heavy hitters, November's schedule is pretty much barren. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is out on the 3rd, and it's followed by CRYMELIGHT — a whimsical roguelike from Japanese developer FuRyu — on the 5th.

Bigger names like Phantom Blade Zero, and of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, have taken refuge in the tail end of October — another month that's utterly packed with new games, following on from the extremely busy September we currently find ourselves navigating.

Do you think Ocarina of Time has anything to fear from GTA 6? Is there enough of a gap there anyway? Salute Nintendo's bravery in the comments section below.
