GTA 6? No thanks, I'll be playing Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, an action platformer from Devolver that's releasing day and date with Rockstar's behemoth

We all know when GTA 6 is releasing because there are zero games releasing in November apart from it. Or, that would be true, if Devolver Digital weren't the miscreants they love to be. They've been saying for a while now that they'll be releasing a game come hell or highwater, day and date with GTA 6, and that's exactly what they're doing with Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, a real game but…

GTA 6? No thanks, I'll be playing Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, an action platformer from Devolver that's releasing day and date with Rockstar's behemoth

GTA 6 is set to release in November, but fans have a new option to look forward to - Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed. This action platformer, developed by Devolver Digital, will hit the market on the same day as Rockstar's blockbuster game. Volvy, a fictitious mascot, stars in this remastered action platformer, offering players a unique gaming experience.

The game features a distinctive blend of gameplay mechanics, reminiscent of iconic titles like 2D Sonic, Wario: Master of Disguise, and Donkey Kong. As a result, Volvy can run, float, stomp, punch, and even dig, all while navigating its colorful pixel art environments. With a short playing time and a price tag under five dollars, the game promises to deliver an entertaining and affordable gaming experience.

Originally conceived as a marketing stunt, the game was designed for the Game Boy Color and later expanded into a full-fledged release for PC. This strategic move gives Volvy an edge over GTA 6, as GTA is not yet available on PC. As a result, gamers who crave a fresh and entertaining gaming experience can look forward to playing Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed on November 19th.
