The following GTA was introduced in February, when Rockstar stated that growth of the unnamed recreation (which we’re calling GTA 6 for now) is “properly underway.” Rockstar dad or mum Take-Two stated precisely the identical factor at the moment—growth remains to be “properly underway”—and added that the sport goes to be actually good, too.
“With growth of the following entry within the Grand Theft Auto collection properly underway, the Rockstar Video games crew is set to as soon as once more set artistic benchmarks for the collection, our business, and for all leisure, simply because the label has completed with each considered one of their frontline releases,” stated Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick throughout at the moment’s monetary replace.
Again in February, Rockstar stated that its aim with GTA 6 was to “considerably transfer past” its earlier achievements. Take-Two’s remark about setting artistic benchmarks is a bit of bolder. At first I assumed, “Effectively, yeah, the GTA video games are clearly important cultural occasions,” however the extra I thought of it, the extra I questioned what a artistic benchmark was, and if GTA had actually ever set any “for all leisure.” It has set the artistic benchmark for doing a Man Ritchie-ish factor as an open world videogame, for certain.
It is in all probability not price overanalyzing, however that is all that was stated, I am afraid. The meager remark was maybe only a method 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 stated 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 frequently,” so after launch it could transfer again towards its pre-reeling-in scale. Even at launch, although, the publication says that GTA 6 will embrace extra inside places than any earlier GTA.
The Bloomberg report additionally describes a Rockstar that has develop into a greater, if not flawless, place to work in latest occasions—yow will discover the complete article right here (opens in new tab).
We do not know when GTA 6 might be out, however the two “properly underway” feedback a minimum of put it nearer to us than The Elder Scrolls 6, which was nonetheless in “pre-production” as of June.
