LA Noire Director Back at Rockstar Before GTA 6 Launch

In a significant move ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games has acquired Sydney-based developer Video Games Deluxe, rebranding it as Rockstar Australia. This acquisition brings back LA Noire director Brendan McNamara to Rockstar, where he previously established Video Games Deluxe after leaving Team Bondi. The two studios have collaborated on notable projects, including the recent updates for the criticized GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition. Rockstar is hopeful that this new partnership will enhance their game development capabilities, especially with GTA 6 expected to be released in Fall.

What does Rockstar Australia mean for Grand Theft Auto 6's development?

Rockstar Australia will likely play a key role in the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, leveraging its experience and past collaboration with Rockstar on projects like the GTA Trilogy updates and LA Noire re-releases to contribute to the upcoming title.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated games in the series, following the massive success of its predecessors. With a potential Fall release window, fans are eagerly awaiting new features and improved graphics that will push the boundaries of open-world gaming. The acquisition of Rockstar Australia may indicate Rockstar's commitment to delivering a high-quality title that meets the expectations set by fans and critics alike.
