GTA 6 release: Take-Two shuts down rumors of new GTA game in 2020 Rockstar GamesTake-Two Interactive, the publisher of Rockstar\u2019s Grand Theft Auto series, has all but confirmed that GTA 6 is at least more than a year away, during the company\u2019s earnings call on May 20. The last Grand Theft Auto game, number five, released in 2013, so fans are understandably eager for the next game in the franchise. Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, leaving the space clear for their next game to be a return to GTA. There have been countless leaks, from somewhat reliable leakers, that GTA 6 is deep in development. One source even suggested as much as 70% of the work is complete for the project, while other reports have claimed it is still in the very early stages. There\u2019s been almost no word from Rockstar or Take-Two themselves though, so their quarterly earnings call was the chance to hear the latest, straight from the horse\u2019s mouth. In addition to the announcement that GTA V had sold over 130 million copies (not including the free versions given away on Epic Games), the publisher had some bad news for fans waiting on the next title. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the upcoming year, between April 2020 and March 2021 would be \u201clight\u201d for new releases, with updates coming for GTA Online and Red Dead Online in the meantime. https:\/\/twitter.com\/GTA6228\/status\/1263234258975494144 In a previous earnings call, Take-Two said they had released in some of their biggest franchises coming, but there wasn\u2019t any timeframe on them. Also, this could include franchises from other developers under the Take-Two umbrella, not just Rockstar. Considering there was a five-year gap between GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, it\u2019s possible we could be looking at a similar timeframe for the next Grand Theft Auto. This would give us a release year of 2023. Of course, dedicated fans of the franchise will be hoping it\u2019s not this far away, but comments from Zelnick certainly indicate we won\u2019t be playing GTA 6 this Holiday season, at least. Light release year for Take Two according to the conference call, new updates expected for RDO and GTAO this year. So I guess that means the “”R* x City Morgue”” thing from Instagram is most likely gonna be yet another radio update for V\/Online. Which is what I figured it’d be. https:\/\/t.co\/gXxQeGtND4 pic.twitter.com\/lpEijJ71SO \u2014 Badger G. \ud83e\udda1 (@BadgerGoodger) May 20, 2020 Rockstar\u2019s lack of urgency to release a new version could partly be down to the success of GTA Online. It continues to pull in a large player base, and is something of a cash cow for the developer. Similarly, Red Dead Online hit a player peak in December 2019, a year after the game itself released. With GTA 5 still selling 10 million copies in a single quarter, there\u2019s no pressure on the studio to rush out another entry in the series. They\u2019ll also be well aware that the longer they take to release a new GTA, the higher expectations and hype will rise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
