“I Have a Bad Feeling About GTAVI”: Fans Are Concerned Over GTA 6 As Rockstar Games Loses a Key Member

If there’s anything gaming fans want right now more than anything else, it’s GTA 6. One can call it the most anticipated release of this decade, thanks to all the hype, mystery, and leaks. According to some insiders, it’s the most expensive Rockstar project to date.

Unfortunately, there’s been no major update from the developer so far. But one can never expect the news to stop on something like GTA 6. Especially, when it comes to the details regarding its development. It looks like a lot of fans are keeping their eagle eyes on it. That becomes quite clear after considering recent intel. Apparently, it has resulted in some hardcore fanboys expressing deep concern for the next open-world installment.

Writer Michael Unsworth has left Rockstar Games and GTA 6 fans are worried now

For those who don’t know him, Michael has been part of Rockstar since 2007. He was a creative lead on some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful IPs of all time. Most notably, though, he is known for his work on Red Dead Redemption as well as Grand Theft Auto. To be precise, he was involved in games such as Grand Theft Auto IV, RDR, Max Payne 3, LA Noire, RDR 2, and Grant Theft Auto V.

Recently, a curious fan noticed that Michael Unsworth is no longer associated with Rockstar Games. The writer has reportedly left the company after 16 years. This update was noticed on the writer’s LinkedIn profile. Interestingly, he’s only one of many people to leave the publisher in the last seven years. After Leslie Benzies left in 2016, Dan Houser (March 2020) and Lazlow (August 2020) also moved on to pursue different opportunities.
