The following GTA was introduced in February, when Rockstar mentioned that growth of the unnamed recreation (which we’re calling GTA 6 for now) is “nicely underway.” Rockstar father or mother Take-Two mentioned precisely the identical factor at this time—growth continues to be “nicely underway”—and added that the sport goes to be actually good, too.
“With growth of the subsequent entry within the Grand Theft Auto sequence nicely underway, the Rockstar Video games workforce is set to as soon as once more set inventive benchmarks for the sequence, our trade, and for all leisure, simply because the label has executed with each considered one of their frontline releases,” mentioned Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick throughout at this time’s monetary replace.
Again in February, Rockstar mentioned that its objective with GTA 6 was to “considerably transfer past” its earlier achievements. Take-Two’s remark about setting inventive benchmarks is a little bit bolder. At first I believed, “Nicely, yeah, the GTA video games are clearly important cultural occasions,” however the extra I thought-about it, the extra I puzzled what a inventive benchmark was, and if GTA had actually ever set any “for all leisure.” It has set the inventive benchmark for doing a Man Ritchie-ish factor as an open world videogame, for certain.
It is most likely not price overanalyzing, however that is all that was mentioned, I am afraid. The meager remark was maybe only a technique to preempt questions and settle issues down following the latest Bloomberg report which claimed to have a number of particulars about GTA 6, particularly that it’s going to embrace a feminine protagonist and happen in a fictionalized Miami. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed or denied the accuracy of that report.
Bloomberg additionally mentioned that GTA 6’s scope needed to be “reeled in” sooner or later, however that it will be up to date with “new missions and cities regularly,” so after launch it might transfer again towards its pre-reeling-in scale. Even at launch, although, the publication says that GTA 6 will embrace extra inside areas than any earlier GTA.
The Bloomberg report additionally describes a Rockstar that has turn into a greater, if not flawless, place to work in latest instances—yow will discover the total article right here (opens in new tab).
We do not know when GTA 6 shall be out, however the two “nicely underway” feedback a minimum of put it nearer to us than The Elder Scrolls 6, which was nonetheless in “pre-production” as of June.
