Rockstar has promised that its next game following GTA 6 won’t take as long to come out, although it failed to hint at what it might be.
GTA 6 finally launches in November, eight years after the release of its last game, Red Dead Redemption 2. In a new report by Bloomberg detailing the challenges Rockstar has faced during GTA 6’s development, company leadership said whatever’s next won’t take as long because the work done for GTA 6 provides a foundation for following it up faster.
“The engine, the tools and the team we’ve built during this project will allow us to do things more quickly,” Phil Hooker, co-head of development, said.
“I feel confident that we can build on top of this and go more sideways than upwards to build more compelling content.”
“We foundationally changed a lot of stuff on this project,” co-head of development Aaron Garbut added. “But now it’s done, and we’re not going to rip it apart.”
The question fans have is, what will Rockstar’s next game be? Bloomberg compares the release of GTA 6 to GTA 3, in that the first 3D GTA game paved the way for the quickfire release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which launched a year later in 2002. Could Rockstar soon follow GTA 6 with another GTA game, perhaps focused on another city?
Many hope and expect Rockstar to make Red Dead Redemption 3, although Rockstar itself hasn’t indicated it has plans to do so. A year ago, Rockstar Games co-founder and former lead writer Dan Houser said RDR3 “will probably happen.” In 2023, Roger Clark, who played Arthur Morgan, the main playable protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, said he was “certain” fans would see Red Dead Redemption 3 “one day,” but qualified that statement by saying he had no idea when that would be. Clark also ruled out the return of Arthur Morgan in the game, should it come to be. If you’ve played Red Dead Redemption 2, this might seem like stating the obvious, but there’s always the chance Rockstar may consider another prequel of some kind.
“I’m certain we will see Red Redemption 3 one day,” Clark said. “When that will be — I have absolutely no idea. Don’t count on Arthur’s involvement either. His story has been told, I feel.”
