Rockstar Games might not keep fans waiting as long for the next installment of Grand Theft Auto. As part of Bloomberg’s expansive report on the making of GTA VI, Rockstar technical lead Phil Hooker said that the “engine, the tools and the team we’ve built during this project will allow us to do things more quickly.”
GTA VI had a notoriously long development process. It took eight years to make, leaving a 13-year gap between this upcoming installment and GTA V.
The report points to the one-year gap between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was possible because Rockstar already had the framework in place for its next project. “I feel confident that we can build on top of this [GTA VI] and go more sideways than upwards to build more compelling content,” Hooker told Bloomberg.
There were several other interesting details in the report as well, including:
GTA VI launches on November 19th on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S.
