New information about Rockstar Games’ plans has appeared on the GTA forums. A user who previously posted reliable information about Grand Theft Auto 6 claims that the studio has begun early work on a sequel to L.A. Noire.
According to people familiar with the matter, the main team will be transferred to the project after the release of “GTA 6”. It is said that the action will be moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and the central plot will be the investigation of the crimes of “Zodiac”, a serial killer who operated in the area in the late 1960s. Rockstar also plans to significantly improve facial animation technology to make the game more realistic.
The expected release date is 2030, but plans could still change. Meanwhile, the source has confirmed this in the past: he previously announced that the number of protagonists in GTA 6 would be reduced from four to Jason and Lucia, and also described some of the game’s mechanics.
People are skeptical of this rumor because Rockstar may be betting on the development of online projects after “GTA 6”. However, in 2020, Take-Two did remove a rough soundtrack reference to the second installment of L.A. Noire from YouTube, although this in itself does not confirm the development of the sequel.
