It's been over a year since we got the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 and if we believe Take-Two Interactive's increased marketing budget for the next fiscal year, it won't be long before we get the next trailer ahead of the game's release window this fall. While GTA 6 is still at least half a year away, it hasn't stopped insiders from talking about what comes after, no, we aren't talking about just the next Grand Theft Auto Online - though one insider thinks there isn't much else to speculate about.
A reputable Rockstar Games insider, known as @Mvbrr on social media, has shed light on the company's plans post- GTA 6. According to their recent posts, Rockstar is reportedly pivoting towards a new initiative called "Project ROME," which stands for "Rockstar Online Modding Engine," a would-be successor to the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine.
He adds that Project ROME represents a significant evolution for the multiplayer component of GTA 6. The insider suggests that this new direction will prioritize player creativity, allowing users to generate and share custom content within the game world. Although ambitious, it aligns with recent reports of Rockstar exploring collaborations with creators from popular platforms like Fortnite and Roblox, hinting at a possible embrace of metaverse-like concepts within the Grand Theft Auto universe.
