Release Date and The Delay

Release dates have been pushed back from late 2016 to 2018 thanks to tiffs amidst the administration. A number of shots were fired when Leslie Benzies slammed Rock Star North with a number of lawsuits worth around $150 million.

His allegations included unlawful deception where he was left on the road by the Houses after denying him his share of profits. As of now, Benzies is back in position and is resuming his responsibilities. This caused a lot of diversion and chaos as far as game development and legal proceedings were concerned.

Most Expected Platform

Exploring the noir streets of New York on a sweet ride, accompanied by a real life experience will simply blow our minds and that is exactly what RockStar is aiming for this time!

Which Places Are on The Hot-List?

News from March 2016 shows us that, RockStar had failed to settle on a location till then. Dan and Sam Houser have confirmed that the location for GTA 6 will most definitely not be London as it poses serious challenges of rendering the maps with its meandering narrow lane.

However, the latest info however draws our attention to a recent interview given by DJ Whoo Kid on Ballerstatus makes it obvious that he has lent his voice to this upcoming RockStar production and that it will be based in New York. So people, get ready for a lot of new maps, amazing new roads, hordes of interesting characters and one hell of an exciting game!
