If it is GTA 6 that has caused this spike, this would suggest that a delay has occurred. Originally this spike was expected to take place in the fiscal year 2023, however, it's been pushed back to 2024. If this prediction is correct then we would expect to see GTA 6 release sometime between April 2023 and March 2024. In a note (opens in new tab) to investors, Cohen pointed out that previous marketing budgets have predicted the releases of other big releases from Take-Two Interactive, including Red Dead Redemption 2.

This led industry analyst Jeff Cohen to predict that this spike is because GTA 6 is expected to release within this period (which now looks likely). Take-Two's 10-K SEC filing (opens in new tab) from 2020 (which lays out financial plans for the next five years) shows that the company expects to spend $89 million on marketing between April 2023, and the end of March 2024 – that's a huge spike and more than half the marketing budget expected for any other fiscal year over the next decade Until now, our most solid GTA 6 release date hint came via the marketing budget of Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company. Given this extended development time, they reckon GTA 6 is still at least two years away from release, pinning the sequel to a 2024 launch.Īlthough only speculation, it tallies with other reports and leaks from the last couple of years. Very few of them suggest it'll be anytime soon.Īccording to a recent report by Bloomberg (opens in new tab), several current and former Rockstar employees suggest the developer has spent a long time figuring out exactly what the next Grant Theft Auto will look like. But there have been plenty of reports and rumors that could hint at when we'll get our hands on Grand Theft Auto 6. As long as Rockstar continues to innovate and bring us something fresh with every game, whereever we decide to play next should be good.While Rockstar Games has finally announced it's working on GTA 6, it’s kept release details tightly under wraps. There are still plenty of places to explore, and cities to look at. At the same time though, there is no real reason for the game to leave the shores of the United States either. The American dream has seemed to spread across the globe at this point anyway. While the games have followed the satirical “ Americana” themes, there is no reason why we need to stay within the U.S. While it’s fine to expand, or come back to the same locations every once in awhile, it may be time for something new. They do need to start adding some new locations to their games though.

No matter where Rockstar plans to take us next, surely it is going to be a good experience. We’d more likely to see something like this in Assassin’s Creed, but it may be an exciting location to play through for the GTA 6 as well. At any rate, it would certainly make for a great location that most games simply haven’t even bothered to explore at all. There could be ancient, Egyptian carvings depicting alien abduction and lost mummies. Cairo literally has new building built on top of old ones too, so there is plenty of underground exploration that the player could do, and it would be a perfect location for Rockstar to keep up their conspiracy theories from the previous games with aliens. Now this would be awesome! First of all it’s an ancient city that has a mixture of new and old, historical architecture and secondly, Pyramids! Imagine driving a dirt bike up one of those, and making a helicopter crash into one.
