This narrative needs to stop lmao. The game hasnt been "in development" for 10 years.

They didn't even have PS5 dev kits 10 years ago.

At best, they've had a concepts, or ideas for that amount of time. Not actual work done on the game.

They made a full blown game, called RDR 2, in 2018. Just 5 years after GTA 5. As well as countless updates to GTA5 online.

Most studios didnt get actual PS5 dev kits until like 2018, so at best, full production on this started in 2019 the earliest.

Then you add covid. Mf's working from home, studio closures, delays on development.

This has been in actual development for 5 years at best.

Thats the same amount of time it took for God of War 2018, and essentially every other AAA game inexistence. And this game is going to be MUCH bigger in scope, scale and ambition than all of them.

The 10 years trope is a myth started by people who think they just randomly started working on this in 2014, when the PS4 was literally only a year old.
Conceptualization of the game probably started around 2017/2018. That’s when the Project Americas leaks started happening where the game was supposed to be Vice City and some areas in South America.

There were also rumors of development starting over around 2020 after Dan Houser left.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is in 'Development Hell' according to new leaks, project had to be restarted after Dan Houser left in 2020.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is reportedly in "development hell" according to fresh rumors, which also state that GTA 6 development restarted once Dan Houser left Rockstar Games in 2020.


GTA 6 had already gone through changes before Houser left, with the story of GTA 6 changing before he left and that development on GTA 6 had restarted when he left -- and that Houser leaving Rockstar is a "direct consequence" of that says Chris from Rockstar Mag.

The post on NeoGAF continues, saying that Rockstar cannot provide any information on GTA 6 -- noting the original announcement for Grand Theft Auto 6 was meant for 2020 -- because "they changed the story and other game elements too many times in 2019, so don't count on something related to GTA VI soon. This is the most chaotic project R * has managed to date. More than RDR 1 and GTA IV. He didn't want to develop but that's not a good sign".

Chris also confirmed GTA 6 will be taking place in 2 different time periods, and that the map and other elements are "changing so fast, it's useless to share anything". The post on NeoGAF continues: "R * is aiming for something more mainstream for GTA VI. (Please note that I'm using mainstream but it's a bit 'strong' for the original meaning in French. The literal traduction is 'general audience')".

Looks like around 2020 they pivoted from the Project Americas concept to the Bonnie and Clyde one we see now.

I'm of 100% that the "Project America's" leaks were leakers misinterpreting the Cayo Perico heist.

Everything that was rumored in "Project America's" (foreign location, vibe, weapons, even a storyline that ties into a GTAV crime family) ended up just being what Cayo Perico was.
