Grand Theft Auto VI Mission Design Will Give Players Freedom; Rockstar Has “Raised the Bar Again”

With Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games has raised the bar again in terms of realism and NPC behavior while offering players more freedom than before, according to a former developer of the game.

Speaking With GTAVIoclock, former game designer at Rockstar Games, commented on the next entry in the open-world series launching next year, saying that the developer has raised the bar again in terms of realism and NPC behavior, which will blow everyone away and will be talked about many years after launch. The former developer also talked about mission design, saying that it will be what makes the game good, granting players freedom. As for the current state of the game, Grand Theft Auto VI is in the bug-fixing phase, so hopefully, it won’t take much longer to see more of it.

It has been almost a year since we last saw Grand Theft Auto VI, thanks to its official announcement trailer, which provided a very quick look at the two protagonists and the state of Leonida, where Vice City is located. Since then, Rockstar Games has been pretty silent about the game, leaving plenty of room for rumors and speculation regarding its precise release date, which hasn’t slipped to 2026 as of September, leaving fans plenty of time to put together documents going over everything that is currently known about what will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time, according to analysts.

Grand Theft Auto VI is in development for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It will be released sometime next year.
