After GTA V, which was released in 2013, the expectation of a new GTA game, which lasted for years, left its place to a happy wait with the statement made in February. Rockstar shared with the whole world that he was working on a new GTA game. Although it is not yet known when the game will be released, important news about GTA 6 came from Rockstar today.
In its new announcement, Rockstar made a statement that may upset Red Dead Online players a bit, but will give hope to everyone waiting for GTA 6. The company announced that it directed the resource allocated for Red Dead Online to the new GTA game. Moreover, the statement included a statement that this had been done for ‘several years’. Rockstar’s statement was as follows:
Rocktar’s description of GTA 6:
“Over the past few years, we’ve been continually pouring more development resources towards the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, understanding more than ever of the need to exceed gamers’ expectations and making the next entry the best it can be, and as a result, the way we support Red Dead Online. We are in the process of making some changes.”
Although Red Dead Online is not as popular as GTA Online, it continues to have a loyal player base. Rockstar made the last major update to this player base in July of last year, exactly one year ago. This caused many players to already have the perception that ‘Rockstar is killing Red Dead Online’.
In the new announcement shared by Rockstar, the company stated that there will be periodic special events and experience improvements to Red Dead Online in the coming period. In addition, he stated that existing modes will be developed and new Telegram tasks will be added. However, it has made it clear that major updates will no longer be made as in previous years.
