    They finished GTA V release in 2015, released Red Dead Redemption II in 2018, and this will be 2025

    Sounds like continuous development to me?

      It’s 10 fucking years. GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas were all less than a couple years apart. They need to reuse that strategy of working in parallel and reusing the game engine for a few sequels before moving to the next generation.

      I’m confident they would’ve released more games if GTA Online wasn’t such a money printer for them. For those of us that liked the single player though and didn’t touch online, it’s been a while!

        Games were way lower fidelity and quicker to make back then, bro. It’s nowhere near the same thing.

          It took billions of years to make pacman and 14 years to make pacman 2. They should be able able to make GTA 6 in a week. GTA 7 should come out before Christmas.

        It’s 10 years since last GTA. In the middle there is a little game known as Red Dead Redemption 2, which is massive and took the whole studio to make.

          Yeah I played that one. Also pretty great. Hope they build another one soon. It’s already been 5 years.
