What developer should create a game to fill the GTA void

[THE 101]

Just feels to me like there's a major opportunity for someone to step in and take GTA's open world crime game spot. It's gonna be three gens and close to 15 years between GTA single player games going by that recent report.

Dudes out here fiending.

And yes there's been a million GTA clones over the years and most of them have been average to trash but a major studio who produces innovative interesting games (so that's Ubisoft ruled out) could do some major things in this space.

If only we had got that Sleeping Dogs sequel

if CD project couldn't do it it requires EA/Blizzard money

The single player sandbox isnt viable in 2021, Crackdown 3 and Just Cause 4 didn't seem to do very well.

Cd Project had the opportunity and blew it completely, they were even making an online free roam like GTA online until they had to abandon it just so the single player could be salvageable

Naughty Dog

they'll be to worried about social justice politics to make a truely organic world

I never cared about or played Last of Us so I don't give a fukk
Jak and Uncharted were cool

There is no filling GTA's void. Many have tried and they barely are able to keep their own franchises afloat. I actually thought about Sleeping Dogs when I saw this thread, but while I think a next gen reboot could be a cult classic, GTA's shoes are just too big to fill. shyt, its last iteration will probably continue to sell more than any competitors that release between now and GTA6

I want the Mafia devs to make a 3rd person GTA style game in the future.
