Leaked insights reveal the extensive development timeline of Grand Theft Auto 6 and hint at two unreleased Bully sequels.
The gaming community has been buzzing with anticipation for “Grand Theft Auto 6”, and recent leaks have shed light on just how long Rockstar has been crafting this next installment. According to the leaked information, the development of GTA 6 began as early as 2015, marking nearly a decade of work on the game. This revelation came from the LinkedIn profile of Jon Young, a former Rockstar research video editor, who mentioned his involvement with the game from 2015 to 2018.
Rockstar’s commitment to delivering top-notch gaming experiences is evident in their extended development cycles. For instance, GTA 5 began its development journey in 2008, shortly after the release of GTA 4. Similarly, GTA 4’s pre-production kicked off right after the launch of GTA San Andreas in 2004.
Another intriguing tidbit from Young’s profile is the mention of two Bully sequels. While the gaming community is aware of the once-in-development and later canceled “Bully 2”, this is the first hint of a potential “Bully 3”. Young’s role at Rockstar, which revolved around internal journalism and location shoots, suggests he was privy to early stages of game development.
The wait for GTA 6 might be drawing to a close, with rumors pointing to a possible release during the 2024 holiday season. As the gaming world eagerly awaits official announcements, these leaks offer a tantalizing glimpse into Rockstar’s behind-the-scenes efforts.
