Publisher Rockstar Games has confirmed that they are working on another title in the GTA series. This is the first official statement about the sequel. So far, however, the company has not released an exact release date or video for the game.

Rockstar Games recently posted a blog entry with current news. At the end of the post, the developer confirms that the next installment of the “Grand Theft Auto” series is currently under active development. In addition, the publisher released the statement in a tweet. Although GTA 6 is not explicitly mentioned, the continuation of the main series is likely to be launched under this name.

GTA 6 is coming

In its latest Grand Theft Auto community update the studio said:

“Given the unprecedented longevity of GTA V, we know that many of you have been asking us for a new installment in the Grand Theft Auto series. With every new project we tackle, our goal is always to go well beyond what we’ve delivered so far – and we’re pleased to confirm that active development is well underway for the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series. We look forward to revealing more when we’re ready, so please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official details.”

Announcement sends stock soaring

So far, however, Rockstar Games has not disclosed which studios are involved in the development. It can be assumed that several Rockstar divisions are involved. It also remains unclear when the game will see the light of day. Since no trailer for the game has been shown so far, the release could only take place in the next few years. Nevertheless, Take-Two’s share price rose by five percent after the announcement. In recent months, however, the share price has been anything but stable and characterized by swings.

Of course, the official announcement is not entirely unexpected. In the past few years, there had been repeated leaks about a new GTA part. More than 150 million copies of GTA 5 have been sold in the meantime, so a sequel was always considered likely. After the official confirmation, it is conceivable that many more details about the open-world action adventure will leak out in the coming months.

When is GTA 6 coming?

Industry expert Jason Schreier believes the unveiling will be later in 2022 and the release roughly two years later. He said, “Wouldn’t be shocked to see Grand Theft Auto VI announced later this year with a fake release date of “fall 2023″ that then slips to 2024.”
