Fans continue to wait for updates on the release of the hotly anticipated sequel of "Grand Theft Auto 5." So far, Rockstar Games has been silent regarding the fate of the next game in the franchise, "GTA 6." However, latest reports suggest that fans might not need to look forward to the sequel's release as the developer has already cancelled the game.
Rumors about "GTA 6's" cancellation are making the rounds - and it's something fans are not happy about. Neurogadget reported that Rockstar Games has scrapped the plans to release the next installment to give more focus to the current game's expansion or DLCs. Fans have been clamoring for the next game to arrive, but major game events this year have passed and still no word from the developer. This led to speculations that "GTA 6" has been abandoned.
However, contrary to the latest rumor, it appears that "GTA 6" has not been cancelled entirely - it has just been put to the sidelines as "GTA 5" and its multiplayer game "Grand Theft Auto Online" are still hot these days. New content for the current game, titled "Biker" DLC, is set to release this week. It was also speculated that the delay of "GTA 6" is caused by the developer's plan to make the game compatible with superior gaming technology, like Virtual Reality in particular.
While reports of the game being cancelled are starting to be of a concern to fans, it should be noted that there is hope for "GTA 6's" development. Since Rockstar is considered pretty much done with "Bikers" DLC, it is assumed that plans for the next "GTA" installment will start soon. Reports even have it that the game should be ready by 2018.
As of the moment, it's hard to be certain what Rockstar plans for "GTA 6." Fans are reminded to take the unconfirmed reports with a grain of salt and stay tuned for more updates.
