GTA 6 won't be Rockstar's only big release; here's what else could be coming
(Image via Rockstar) We've been living off GTA 6 hype crumbs for months with trailers, leaks, and release date shifts, but here's the plot twist: Rockstar isn't putting all its eggs in the Vice City basket. Yes, GTA 6 is the star of the show, but the studio's also busy whipping up some other secret dishes. And no, they're not telling us the recipes yet. Rockstar Games is Working on Other Projects Apart from GTA 6 Straight from the mouth of Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, in a recent CNBC chat, Rockstar has 'a lot of other things going on.' Of course, he kept the mystery levels on max, but it's proof that the devs aren't just crunching pixels for GTA 6. Sure, GTA 6 is the 'primary focus,' but history tells us Rockstar is a multitasking beast. Remember how they juggled GTA Online updates while dropping Red Dead Redemption 2? This studio doesn't sleep. Which Other Games Could Be Cooking? Rockstar has a vault of beloved IPs, and fans haven't been shy about asking for their return. Here are the frontrunners for what those 'other things' could be: Bully 2 or a Remake – Fans have been screaming for it since the mid-2000s. Rumors have flared up and died down more times than we can count, but hey… never say never. Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Upgrade – Sure, it runs on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but not natively. Imagine an RDR2 with ray tracing, faster load times, and even prettier sunsets. Totally New IP – Rockstar could shock-drop a new franchise. Unlikely? Maybe. But so was GTA Online printing billions. Rockstar Games Is Working On A New Game... (It's Not GTA 6) Don't Expect Reveals Anytime Soon Rockstar originally aimed for Fall 2025, but earlier this year, it pushed the date to May 26, 2026. They're perfectionists, and if they think it needs more time to meet their own god-tier standards, they'll take it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sarah Ferguson breaks her silence about Prince Andrew Cleverst Undo Still, Zelnick says he's 'highly confident' in that date, so fingers crossed it sticks. Why This Is Big News If Rockstar is developing multiple games alongside GTA 6, that means the post-2026 drought might not be as long as the gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6 (a whole twelve years). We could see a steady flow of content instead of waiting another decade for something fresh. GTA 6 might be the headliner, but Rockstar's backstage is busier than we thought. Whether it's a long-awaited sequel, a next-gen glow-up, or a brand-new surprise, the future looks stacked. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

5 Rockstar games that got canceled before release
Image Via SynthPotato's X Rockstar Games boasts a legacy of developing some of the most groundbreaking and immersive games of all time. But not all of its in-house projects did make it to store shelves. Rockstar quietly canceled some of its more ambitious games over the years, some almost finished. Here are five Rockstar games that were canceled prior to release, including a zombie survival game and a canceled GTA 5 expansion. 1. Bully 2 Development of Bully 2 was supposedly started immediately after the success of the first. A playable prototype with around 8 hours of content was developed, and the world was estimated to be close to three times as large as Bully. Years of development later, Rockstar quietly dropped the project. It is still one of the most-wanted sequels of all time among fans. — SynthPotato (@SynthPotato) 2. Project Z Well before zombies became a gaming phenomenon, Rockstar had an internal project titled Project Z. Based on a Scottish island shrouded in fog, the title included fuel scavenging and constant zombie fending. The idea was innovative for its time but never made it beyond the early development phases. 3. Agent Originally unveiled in 2009 as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, Agent was being developed as a Cold War-era stealth-action game. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Players would be moving through a world of espionage based in the 1970s. In spite of public teasers and constant rumors, Rockstar never showed any gameplay, and the game was cancelled quietly years later. 4. GTA 5 Expansions Rockstar initially conceived of having five single-player expansions for GTA 5, such as a zombie-themed "Norman Episode," an alien invasion sci-fi, and a Liberty City crossover game titled LibertyV. The most advanced among them, the Trevor-based "Clifford Episode," later became GTA Online's Doomsday Heist. The others were canceled as priorities went entirely to online games. 5. The Warriors 2: We Are the Mods A spiritual follow-up to The Warriors had been in development in early stages as We Are the Mods . Based on 1960s England, it dealt with street battles between Mods and Rockers. Originally scheduled for PS2 before being shifted to Xbox 360, the game was ultimately canceled before it could take complete form. Hidden behind Rockstar's high-gloss blockbuster franchises are a number of intriguing games that never reached the public. Whether in the form of a zombie survival idea or overdue sequels, these axed projects are part of Rockstar's forgotten development history, and fuel interest in fans to this day.
