While rumors and leaks about GTA 6 continue to happen, such as the alleged leak of its map, not only does Rockstar seem in no rush to show the game, but a well-known insider suggests that this it would be the last installment of the series. At least, as far as a traditional GTA is concerned.
Through an opinion article published in DualShockers, Tom Henderson, known for his information on GTA, Battlefield or Call of Duty, assures that GTA 6 could be the last installment of the series. Well, in a nutshell, Rockstar Games doesn’t need to release a new GTA title for the foreseeable future, ”Henderson says.
The reason is very clear, the success of GTA Online. With this Online aspect of GTA V that grows day by day in number of players, views on streaming platforms and, above all, with records of income every so often, «it is safe to say that there will be a great focus on the online GTA experience 6 once the title is launched ”, assures the insider.
As for how Rockstar intends to make GTA 6 a bigger success than GTA 5, Henderson again alludes to the rumors about a mapping that evolves over time. “Its evolving map will likely keep gamers interested in the title years after its initial release,” comments the insider. “A changing map will not only give players something new and exciting to see from time to time, it will also give Rockstar Games the opportunity to get more creative with the game’s story. I’m theorizing here now, but the opportunity for Rockstar to bring us a single-player story experience, but online, definitely pique my interest. ”
In either case, GTA 6 hasn’t even been officially announced yet, so still we will have to wait a few years to see it in stores. Henderson also recalls the pressure Rockstar creatives are under when working on one of the most anticipated games of the moment, a constant crunch that was widely criticized after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2.
