GTA 6 Developer Rockstar's Next Game Won't Take Another 8 Years to Make, It Has Promised — but What Will It Be?

Rockstar leadership said the tools and engine built for GTA 6 will let the company develop its next game faster, Bloomberg reported.

  • Rockstar Games leadership stated that future projects will proceed more quickly following Grand Theft Auto 6's November 19 launch, as new engine and tools provide a foundation for faster production cycles.
  • The upcoming title follows an eight-year gap since Red Dead Redemption 2, with reports citing $200 million to $300 million spent on water effects and 39 months of labor on broken glass realism.
  • Phil Hooker, head of development, stated the team can build 'sideways' to create content faster, while Aaron Garbut, co-development boss, said the foundational changes mean 'we're not going to rip it apart.'
  • Rockstar's head of publishing Jennifer Kolbe remarked, 'Now you understand why it took so long,' after the studio opened a Los Angeles-based studio to create NPCs and developers visited Miami.
  • Reports suggest the studio wants to revive L.A. Noire, though Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser previously suggested a third Red Dead entry 'will probably happen' one day.
