Don't mind the 12-year wait — ex Rockstar dev suggests GTA 6 production really started in 2018
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We've all been waiting on GTA 6 for over a decade now, with GTA 5 being just under 12 years old now (and it will be almost 13 by the time the game releases thanks to the new delay). However, despite how good the new GTA 6 trailer looks, being packed full of impressive visual details like realistic beer bottles and cloth animations, the game hasn't been in active development for that whole time. Environment artist David O'Reilly – who worked at Rockstar during the development of GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and GTA 6 before leaving in 2023 – has posted a video on his YouTube channel, Game World Art, reacting to the new GTA reveals. However, during the start of the video "Ex-Rockstar Artist Reacts to GTA6 Trailer 2 Screenshots" he said, "I worked on GTA 6 from 2018 to 2023, [I] went on to it after we wrapped on RDR2." Considering every single one of Rockstar's teams pulled together to work on the Red Dead Redemption sequel, it's pretty much a confirmation that GTA 6 didn't actually go into full development until 2018. That being said, that doesn't mean nothing was being done with the game until then; preliminary work on Red Dead Redemption 2 was being done before GTA 5 was released. It's safe to assume that it's probably the same case for GTA 6 – with pre-production reportedly starting in 2014. However, this gives us a good idea of when things really got put into motion. Even though he only left a couple of years ago, O'Reilly was still wowed by the trailer, saying, "everything looks so different than when I last saw it" before adding, "I think it's going to be pretty indicative of what we're going to see on the release." Assassin's Creed Shadows devs "just couldn't wait" to sneakily add some parkour improvements ahead of a bigger Title Update with some much smoother freerunning

The former Rockstar Games 3d environment artist who worked on Grand Theft Auto 6 has confirmed it's been in development since at least 2018 while reacting to the game's second trailer. GTA 6 has been working on the game for about seven years now Since when Rockstar has been working on the game was also a question in fans' minds, but it seems all the rumours and speculations are clear now. If we look around at the theories and delirium about when we might finally receive a second trailer for the game, we'll have to agree that how wrong it was all, and it is way bigger than it may look. Additionally, a Twitter user pointed out that former Rockstar North environment artist David O'Reilly, whose YouTube name is 'Game World Art', was on the project up until 2023. He also noted that the development started "after we wrapped up on RDR2", reported The Gamer. "I worked on GTA 6 from 2018 to 2023. Went onto it after we wrapped up on RDR2. It's fascinating having a look at all this stuff. - David O'Reilly," he quoted. Fans react to the 2018 development of GTA 6 As soon as this update surfaced on Reddit, fans quickly started discussing it. One wrote, "People like to fantasise that the game has been in development since 2013. Yes, the concepts and writing, but full-scale actual development would've started around the time RDR2 was coming out." "I was not bothered by the first trailer but after 2 it's all I can think about. I can not believe there's another year to go.😭" "They still delivered some pretty fire online dlcs like cayo perico before they dropped the ball in 2022."
