XCOM: Enemy Unknown launching October 13

While that other XCOM game suffers yet another delay, the strategy laden XCOM: Enemy Unknown has confirmed that it will be launching October 13 here in Australia, with the PC and console versions launching on the same day.

Enemy Unknown conveniently fills the blank spot left by BioShock Infinite's delay to next year, giving 2K some space to hopefully harbour a triumphant return for one of gaming's long forgotten franchises.

What does this mean for Take-Two's plans to release GTA V in October? Surely they wouldn't release two blockbusters in the same month, would they?

I don't think XCOM: Enemy Unknown is at all a threat to GTA V.

Making of trailer:

If Take-Two launch GTA V and Enemy Unknown in the same calendar month, GTA V will cannibalise sales from their own product.

Doesn't make good business sense.

Oh, in that sense, yeah, but I couldn't imagien it being vice-versa.

I don't know why I thought you meant XCOM would hurt GTA V... [Facepalm]
