While we are still waiting for a new trailer and new information on GTA 6, journalist Jason Schreier revealed some information on the Rockstar title, particularly around its development and influence.
A laborious development
11 years after the last GTA, which have passed more than 200 million copiesthe anticipation surrounding the release of GTA VI is second to none. While we are still waiting for news of an upcoming trailer, the famous Jason Schreier, specialized in the world of video gamespublished an article on the media Bloomberg. While we did not know the exact duration of development of the next part of Rockstar Games, the journalist confirms that the project started more than ten years agoa year after the release of GTA V. However, it was not until 2018, after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, the developers went into it full time.
We also learn that the design of the game was of such magnitude that employees initially worked a lot of overtime. However, this led to a deleterious climate, and Rockstar took the decision to lay off several of its executives and reduce hoursin order to create a healthier atmosphere. But the hack of 2022 (which had caused a leak of 90 clips from the game), pushed the studio to ban teleworking, in order to strengthen their security.
L’ouragan GTA
Named by many the most anticipated game of the decadeGTA 6 is shaping up to be a real storm in the world of video games. Indeed, Jason Schreier also tells us that many publishers await confirmation of the release date for GTA (fall 2025 for now). They fear releasing a game at the same time, which will be completely buried by the Rockstar giant : a more than certain hypothesis.
For the moment little information is available on the game, apart from that we will play one of two characters that look like Bonnie & Clyde, in a Miami setting. We nevertheless learn that the publisher would have asked the authors of the game to be less vulgar towards minorities. Also, online mode should be very prominent, like that of GTA V, which ensured its longevity. Despite the fact that the development would have missed many deadlinesTake-Two (the parent company of Rockstar Games) assures that it should not no delay.
