In short, there’s enough money coming in from other Take-Two titles that it’s not a completely insane proposition for Rockstar North to reboot GTA 6 if it has to.Īs for GTA 6 reportedly being labeled as Rockstar’s most chaotic project yet, it’s unlikely there’s any triple-A game developer that hasn’t experienced a certain level of chaos over the past year and a half. NBA 2K in particular is a money-making machine with yearly installments and continual cash flow to keep the expectations of investors in check. Not only will games like GTA Online, GTA 5, and the newly announced Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy keep Take-Two solvent for many months to come, but let’s also not forget the additional help from 2K Games, 2K Sports, and Private Division too. CD Projekt REDĪt Take-Two, however, the situation is far different. In effect, the studio could only delay Cyberpunk so many times before word from investors indirectly forced it through the pipeline.Ĭyberpunk 2077 was rushed due to investor pressure, but that probably won’t happen with GTA 6. Unlike Take Two which is bolstered by multiple other developers, CDPR is a single publicly traded entity that told its developers its singular game product would arrive at a specific time. Consider, for example, the opposing situation with regard to CD Projekt RED and Cyberpunk 2077.
As much as Rockstar is the crown jewel of the Take-Two publisher portfolio, the company isn’t exactly in a situation where GTA 6 needs to come out in the immediate future.
Outside the brass tacks of translation foibles, though, it’s also important to consider the privileged position Rockstar is in as a studio that might impact its corporate decision-making. That could be happening to some degree here. As the internet connects people globally, it’s all too often that statements made halfway across the world are taken out of context. While we’re taking the original poster at their word for now, there may be discrepancies that change how these details sound in English. For one, while Klippel’s precise words may be correct, they’re also being filtered through a forum member’s translation that hasn’t been officially verified. That all sounds like terrible news if true, but, despite Klippel’s accurate track record, we’d implore readers to consider the wider context from which these alleged leaks come. Given this lack of direction, it’s said that GTA 6 is being discussed internally as Rockstar’s most chaotic project yet. While GTA 6 was originally slated to be announced last year, its narrative has allegedly changed so many times that it’s unclear precisely when the game will be ready to show. The translations, sourced by NeoGAF, suggest GTA 6 has essentially been rebooted since Dan Houser’s departure from Rockstar in early 2020, with several major story changes happening prior to that controversial executive shakeup.
Rockstar GamesĪccording to translated statements made on recent episodes of his podcast, Klippel had some shocking info to share about Rockstar’s upcoming project. Take-Two will still make plenty of money from Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy in the fall of 2021.
