Grand Theft Auto 6 is still in "early development" seven years after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, according to a new report from video gaming blog and website <a href="https://kotaku.com/18-months-after-red-dead-redemption-2-rockstar-has-mad-1842880524">Kokatu</a>. Kokatu reported on an email that was reportedly sent out to staff at Rockstar by Jennifer Kolbe, a top executive at the company. The email discussed a number of changes that the company has seen in terms of its processes, policies and work environment. Per Kokatu, Kolbe wrote in the email: "In these last several months we have undertaken a lot of work across every area of the company, looking at our processes to determine what works and what doesn't, what we are great at and what we could improve.

"We hope that the majority of you have felt some of these positive changes already and those that haven't soon will." Kokatu reached out to a number of people who either still work at Rockstar or left within the last 12 months. They informed the publication: "One plan that management has laid out for the next game, a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, is to start out with a moderately sized release (which, by Rockstar’s standards, would still be a large game) that is then expanded with regular updates over time, which may help mitigate stress and crunch." That "new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series" is - you guessed it - Grand Theft Auto 6. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XVxZdgSd0/]] But the catch is that the game is still "early in development". Kokatu continued: "When production ramps up and the game gets closer to launching, will overtime come with it? Will Rockstar’s employees then face the pressure of months of crunch in order to finish all of the ambitious work it takes to make a Rockstar game?" Many gamers weren't too happy that the latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series - that they have been waiting a whole seven years for - is only in "early" development: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Vintage_Utd/status/1250577129768615936]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/HamaSawan/status/1250593792996134913]] Related - This Twitch gamer has come under fire for how she handled her cat mid-game: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/htjoqGap-Q0L14jDU.mp4||htjoqGap]]
