Ever since the release of the fifth installment back in September of 2013, fans have patiently awaited the return ofGrand Theft Auto,but have not been given any indication of when they might see it.

That being said, seven years is an incredibly long time to wait for a new installment, and fans have started to get restless. Though, in the past year alone, there have beennumerous rumors and leaksfloating around regarding the release ofGrand Theft Auto 6. The latest news regarding the highly anticipated title comes in the form of a job posting on Rockstar Games' career page.
Rockstar recently posted a job application on their career page for a Technical Build Engineer. A position that requires experience with various programming languages and excellent communication skills. Though, something to note is that the job description mentions that the candidate will “work closely with developers and QA to ensure builds are stable upon release.” This strongly implies that Rockstar is working on a new project and requires additional staff. This job listing does appear to coincide with what Rockstar mentioned at the beginning of the year in terms of expectingGrand Theft Autonews.
Nothing about this job post necessarily guarantees that Rockstar is working onGrand Theft Auto 6,it just means that they require a Technical Build Engineer. That’s ultimately the problem withGrand Theft Auto 6at this point in time. There’s just too muchfan speculation and theorizingwithout actually hearing anything concrete from Rockstar itself. Right now, there’s not much fans can really do except wait for Rockstar to give an official response.
That being said, there has been a lot of support in terms of officialGrand Theft Auto 6news,especially the leak regarding the former Rockstar employee. 2020 will mark the seventh year since the release ofGrand Theft Auto 5so Rockstar has certainly taken its sweet time getting to this point. Hopefully, when it comes time for the company to deliver, fans will not be disappointed.
