According to the LinkedIn page of a former programmer, Firaxis may be working on an unannounced game, alongside the recent expansions for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Civilization 5.
Christopher Haire worked on Civilization's browser-based Facebook spin-off CivWorld, as well as an unannounced title built with the Unity engine, before he left to join casual games behemoth Zynga.
Firaxis' Ed Beach and Dennis Shirk talk major overhauls in "Test of Time" update.
Today Take-Two Interactive Software announced new sales figures for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V during its quarterly financial conference call. They also teased the future of Firaxis.
It honestly is mystifying to me. I thought GTA V was like ok. Technically impressive in some ways, sure, but kinda quick to become boring for me. Might be series fatigue, because I did probably play more GTA Vice City than any human ever should have.
Gta6 will be in vice city. Can't wait.
I would love for them to remake San Andreas. I played thru it more times than I can count. It capture the 90s Westcoast hood life perfect and had a all star cast. Then the huge map, and cool mini games and feats that changes the character. It's my top 3 favorite game if not #1
@gotta i have the same thing, I just cant get into the newer GTA's anymore. I can tell they are still great games, but i personally prefer the older more arcady GTA games. Nothing beats hearing: KILL FRENZY and then u need to go on a rampage in your car ;)
Vice city was also my favorite, partly because of the multiplayer mod which I used to play a lot with my brother.

I wonder why EA never made a GTA clone considering they bought so many game developers and have so many licenses
They tried, but when your competition makes a game that lasts two generations, whats the point
Rather have GTA 6 instead of milking the same game since 2013
As a gamer I agree but when you look at it in a business perspective, you’d be just fine with what these sales numbers and profits show. Why release the next game when this cash cow is still going 3 generations strong this coming November. Again, this is just a business perspective, not what I personally feel.
I know it won't happen, but I'm hoping for a GTA set in London, written by Guy Ritchie.
Nobody expected a new XCOM game getting announced for this year, and released so quick. And with quite radical changes, developer Firaxis has to temper expectations by stating it’s a spin-off, and it’s sold for cheap.
Like an FBI raid squad, XCOM Chimera Squad kicked opened the doors hard, and hits you strong and fast.
