While the whole world is waiting for GTA VI, its plot is being created without Dan Houser, who was responsible for the scenarios since 1997 — starting with Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, as well as other Rockstar games, including L.A. Noire.
Two years after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, he left the company, which surprised fans. Earlier, it was reported that the reason for his departure could be a conflict with his brother and Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser. But the truth turned out to be simpler: Houser spoke about professional burnout.
In an interview with American Radio 4, timed to coincide with the release of his debut novel "American Mother," he explained:
The projects are really long and complex, and it takes a long time to complete them. It's hard to create a project of this scale with so many moving parts, 450,000 lines of dialogue and just as many other things that need to be connected. It's a huge experience that takes years, and I didn't know if I would have the strength for the next such game.
