Resolution criteria

Girls und Panzer das Finale Part 5 is set to be released in 2026, while GTA 6 will release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. The market resolves to whichever title receives its official theatrical/commercial release first. Resolution will be determined by official release announcements from the respective publishers (Bandai Namco Filmworks for Girls und Panzer, Rockstar Games for GTA 6). If both release on the same date, the market resolves to "Other."

Background

Four films in the Girls und Panzer das Finale series have been released in Japan since 2017: Part 1 on December 9, 2017, Part 2 on June 15, 2019, Part 3 on March 26, 2021, and Part 4 on October 6, 2023. Dubbing for Part 5 began in August 2025. GTA 6 was delayed to November 19, 2026, citing additional polish.

Considerations

Girls und Panzer Part 5 has no confirmed specific release date within 2026—only a year window. GTA 6's November 19, 2026 date is firm and recent. Given the anime's production timeline and historical release patterns, Part 5 could plausibly release anywhere from early to late 2026, creating genuine uncertainty about which will come first.
