Rockstar Games has made an acquisition ahead of GTA 6, bringing Video Games Games Deluxe based in Sydney, with which he worked in the GTA trilogy: Definitive Edition, in the fold and renowing Rockstar Australia.
The movement takes the director of the Noire Brendan McNamara to Rockstar, and the developer founded Deluxe video games after starting the now missing team from the study of the Noire Bondi.
“After working together for many years, we are excited that luxury video games join the team as Rockstar Australia,” said Rockstar Editorial Director Games Jennifer Kolbe in a release on the acquisition published by Businesswire.
Deluxe and Rockstar video games have collaborated in the relaunch of the Noire, their virtual reality cases and more recently in an update of the GTA trilogy: Definitive Edition. This was the update that followed the original version of the latter criticized for its poor quality, something that a different study, Grove Street Games, has taken the worst part of its flock, with the update of having taken the GSG CEO to suggest that scrubing some mentions of the Grove Street Games of the game was a “Dick Movement.”
As noted, the acquisition of Deluxe video games also brings to the director of the Noire, Brendan McNamara, who also founded the developer of that Bondi game, back to Rockstar. The Bondi team closed its doors in 2011, having faced accusations of poor working conditions and crunch culture, something that McNamara responded at that time.
“It has been an honor to work in close collaboration with Rockstar games in the last decade,” Mcnamara said in the launch of luxury video games becoming Rockstar Australia, “we are delighted to be part of Rockstar Games and continue our efforts to make the best possible games.”
It is likely that we will not know with certainty if Rockstar Australia will give a hand to the development of GTA 6 until the game comes out, but it seems a configuration that would potentially make sense, given that the game is currently attending its autumn launch window currently in pencil.
That is for the launch of the game console: Rockstar has not yet given news in a PC launch window, despite some recent and quickly walking comments from an executive in the company behind a humor light of Hardcore players.
