Rockstar has decided to move all of its resources toward the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, and while the next entry in the franchise is highly anticipated, it has come at a cost with other anticipated sequels of its other IPs such as Bully 2 falling by the wayside. Considering Rockstar Games' releases over the years, it's easy to see how its portfolio seems to have shrunk down to only two major franchises: Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is "highly confident" on the GTA 6 Fall 2025 release window, and claims Rockstar is seeking perfection.
That's not good he told us he was seeking perfection just before the definitive edition dropped
its gonna be a crazy later half of a year whennit drops.
i think its a smart move to target fall, especially cause ppl stay in more frequently
No, what you're seeking is "perfect micro-trash-actions gameplay loop", that's all you care about, you sleazy douche.
Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that Rockstar Games' next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA VI, is set for release in Fall 2025.
bad = give it mo me NOW!! we can't wait another year.!!!!
good = I have another year to save up another £500 for a ps5pro
Not everyone lives in Merica or uses the term fall to describe Autumn, state the month.
That feels like forever away..I guess the GTA after that won't come out till 2035.
GB: "Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto is finally upon us, but amid the hype, there's some worry that it may not cater to everyone."
It's disappointing that this game won't be on PC. Would love to play this game in native 4K 60fps-120fps with raytracing
I think the main concern is the ramifications GTA+ will have on GTA6 Online. Fans are already divided about it. Not everyone wants to pay a monthly subscription fee (that has already seen a price increase) for a $70+ game on top of already having to pay for PS+/XBL.
I think a decade of hype will do that for even the best games. With that said, chill out, it’s going to be a great time regardless.
Bully 2 was cancelled in 2010. It had nothing to do with GTA V or VI.
Buly 2 we need it.
The newer generations couldn’t handle another bully. Look how toned down GTA is now. Didn’t they remove a bunch of things from the GTA remasters? Rockstar was a champion of outlandish free speech. They are as weak willed as the rest now.
I would argue that the potential for a quality follow up to Bully never existed. The first game, despite not having any of the controversial content that conservatives and concerned parents were clutching their pearls at, was a one off. It was created during the absolute height of Rockstar popularity thanks to creative direction from Dan Houser (remember how utterly amazing R* games were in the mid 00s?). R* has always maintained some degree of cultural relevance while conceptualizing their games.
We were lucky that GTA3 existed, but we were doubly lucky that there was a renaissance of Scarface and 80s nostalgia during that same period that made Vice City an immediate hit despite being released only 1 year later. People clamored for GTA6 for years, without realizing there wasn't a cultural shift big enough since 2013 to necessitate another round of biting social commentary taking the form of a GTA game. The same thing goes for Bully, although any new commentary around the state of bullying is going to be completely in bad taste.
With our current landscape of sextortion crime, child suicide, among other examples of extreme violence, I'm not sure there's a way to creatively have fun with that. You want noogies, wedgies, and spitballs? That's in the first game.
It might…
