GTA 6 Production Reportedly Falling Behind, Rockstar Urges Staff To Return To Office To Avoid Delay

The open-world sequel is set to launch next year, but leadership is worried it could get delayed until 2026
Really hope it doesn't get delayed but also wish for both the staff not to have mental health issues or us to get another unpolished game released to us.
I mean, we've waited 36 years since the last one, I'm totally fine with waiting a bit longer to avoid stress on the devs.
I'm not waiting. I was a fan since GTA 2, I didn't even bother finishing 5. This is going to be the last step in the genericisation of GTA.
Every fucking game is open world, the tone is less funny compared to what it was before, too many creators left, and the ones that are still there are too out of touch. Fuck it.
Yeah, I'll get it if reviews look good, but I'm not bullish on that.
I had to force myself to finish GTA V because I kept coming back hoping there was more to it since everyone kept saying how good it was. Once I finished it, I felt relieved because I'd no longer have that nagging FOMO and finally uninstalled it. I haven't had the desire to play since, and it's my least favorite GTA. I actually played GTA IV after GTA V as a palette freshener, and GTA SA is still my favorite.
So if they're making something more like V than IV and SA, I'm probably not going to bother. I hope it's unlike any of them and goes in an interesting new direction, but I'm not holding out hope.
Honestly, I agree. I'll probably still play it, though.
GTA is one of those few series that so far have actually been worth the AAA pricetag to me (also going back to GTA2), but I definitely see the potential for failure here. Going to wait a bit after release and watch the reviews before springing for it.

here's the worst thing, it's not going to fail. They're going to make fucking GTA 10 3 decades from now for Sam houser's retirement, and it's going to make a trillion dollars.
The fucking identity and spirit is gone. It's just a generic crime drama game. Good enough for the people that like films about organised crime, which is enough money to make a fuckload of money. But it's just hollow.
Oh I have no doubt it will be a financial success - I just meant as it pertains to my enjoyment.
I'm also totally fine with them releasing a game without the spirit of the previous games. Those games still exist. I just might not buy the new one, that's all.
Totally fair. I'll play it if it's good. Still doesn't justify harsh crunch time or draconian RTO mandates...
