- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says future GTA releases will be produced more efficiently.
- In other words, GTA 7 is expected to be developed with much greater velocity. It will likely take less than 13 years.
- Senior Rockstar developers have previously shared the same idea regarding the development of future GTA content.
It’s hard to believe GTA 6’s launch is finally right around the corner, as we’ve had to wait for over a decade for Rockstar’s next magnum opus. The game was delayed multiple times over the years to ensure it achieved the highest standard of quality the studio is known for.
Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick now claims in a new interview that the company’s future offerings, including content for the GTA franchise, will be developed with greater velocity and efficiency over the next decade.
So the next GTA release is expected to have a much shorter development cycle than GTA 6’s 13 years.
Why it matters: The Take-Two CEO previously acknowledged GTA 6 had a really long development cycle, as many new foundations had to be built to meet the game’s scale. Senior Rockstar developers believe those systems will speed up the development of future GTA content.
In an interview with IGN, a recent Bloomberg interview featuring senior Rockstar developers was brought up to Strauss Zelnick. They explained that the foundation for future Rockstar releases was already laid following GTA 6.
The company boss agreed with the details and claimed development cycles for future GTA content will indeed look drastically different.
We do think that the nature and velocity of the content we’ll see from our iconic franchises, including GTA, will look dramatically different over the next decade.
-Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick.
Despite faster speed, future Take-Two offerings will still be developed to meet the company’s standards. Take-Two will also attempt to reach players in new ways and places to expand engagement.
Although not a straight confirmation, it’s not too far-fetched to believe GTA 7 will take less than 13 years to make, given the advancements in technology for GTA 6’s development.
On a side note, the GTA 6 launch is expected to cause millions in losses worldwide as many gamers plan to take days off to enjoy the open-world experience.
