The Grand Theft Auto series is one of, if not the biggest property in the video game industry and fans are desperate for new information on its next entry.
Back in February 2022, Rockstar Games announced thatit was working onGTA VI. Unfortunately, since that time, we’ve heard no further official details from its developer, which is worrying fans so much, thatthey fear deathbefore the game is released.
Check out our gossip roundup video of GTA VI below!
Since that official announcement, we’ve had to make do with rumours, gossip and of course thoseearly gameplay leakswhich looked to be taken from a very early build ofGTA VI. That being said in respect to the many rumours, I’m a believer in no smoke without fire, so aside from the gameplay leaks, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the other rumours prove to be true.

Still, even if those rumours are true, we should take them with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise. That being said, now thatGTA VIwas announced some while ago, surely it’s about timeRockstar Gamesgave us some juicy new details such as a release date and gameplay trailer, right?
Recently, rumours were making the rounds thatGTA VImay have been indevelopment for around ten yearsand it’s been claimed that the project may have been rebooted at least once. Well, according to a former developer, rumours of a reboot may have been confirmed.

According to the LinkedInprofile of Jon Young, a former developer at Rockstar Games, he claims to have worked onGTA VIfrom 2015 to 2018 as a lead video editor, seemingly confirming that the game was in development around two years after the release ofGTA Von PS3 and Xbox 360, and four years prior to the official announcement ofGTA VI.
In September 2022, Rockstar Games leaker of information Tez2claimed thatGTA VIwas rebootedaround the time ofRed Dead Redemption 2’slaunch in 2018. If true, this 2018 date falls in line with the LinkedIn profile of Jon Young who was working on the game up until 2018. Keeping in mind that Rockstar Games never actually confirmedGTA VI’sdevelopment until 2022. So it’s looking increasingly likely thatGTA VImay have started development not for the first time at around Rockstar Games’ announcement last year.
It is believed thatGrand Theft Auto VIwill be released for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, leaving last-gen consoles behind.
