Briefings
A Bloomberg report by Phil Hooker suggests Rockstar Games could shorten the development cycle for GTA VI, potentially ending the 13-year gap between the game and GTA V. The article notes a one-year gap between GTA III and Vice City, implying existing frameworks might accelerate future projects. However, the report does not confirm the timeline reduction or provide specific dates for the new release.
Key points
- Rockstar technical lead Phil Hooker stated that the engine and team tools built during the GTA VI project will allow for faster development compared to previous iterations.
- The report highlights a one-year gap between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was possible due to pre-existing framework capabilities.
Context and limitations
The article does not confirm if the new GTA VI release will be released within the previously anticipated 13-year window. Specific dates for the next installment are not provided, and the report does not offer a definitive timeline for the upcoming game.
