What is known
Co-founder and Creative Vice President of RockstarGames Dan Houser is leaving the studio. Back in the spring of 2019, the developer took a break, but has now decided to leave for good. Dan will leave his workplace on March 11, 2020. The new place of work, as well as the reason for leaving, are not mentioned.
“We are extremely grateful for his contributions."Rockstar Games has created some of gaming's most acclaimed and commercially successful worlds, a global community of passionate fans, and an incredibly talented team that remains focused on its current and future projects," writes Rockstar.
Dan Houser worked on almost every part of GTAin the role of screenwriter since London 1969. In addition, the writer contributed creativity to Bully and both Red Dead Redemption. Houser has given more than 20 years to the industry, so leaving seems justified. As PC Games N notes, after the announcement of Dan Houser's resignation, Take-Two shares fell by 5%.
Rumors have been circulating online since 2018 about GTA 6, which Rockstar is developing in silence. It is possible that before March 11, Dan Houser will finish his part of the work and will be able to leave the studio.
