GTA co-creators have not played the upcoming sixth game
GTA co-creator Dave Jones and original writer Brian Baglow have not played GTA 6 ahead of its approaching launch.
Rockstar Games is keeping the new game tightly under wraps, and the creators say they are waiting to see what the studio has made.
The original Grand Theft Auto was released in Dundee, Scotland, in 1997, by a small team at DMA Design.
It let players drive, steal cars and move around on foot, combining different kinds of play in an open world.
The series grew from that original idea into a nearly 30-year-old franchise, and GTA 6 is its next chapter.
Its launch has drawn strong anticipation after a 13-year wait, two delays and several high-profile leaks.
GTA 6 will introduce Jason and Lucia as new protagonists, with Lucia the first playable female character in the series’ 3D games; Brian Baglow says he has pre-ordered it.
