It’s hard to believe but yes,GTA VIIhas already been officially acknowledged.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently spoke at the TD Cowen 52nd Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference where he was askedabout the future of the iconic Rockstar Games franchise.

“It is important to bear in mind that it’s not likeRockstarput outGTA Vand sat on their hands for 12 years, right? We launchedGTA Online.That’s turned into a massive, living, breathing ecosystem which continues to perform and grow to this day,” Zelnick said.
“So the label totally transformed from a label that made big, standalone, monolithic, games […] to a label that’s now in the live services business. I do think given the scale of that label, it’s a huge company itself, there isn’t much more to be done.”
It may only be a brief, and rather tongue-in-cheek, mention ofGTA VIIbut it’s enough to get fans talking about the next instalment - and they too are worried about how long it’ll take to create.

Joking aside though, there’s a lot to be taken away from Zelnick’s comment.
It’s a reminder that while, yes, Rockstar is perhaps most prominently known for its Grand Theft Auto franchise, it’s far from being a one game studio.
We’re yet to hear about howGTA Onlinewill evolve followingGTA VI’s launch, but surely there are big plans in the pipeline there.
There’s also therumoured PC portofRed Dead Redemptionon the way, and that’s not to mention top secret projects we don’t know about whether they be related to familiar or new IPs.
