There are fixed questions over whether or not GTA 6 can be delayed, however one former Rockstar dev thinks any announcement of a delay will not come till subsequent yr.
Earlier this month, some rumours began to unfold that GTA 6 had been delayed, however Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier (identified for his sturdy fame relating to insider info) says that that does not appear to be the case after talking with six staff at Rockstar – although he did additionally make it clear that these devs have not been knowledgeable of a delay, which means one may nonetheless be coming, however proper now it does not appear to be taking place. In fact, with all this speak of delays, it is nonetheless on the minds of a whole lot of gamers keen to leap into what might be essentially the most anticipated sequel of the last decade.
In flip, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij, who labored on a number of GTA titles together with GTA 3, 4, Vice Metropolis, and San Andreas, supplied his perspective on when information of a delay may come. “The choice to delay GTA 4 was made 4 months or so earlier than the unique launch date,” Vermeij explains of the beloved fourth sport within the sequence. “Any additional and it is laborious to make the decision. [Rockstar] might be not able to find out whether or not they’ll hit 2025 till Could-ish.”
Vermeij did additionally make the purpose that “GTA 6 will promote for 10+ years and there’s no competitors to fret about. They don’t seem to be going to launch the sport till they’re 100% proud of it. It doesn’t matter what it stated within the trailer.” He isn’t incorrect, GTA 5 is the second greatest promoting sport of all time, and with gaming being as in style as it’s now, one can solely think about that GTA 6 will take that spot over the subsequent 10 years. And only for readability’s sake, Vermeij did additionally say that he has “no inside data” and “did not speak to anybody”, so that you should not take his phrase as gospel.
The primary trailer for GTA 6 arrived final December, and we’ve not actually heard a lot about it since then. Vermeij additionally commented on the sport again in July, saying you most likely should not anticipate the sequel to be “wildly totally different” from its predecessor.
