GTA 6 trailer 2 looks like a sure-fire expectation in 2024 however what else from Rockstar Video games? We’ll be looking at what I consider we will anticipate to see from the corporate within the upcoming yr.
Wanting again ultimately yr’s predications and surprises
Firstly, let’s recap final yr’s predictions. On the finish of 2022, I wrote about what we will anticipate from Rockstar Video games in 2023. Lots of these issues got here to fruition. The principle factor was a correct reveal of GTA VI with its emblem and trailer. We did certainly get that and extra in December 2023.
The largest shock of 2023 for a lot of would have been the re-release of Pink Useless Redemption on PS4 and Nintendo Swap. It did get leaked in 2023 and launched shortly after. Despite the fact that Pink Useless Redemption 1 and a couple of offered nicely this yr, content material was restricted.
GTA On-line DLC
As for GTA On-line, it was anticipated a number of sizeable updates would drop throughout the regular months. We did speculate that unearthed music content material might come to the sport in 2023. Nonetheless, that particular content material continues to be but to be seen in an replace. It’s doable that has been shelved or is coming in 2024.
Given how lengthy it’s been although the hope of seeing it’s slipping. Dependable leaker Tez2 who shared the music creation content material leak additionally stated an look of Michael De Santa in GTA On-line’s story might additionally occur. This has been an enormous request by the group, extra so within the final yr I’d say. While Michael didn’t come to GTA On-line, one other beloved character did. Yusuf Amir of GTA VI The Ballard of Homosexual Tony fame was part of The Chop Store replace.
Extra in-game occasions for the group have been additionally anticipated and people did occur extra so in direction of the tip of this yr. They did take a step up in engagement as soon as once more in 2023 and we’d prefer to see this trajectory proceed.
Extra GTA Trilogy releases
We additionally anticipated the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Version to launch on Steam and the Epic Video games Retailer which it did again in January and February this yr. Its launch on cell platforms was one other factor we speculated about. It did occur on the finish of 2023 and even was a part of individuals’s Netflix subscriptions in an surprising twist.
GTA San Andreas VR
As a fan of VR gaming, I had actually hoped the digital actuality model of GTA San Andreas could be talked about once more at a Meta showcase in 2023. It merely didn’t occur. Loads of potential clients assume the venture is lifeless given each Rockstar’s and Meta’s silence on it. The one acknowledgement of from Meta this yr was “We don’t have any updates to share on GTA: San Andreas.”
Might Payne Remake
Based mostly on Treatment’s revealed improvement schedule for all their video games, it was anticipated that the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake would maintain progressing. As of October 2023, it entered the manufacturing readiness stage.
What 2024 may appear to be
GTA VI trailer 2 and launch date
Based mostly on evaluation of Rockstar’s earlier massive sport launch patterns, we might see the second GTA VI trailer launch round October/November 2024. We went in-depth looking on the previous 15 years or so of promoting by Rockstar to see what they do. A launch date or fairly a launch month must also be revealed with trailer 2.
It’s additionally value noting a Newswire article from Rockstar sharing some new screenshots might are available in about 6 months. That is one thing Rockstar has accomplished earlier than a second trailer for titles like GTA V and Pink Useless Redemption 2. As for anything, we’d not anticipate something on GTA VI from Rockstar.
GTA On-line updates and FiveM
As soon as once more, an honest summer time and winter replace for GTA On-line could be assumed by all gamers. Similar goes for a Halloween occasion as nicely. Regardless of some followers pondering GTA On-line will merely seize to get updates now GTA VI has been introduced, that received’t be the case. GTA On-line continues to make some huge cash and updates deliver gamers again. GTA VI is probably 2 years away from launch and never releasing GTAO content material would harm their backside line.
Now that Rockstar Video games personal the staff behind FiveM, quite a lot of GTA On-line followers would like to see enhancements made within the unofficial GTA On-line come to the actual sport on console. How FiveM and the staff’s experience shall be used stays to be seen.
GTA+ and traditional cell sport choices
GTA+ has continued to develop in varied methods in 2023. From a rise in subscribers to the huge quantity of perks on supply, this service might see extra in 2024. The Vinewood Automotive Membership, 100 automobile storage, Taxi bonuses and traditional video games all joined GTA+ in 2023. I believe it’s seemingly extra advantages shall be added to GTA+ in 2024. We must also be seeing a brand new number of traditional video games corresponding to Bully rotated in for the GTA Trilogy or Liberty Metropolis Tales/Chinatown Wars.
Pink Useless Redemption
Occasion months for Pink Useless On-line will proceed however there received’t be any main content material updates regardless of the continued success of the sport. It might need launched over 5 years in the past however the sport continues to promote nicely. Rockstar is generally all palms on deck for GTA VI now.
Max Payne Remakes
Based mostly on what info Treatment has shared with us, we will get an thought of what to be taught concerning the Max Payne remakes in 2024. The present stage it’s in will take one other month or so. After that, the sport will enter full-on manufacturing. This could take a yr or two. As a result of this upcoming stage taking longer than earlier phases that occurred in 2023, particulars is perhaps gentle for some time.
GTA San Andreas VR
I’m simply placing this right here as a result of myself and others need the sport nonetheless to return out. Any signal of life could be appreciated Meta and Rockstar! So would simply saying the sport has been cancelled. Honesty and transparency goes a great distance. Every time Meta maintain a dwell stream showcase, the dwell chat is spamming GTA SA. There’s quite a lot of want for it.
2023 has been an unimaginable yr for Rockstar Video games followers and 2024 is shaping as much as be one too. There’s quite a lot of momentum behind the studio proper now and we sit up for seeing what they’ve in retailer for us within the subsequent 12 months.
For all of your Rockstar Video games information in 2024, keep tuned proper right here to RockstarINTEL.
