![]() I’m totally fine with playing a new GTA years from now if it means the people who make it get to have proper personal lives. It doesn’t sound like everything Rockstar has tried to implement has necessarily worked the way they intended – particularly the changes to middle management – but it’s good to hear they’re at least making some efforts. The Bloomberg report makes for interesting reading in the wider context of crunch throughout the games industry. More recently, they also confirmed Red Dead Online won't be getting any more major updates, so the team can shift focus to the next GTA. Rockstar only confirmed this February that, yes, they’re actually working on the game everyone has referred to for yonks as GTA 6. A female protagonist would be a first for the nearly quarter of a century old series. As mentioned above, the game will reportedly star a Latina woman who’s part of a “Bonnie and Clyde” pair of robbers. The cultural clean-up operation has apparently influenced the next GTA’s development in other ways. While Rockstar had no official comment, one employee described them as “a boys’ club transformed into a real company”. Bloomberg's sources said that they didn’t know of a planned release date, and that they expected at least another two years of development.īloomberg spoke to more than 20 current and former Rockstar employees for their report into the company’s working culture. ![]() However, the scale of development is still the biggest the series has seen in some ways, with “more interior locations than previous Grand Theft Auto games” affecting Rockstar’s schedule. The report says this is a move by Rockstar management to reduce crunch towards the end of development. GTA 6 is now being worked on as a live-service model of sorts, with Rockstar intending to push out “new missions and cities on a regular basis” after launch. It’s nothing that Bloomberg's Jason Schreier hasn’t already intimated on Twitter before but, interestingly, shrinking the map down to the series' fictional Miami was apparently a compromise to try to improve Rockstar’s working culture. Well, the Bloomberg report corroborates this. In 2021, rumours were circulating that the next GTA would be set in a modern take on Vice City. Sources at Rockstar told Bloomberg that GTA 6 is codenamed Project Americas, because the game was originally intended to have a map that covered “territories modeled after large swaths of North and South America”. ![]() If Tommy and Mercedes' relationship went deeper than what was shown, it's possible that Lucia could be their previously unknown daughter.Watch on YouTube GTA Online's Criminal Enterprises update addresses some issues facing the real world right now. While the two of them never became an official couple during the game, a conversation that Tommy has with Juan at the end of the game implies that he and Mercedes at least remained in touch. Although not a major character, she had a flirtatious relationship with Tommy, who seemed to reciprocate, at least to a degree. Mercedes Cortez was the daughter of Tommy's friend, Juan Cortez, and played a role in a few of the game's missions. As fate would have it, one Vice City character that could return is not only Latina, she might be the best option for a love interest that Tommy may have had. Tommy is Italian, but Lucia is Latina, so in order for the theory to work, Lucia's mother would have to be Latina as well. Since the timeline allows the possibility of Tommy being Lucia's father, there is still another questing regarding her parentage that must be asked.
