Following on from Rockstar Games finally confirming thatGTA 6is currently in"active development"comes an exciting new official statement from the Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two.

That’s because in the firm’s just releasedfinancial update, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, not only reveals that “the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series [is] well underway”, but also that the “Rockstar Games team is determined to once again set creative benchmarks for the series, our industry, and for all entertainment”.

Simply put, that information should have gamers the world oververyexcited. GTA V has been so stupendously popular that, to date, it has sold nearly 170millioncopies, so if Rockstar is about to set a new higher benchmark in terms of quality, we could be looking at not just the best game of all time, but the best piece of media entertainment that’s ever been made.

Of course, these bullish statements from Zelnick are to be expected, though – after all, the publisher of the game is hardly going to downplay its quality and potential impact. As such, a little pinch of salt and not getting too carried away seems smart at this juncture. But despite a reportedtroubled development, who would really bet against Rockstar delivering a new “creative benchmark” with GTA 6?

GTA 6 Take-Two statement opinion: the timing is more important

After all, there had been rumors that the game had been so troubled in development that the team wastearing everything up and starting again, even if more recent rumors have pointed tothat being false.

More recent GTA 6 release date rumors have the gamelaunching in 2024, which feels right for a game that has been in “active development” for years and is destined for launch on the next-genPS5andXbox Series Xconsoles.
