“Mike is an accomplished writer who spent over 16 years working for Rockstar Games as a creative lead on some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful video game franchises of all time, most notably Grand Theft Auto andRed Dead Redemption. He has a deep understanding of interactive storytelling, character development and open world game design and extensive experience building and managing creative teams."
If that doesn’t convince you that Unsworth has left the building, the fact that it now says that they were the vice president writer from 2021 to 2023 will seal the deal. Naturally, fans are spiralling, worried thatGTAVIwill be delayed even longer – as if we could handle any more delays! On the flip side of this, other fans believe that Unsworth’s departure will have little to no effect, seeing as how there’s been little noise made about him leaving in the first place.
Although it’s sad to see a veteran writer leave Rockstar, it would appear thatGTA VIis still on track to launch in 2025. If that changes, you know we’ll be among the first to let you know, just try not to panic if that happens… please.
