Take-two Interactive hints that long-anticipated GTA 6 could release in 2024.

    Is anyone else finding themselves less excited for a GTA now that the Housers have both left Rockstar? I really worry the over the top satire of American culture by Scottish writers may be lost.

      Also: The world has become super toxic regarding basically everything mocked in GTA. I highly doubt GTA 6 will be even a bit like previous versions. It will end up as toned-down unironically "woke" cashgrab. To me, GTA ended with GTA V.

        Or we could just wait for the game to have actual trailers/gameplay or even wait untill it's released before we start saying the game is shit. We don't even know anything about it yet.

        GTA 6 will inevitably be labelled woke, but I don't think that'll be the issue. I just don't think GTA's humour works nowadays and needs to evolve. Even ignoring the childish poop and sex jokes, writing poignant satire in 2023 simply is a lot harder. I think ultimately Take-Two is just gonna play it safe, take no risks and the end product will be bland as a result. Just like the new Saints Row.

        Yeah, the fact that so many element of society have no sense of humour about themselves or the capability for self-deprecation anymore won't help.

        I don't imagine it will even be "woke", I imagine it will be bland and safe to avoid putting off any of the audience as it will have to recoup a huge development cost.

      I keep saying that there's not really anything left for this series to say or do... Unless they go to a whole new country or time period (RDR is this)

        Well, aside from the old 2D London expansion they've never gone prior to the 80s, a 70s game could be fun.

        Then again, it's not like the US hasn't had plenty to satarise since V came out in 2013, but as others have pointed out a lot of the groups wouldn't take it in good humour any more. It would either be described as a woke commie simulator or fash adjacent
