GRAND THEFT AUTO 6 IN DEVELOPEMENT
GRAND THEFT AUTO 6 IN DEVELOPEMENT ACCORDING TO TECHRADAR SOURCES
Techradar reports the developer made the trip to Japan in order to scout it as a potential setting for a new game. This was around the time of GTA 3 and Vice City. Unfortunately, the plan fell through thanks to the structure of Tokyo streets.
Techradar source further says that GTA 6 is currently in development. That's no surprise given that Grand Theft Auto 5 was released more than two years ago, and Rockstar was open about it years ago. Though they added that no setting for the game has yet been nailed down.
It's not unusual that Rockstar would begin laying the early foundations for its next Grand Theft Auto so soon - It's been more than two years since the initial release of GTA 5.
Techradar source has also revealed that preliminary work has begun on Grand Theft Auto 6, but said a location had not yet been settled on.
As for the more immediate future, there's a lot of speculation that next Red Dead game will be revealed this year, but there's a big question over where it could be the first to use a new Rockstar engine. In 2012 Rockstar put out a job advert for a position working on engine development for next-gen systems.
"This is an exciting opportunity to develop cutting-edge architectures and high performance systems for current and next-gen platforms," it read, hinting that a new engine might be in the works. Even if Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't use it, there's a very good chance that GTA 6 will.
