With Rockstar seemingly sticking to its guns thatGrand Theft Auto 5will continue to be the company’s flagship title as the game plans torelease on PS5, new information may have come to light about the highly anticipatedGrand Theft Auto 6. This comes as fans brace to see the latest title in theGTAseries span across three console generations, with no official news releasing for a sequel to the almost seven-year-old game.
The latest information on the possible progress ofGTA 6comes from an updated resume for a Rockstar employee, who recently added a new project and job title to their experience. According to Twitter user @NickPlaysGamesX, a four-year Rockstar employee named Sarah Overend changed titles from Junior Animator to Animator and claims to have worked onRed Dead Onlineanimations, as well as a second title that has yet to be announced.

Overend’s resume does not state what this new title is, however it does imply that the game involves weapons with a similar style toRed Dead Online, seeing as how it lumped the two games together. So, while it isn’t confirmed that this new title isGTA 6, it does still hint that whateverRockstar’s next title may be, it is likely in the same vein asGTAandRDR. Additionally, the biggest reveal from this resume might also mean thatGTA 6is further along than most players expect it to be, considering how long Overend has reportedly been working on the most recent project.
While the change in job title isn’t completely indicative of when development began on this unannounced title, it does suggest that Overend’s work on the game began all the way back in December of 2018. This lends credibility to previous leaks thatGTA 6’s development is further alongthan official statements by Rockstar games have indicated in the past. That is of course if this upcoming title is indeed the next game in theGTAseries, which can’t be confirmed at the time of this writing.
It wouldn’t be a leap of logic to considerGTA 6to be Rockstar’s most highly anticipated title, even without the game ever officially being announced. Players were hoping to see news at the PS5 reveal and ended up disappointed to seeGTA 5leading the waytowards the next-gen. However, with over a year and a half of development allegedly spent on the game’s animation, this latest leak might be exactly the news players need to stay excited.
Grand Theft Auto 6is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
