The next GTA was announced in February, when Rockstar said that development of the unnamed game (which we're calling GTA 6 for now) is "well underway." Rockstar parent Take-Two said exactly the same thing today—development is still "well underway"—and added that the game is going to be really good, too.

"With development of the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series well underway, the Rockstar Games team is determined to once again set creative benchmarks for the series, our industry, and for all entertainment, just as the label has done with every one of their frontline releases," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick during today's financial update.

following the recent Bloomberg report which claimed to have a few details about GTA 6, namely that it will include a female protagonist and take place in a fictionalized Miami. Rockstar hasn't confirmed or denied the accuracy of that report.

Bloomberg also said that GTA 6's scope had to be "reeled in" at some point, but that it'll be updated with "new missions and cities on a regular basis," so after release it may move back toward its pre-reeling-in scale. Even at launch, though, the publication says that GTA 6 will include more interior locations than any previous GTA.

The Bloomberg report also describes a Rockstar that has become a better, if not flawless, place to work in recent times—you can find the full article here.

I wonder what heavy handed political angle they'll go with this time.

GTA stories just need to be fun crime capers, not some earth shattering creative endeavour. This does give me hope that there will be actual innovation in this game, but I have been hurt before.

"The next Naughty Dog game will also be really good" - Neil Druckmann.

I think people are worried unnecessarily. You really think Rockstar is going to go GTA 5 to Red Dead Redemption 2 to Shit in one game?

Good to see the fart sniffing is well underway. Oscar worthy scripts and what not. So we can expect another game that tries too hard to be a movie while ignoring trying to make the actual game itself fun.
 
GTA V did this as well, I have no doubts that they will go where no other games have gone before. But what I am doubting is their ability to make GTA great again

Can Rockstar North deliver is the real question
 
I think I'll just rather go back gta iv than bother with this garbage. If they removed trans jokes off the last gta v release, I can only imagine the garbage they will do to this one.
 
At no point in time are they trying to set any creative bar because creativity typically requires sacrifice from the norm. What we're going to get is a very similar experience to GTA 5 that will visually look how the upgraded version of GTA 5 currently looks with new writing and a centralized focus on whatever the fuck gets the most out of micro transactions.

There will be a single player story with creative and comical writing. There will be an Online experience that is awful.

I just described GTA 5 and RDR2 which has been what Rockstar is for nearly a decade. You should know what you're getting, everything else is Cyberpunk-Hype

Starting damage control early.

Rockstar has never been this vocal and has always been quiet, letting the trailers and games do the talking.

It's very obvious GTA 6 has suffered a troubled development and they are not 100% happy with the way it has turned out. Preemptive damage control to generate manufactured hype.

I do like what they are implying with this bit:

GTA 6's scope had to be "reeled in" at some point, but that it'll be updated with "new missions and cities on a regular basis," so after release it may move back toward its pre-reeling-in scale.

To me, that reads as large DLC expansions planned. As long as its offline content and the base content feels 'complete', I am all for it. Would have loved more missions and territories in RDR2. GoT I thought did it right with the Iki Island expansion and would love to see that happen with GTA6.

I just dont want a replication of GTA Online, and it being the sole 'end game' content option.
