Saying that Rockstar Games is working on a new Grand Theft Auto game isn't exactly a bold prediction. However, sources close to the Take-Two Interactive subsidiary have confirmed to GameSpot that the next instalment in the blockbuster series is "well under way" and is already having final touches such as mini-games being applied to it. The sources said a 2012 release was "pretty likely," adding that the game's scale was vast.
"It's the big one," they said.
Unfortunately, the sources would not divulge any further details on the project, which is already the subject of much speculation. A recent set of casting calls from a talent agency point to the game as being set in a Los Angeles-like metropolis, with a motley crew of California characters being filled for a voice-over session. Prior rumours had the game being set in the Miami clone Vice City.
As of press time, Rockstar reps did not have any comment on casting calls, the game's setting, or whether a new GTA was even in development.But still, this is some very promising news that will hopefully lead to an official announcement sometime in the near future.
