Summary

Even though we've only seen two trailers for GTA 6, it feels like we've been hearing about it for a lot longer.
Rumours about the game have been circulating for years now, and there's a good reason for it.
A former Rockstar Games developer has revealed just how long GTA 6 has been in development.

A former 3D environment artist who worked on has confirmed it's been in development since at le🍸ast 2018 while reacting to the game's second trailer.

Up until last week, it felt like it🦋 had been a painfully long time since we'd heard anything concrete about GTA 6. Just look at all of the theories and delirium about when we might finally receive a second traile🐻🦂r for the game, and you'll see ju💞st how bad it all was. In reality, tho💖ugh, we've been waiting a whole lot longer to learn about Rockstar's next big game.

Ever since Red Dead Redemption 2 launched towards the end of 2018, everyone has wondered what Rockstar was coo🅰king up next. It was widely assumed to be the next Grand Theft Auto, . That leaves the development timeline a little murky, but we now know for sure when 🐈work started.

GTA 6 Has Been In The Works For Seven Years Now

It'll Be Eight By The Time It Launches

, former Rockstar N🍸orth environmen꧅t artist David O'Reilly (who goes by Game World Art on YouTube), and then on GTA 6 during its early development, extravaganza over on its website.

Before reacting to the screenshots themselves, though, and noted that he started working on Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2018 and was on the project all the way up until 2023. O'Reilly also specifically pointed out that development start𒐪ed "after we wrapped up on RDR2", confirming the initial start date.

I worked on GTA🔯 6 from 2018 to 2023. Went onto i༺t after we wrapped up on RDR2. It's fascinating having a look at all this stuff. - David O'Reilly

This means that GTA 6 has been in development for around seven years and, if it doesn't get delayed again, will have been in the works for eight by the time it launches. Of course, this doesn't come as a surprise considering how long these games take and how many rumours and leaks the♈re have been over the years, but it's still good to know for sure how 🍨long the project has been i𒁏n development.
