## Key points

- GTA VI’s success could shape Rockstar’s next move.
- Max Payne and Bully revivals have risks.
- The article makes the case for a new idea.

## Summary

Rockstar Games’ next project will follow the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, whose expected success could shape the studio’s future. The article argues that Rockstar should resist letting that game’s scale define its next release and consider creating an original, lower-stakes single-player title.

Fans have called for revivals of Max Payne and Bully, both of which still have audiences, but the article notes the commercial challenges: Max Payne 3 took years to reach break-even after earning $4 million in its first year. It also suggests audiences are tiring of sequels and reboots and increasingly want new ideas, though the supplied article ends before fully developing its case.
