Hello gamers, I'm back with another post and this time it's about GTA VI release date updates and about the future of Rockstar Games. So buckle up for this ride and I'll begin.
GTA VI is a game majority of us have been waiting for, the game is so anticipated by gamers all around the world. Ever since GTA V came out players like me and you have been asking the same question as to when GTA VI could possibly come out. So far it's been six years and no official confirmation is out yet.
Although we have not got any official statements from them about the game, there has been several leaks from employees at the company and by other people as well. Some of them suggested stuff like a female protagonist and multiple cities.
Ever since the launch of the PS5, the hype behind GTA VI has been through the roof because of the speculation that it could be released with the PS5. So far we've seen a lot of leaks and possibilities and they all sound mouth watering for GTA fans.
On a completely different note, Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that there will no GTA movie in the future considering the fact that many other franchises have attempted this and most have failed.
It is good news for GTA fans as a movie about the game could play a huge part in the actual game and how it is then put into place. They also would not be getting complete creative control over the movie and it could turn into some bad nightmare because of that.
To quote Zelnick "Part of it is, if we were to do something like that, we'd want to have complete creative control to make sure we expressed it the way we wanted,". And he is exactly right, we don't want a person who doesn't know anything about GTA and it's story to make a movie on it.
To further to that he said "And that would mean we'd need to finance that motion picture. While we have the balance sheet to do it, we don't have the corporate expertise to do it. Only a handful of people inside Take-Two have ever worked in that business. I'm one of them. But that's not what we do for a living."
He is so right there by saying that they don't know how to make movies as none of them are part of that business and have no experience in that field. The franchise could be ruined with one small mistake and they are not willing to take the risk which is good.
He even went to focus and acknowledge the growth the franchise has had over the years by saying "You have the most valuable intellectual property ever created by mankind: Grand Theft Auto. We wholly own and control it. Are we ready going to let go of that and hope that someone, no matter how talented they are, will do a great job with that?"
If they were to make a movie, it would take time out of their schedule to work on it and many people won't be able to focus on the game and to make it good. That could effect the game entirely and take a turn for the bad.
There's one thing we can cross of possible things Take-Two could do in the future. There has been no official word about the actual game but Take-Two has confirmed that they have a very strong lineup for their biggest franchises.
Zelnick commented on it by highlighting the strength of their plans and telling investors:
"Looking ahead, Take-Two has the strongest development pipeline in its history, including sequels from our biggest franchises as well as exciting new IP."
"We are actively investing in emerging markets, platforms and business models, and are exceedingly well-positioned to capitalise on the positive trends in our industry and to generate growth and margin expansion over the long-term."
Another thing that has been going on is that Rockstar India is recruiting new staff members and that could possibly mean that they are working on GTA VI or at least it says that they are working on many games.
Rockstar India recruitment anager posted a message on LinkedIn saying that they would be doing a recruitment drive and that people could apply for the job by being present there and by taking part in the event.
The message on LinkedIn was like this:
"Rockstar India will be @IGDC 2019, Hyderabad : 22nd - 23rd November 2019. Please talk to us if you want to be a part of Rockstar Games. Email for more details."
Rockstar India was formed earlier this year when Rockstar acquired Dhruva Interactive which was an Indian based studio from Starbreeze for $7.9 million.
They already had over 350 employees before being acquired so it raises even more questions in everyone's minds. This isn't even the first time they are going on a job hunt.
I'm pretty sure that Rockstar India isn't leading the development of the game but they could be a part of it in some small way. Since they have so many branches all around the world it's unlikely that Rockstar India would lead their biggest franchise ever.
Some rumors of the game that have surfaced the internet in recent months are that it would possible for you to go to South America as part of some drug cartel missions.
One other rumor related to the game is that they don't want to release it under the administration of President Donald. J. Trump because of the amount of changes he is bringing to the country.
The GTA franchise has been made to be as realistic as possible which includes the world trends and all matters. Releasing it during his presidency would mean that the game's storyline won't in sync with the actual world for a long time.
What could all of this mean? I don't know and that goes for every single one of you who is reading this blog and all the people who are GTA fans. We can't confirm anything until either Rockstar or their parent company Take-Two confirms things about the release of the game.
With that, I'm ending this article and I'll surely be putting more articles related to this topic as soon as I see new rumors or updates. I'll definitely keep all of you in the loop.
I'm also going to be announcing a huge thing in the coming days as well so stay tuned for that. Until tomorrow or my next post, peace.
