Quick Glance: 'GTA 6' Publisher Makes Layoffs and Cancels Projects
- Publisher Take-Two Interactive, known for Grand Theft Auto IV, plans to lay off five percent of its workforce by the end of the year and cancel various projects currently in development.
- These decisions were disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, outlining briefly Take-Two's 'cost reduction program.' The company anticipates the plan to save $165 million annually and 'enhance the Company’s margin profile.'
- Several video games in development, including GTA 6, are expected to break sales records upon release next year.
- Even though CEO Strauss Zelnick explicitly stated in February that the company had no plans for job cuts, layoffs are distressing even in the best of times. The impact of these measures on Take-Two's development teams remains to be seen.
GTA 5 Had Trevor DLC Before Rockstar Scrapped It, Voice Actor Steven Ogg Says - IGN

Quick Glance: GTA 5's Scrapped 'James Bond Trevor' DLC Partially Filmed, Actor Reveals
- The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrapped sometime before 2017.
- Agent Trevor was originally one of three episodic packs planned for GTA 5’s post-launch story DLC, along with 'Zombie Apocalypse' and 'Alien Invasion.'
- While the DLC was silently axed sometime between 2013 (when it was initially announced) and 2017 (when its cancelation was confirmed), much of its content was adapted for GTA Online’s Doomsday and Diamond Casino heists.
- While all hopes of GTA 5 story DLC are dashed, maybe there’s a small sliver of hope that Rockstar will go back to producing story-based DLC when GTA 6 arrives.
