'GTA 6' Release Date: Coming In 2020, Delay Becasue Of ‘Red Dead Redemption 2' Launch [Video]
Rockstar Games, the game developers of "Grand Theft Auto 6" are yet to announce any updates on the successor of the "GTA 5" game. Lack of information about the famous franchise led to spark may rumors regarding the release date of the "GTA 6."
According to Tech Radar, "GTA 6" release date will not be announced anytime soon since the game will not launch for the next four years at least. The publication also claims that the game developers are right now focused on the upcoming "Red Dead Redemption 2" which is slated for fall 2017 release.
The report also mentioned that another reason responsible for "GTA 6" release date delay could be "GTA Online," which is the multiplayer version of "GTA 5." If the developers are planning to include the same online component for "GTA 6," then would have to another three years' worth of put efforts before the gamers can get their hands on the next "Grand Theft Auto" update. The rumor has made the release of "GTA 6" not until 2020.
With "Red Dead Redemption 2" going on sale sometime in fall 2017, it's probable that the "Grand Theft Auto" series will be staying in the queue for just a while longer. "Grand Theft Auto 5," while already three years old by this time and is still receiving regular updates from Rockstar. The company is making multiplayer content drops through "GTA Online," that will hopefully tide "GTA" fans over until 2020.
The reasoning behind the 2020 release date for the "GTA 6" is the release of "Red Dead Redemption 2" time frame. Rockstar needed three years to follow up its GTA Online with its new western-themed title and it's reasonable to expect that the next "Grand Theft Auto" instalment could follow "RDR 2" in about three years.
"We don't know what GTA 6 will be, but we've got some ideas," Benzies claimed, as noted by Cinema Blend. The Rockstar Games exec has also revealed that they are working on the map and story component of the game.
For the release date of "GTA 6" Rockstar Games has not made any other announcement. However the "GTA" patrons should take all the updates and the releasedate rumors with a grain of salt, until it gets officially confirmed.
