Take-Two CEO of Bullish in his games, but be careful for the customs tariff | Strauss Zelnik

Strauss ZelnikTake-Two Interactive Software has talked about the latest plans by the publisher of Triple-A with their upcoming titles and his opinion of potential tariffs on keyboards.

I met Zelnick for a short time today and asked if Take-Two would support Nintendo Switch 2 Big. He said he could not comment on their plans. “Historically, we have supported all the main platforms and selectively supported Nintendo platforms. For example, CIV 7, which is present early today, will be available for switching. So I will have every belief that we will support switch 2.”

And I asked if it would be reassured that the dates of the mafia: the old country and Grand Theft Auto VI You will not slip, given that there is no launch date for these games yet. Repeat Take-Two only its expectations that a mafia will appear for the first time in the summer and the GTA VI will appear in the fall.

“It is always the possibilities in our business. However, we have given the narrow window to the upcoming addresses. After all, it is February and we have set the release schedule through the end of the evaluation year.”

He was asked if he was concerned about The definitions suggested by Donald Trump He said: Whether they will affect gaming devices or disk sales, “I am not sure that it will affect the material tablets. I think the definitions can be negative for the sales of the console. As an economic expert, I am not a big fan of commercial wars. I think there are moments in it. The definitions are logical.

Take-Two confirmed that Michael Condry, founder Union 31 Game studio, leave the company. It also announced that the studio makes the spirit of the project. When asked, “We are grateful to Michael Condry. He has done a great job for us. Bring us a project and create a team. He will continue to advise us about the future of the project spirit. We will manage it. The transfer team leads” the completion of that game.

As for the consumer direct mobile sales, I noticed that the company said it was growing and asked whether he was seen as a strategic opportunity.

He said he expected to be a direct part of the company’s mobile platform more than it is currently.

However, it will definitely not be the lion’s share of sales. We are still very happy to work with our retail partners, and we will continue to do so around the world. ”

As for the mobile trends that slowed the Zynga sales, he said: “Our point of view is that the mobile phone has returned to modest growth, but we had no kind of wind with strong industry that everyone was enjoying until mid -2012.

“So the good news is that it is due to growth. The other news is that it is still a fairly difficult market. He said that our repeated consumer spending increased about 6 % in a quarter.” It was somewhat shy about our expectations. On the other hand, we achieved this huge blow to the great matches and performance factory in many titles such as toon Blast and Toy Blast. So we are satisfied with Zinga. We are happy that it is part of our wallet. We have what we think will be the next great versions. At the same time, the industry was slightly challenged. “

I also asked about ESA’s new commercial conference, IiconComing in 2026. He said, “I am very excited about it. Frankly, I think it will be great.”
