A T2 representative has since told Gamesindustry Biz that the marketing spike is related to third-party companies, not an internal studio like Rockstar. The newest round of rumors about GTA 6's release date, backed by multiple journalists, suggests that a launch is probably premature. These guesses suggest that a or launch is more likely. Part of what might be pushing GTA 6 into further off years is Rockstar's efforts to combat crunch culture which has plagued its past launches, notably towards the end of development on Red Dead Redemption 2.
It seems that we certainly have several years of waiting still before GTA 6 arrives, especially for us PC players. It's a pretty solid bet. It's hard to believe the studio would release its own games launcher if it didn't plan on hosting its future games there, including an assumed GTA 6.
Beyond a release date, the most important thing we want to know is where and when GTA 6 will be set.
Everything flows from Rockstar's choice of city and decade. It comes from the idea first. Where it is going to be set is the first question. The map and story get worked up together, and the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the mission in. This could easily have been a technical test, or perhaps a scene from some scrapped singleplayer DLC, but Rockstar once talked about putting all of their cities into one mega-game.
Now, there's another option here - 2K, which publishes the Grand Theft Auto series, recently updated its fiscal plans to allow for a much-increased spend on marketing in , some time off for now. In fact, it expects to spend double what it has planned for and That's fuelled speculation that it expects to be marketing the next GTA game in , and will be spending big bucks on it. We also had even more fuel poured onto the fire by a report from Jason Schreier over at Kotaku , looking as he had before at the work culture at Rockstar, which is famously demanding.
The report mentions that according to his sources the next Grand Theft Auto is indeed in the works, but remained at an early stage of development. Recently, eager fans also spotted that Rockstar had added a new blog post to its news section that isn't currently live - post They're hopeful that this means some sort of announcement post is being built at that address.
For our money that's insanely optimistic, but at this stage you can't blame anyone for getting their hopes up! Finally, it's been spotted that Rockstar is in a hiring phase for game testers, something often associated with the final stages of a game's development. While this could point toward GTA 6 being at an advanced stage, it could of course also be simply required for other projects Rockstar has cooking, like GTA 5's next-gen version.
All this adds up to the same picture, roughly - the next GTA is definitely on the way, but you shouldn't get your hopes raised too high that it'll appear soon. Probably the other key detail contained in that first big leak around GTA 6 concerned the platforms it's likely to release on.
Obviously, GTA 5 came out toward the tail end of a console generation, releasing on the PS3 and Xbox , then being re-released with better performance and graphics on the next set of consoles. Apparently, that pattern won't be repeated with GTA 6, though.
Given that those consoles will have been out for at least a couple of years upon release, that's entirely credible. Waiting for details on a new GTA game generally involves one major area of speculation - where will it be set? While characters and storylines are just as subject to interesting details, there's something about GTA's setting that feels like the most pivotal choice Rockstar has to make.
Whether it's Liberty City, Los Santos or another metropolitan area, the playground in which players will run riot is a big question mark hanging over the game. The earlier Fireden leak though said it would feature four main characters - two police and two gang members.
That leak states that the main storyline splits after a while, with the criminal side having a sort of a sandbox build-a-crime-empire think Fallout 4 meets the Sims , while the police side is more of a traditional action game with a little twist of LA Noire. The latest leaks, from June , state that the modern-day Vice City version would feature multiple playable protagonists, including a "tech-savvy woman", with the game's map growing and changing over time - a la Fortnite.
Schreier has since corroborated almost all of those claims, saying on Twitter via Resetera. Interestingly, Rockstar itself hasn't ruled out the use of multiple protagonists for future endeavors - mimicking the GTA 5 trio. Speaking after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, which has only one playable character in Arthur Morgan, Rockstar told jeuxactu.
It comes from the idea first. Where it is going to be set is the first question. The map and story get worked up together, and the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the mission in. However, whether a GTA 6 PC port will be released at the same time as its console counterparts isn't quite as straightforward.
It may not have a simultaneous launch, but that extra bit of polish and development time has paid off so far, so hopefully PC fans are willing to wait a little bit again. Where will GTA 6 be set?
