After years of rumors, Rockstar Games confirmed the existence of GTA VI last month. The title has been in development for a long time.
According to Michael Pachter the development of GTA VI began in earnest between 2014 and 2015. Clearly the development teams have been at work for at least six years. The reason for such a long development time would be due to the scale of the project. Rockstar Games would like to hit hard with GTA VI. The game is said to include locations from all previous games. Its content would be so important that it could offer at least 500 hours of play.
It is thus specified
“these guys work hard to create amazing content […] if I understood correctly, that it is a mixture of Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City (therefore GTA III), Europe and London. You’re going to be able to go anywhere on those continents and you’re going to have missions that take you to all of those places.”
GTA VI, nothing before 2024 see 2025
GTA VI is emerging as a very ambitious project. Some analysts have pointed out that Take-Two’s latest financial forecast hints at a potential release of GTA VI in fiscal year 2024.
Grand Theft Auto 6 aka GTA 6, nothing before 2025!?
In the meantime, we will have to wait before being able to enjoy a very first trailer. Note that this is not the first time that GTA VI has been announced as a “huge” game. The first report on this April 2020 date. At the time it was said that Rockstar was working “hard” on the next installment of its GTA series aka GTA 6. Its development teams would be at work since 2014 with significant resources available.
