A fact that no one knew until today has emerged about Grand Theft Auto (GTA), one of the most loved and played series in the history of the world. Accordingly, after GTA III, the third main game of the GTA series, a sequel that would not normally take place in San Andreas was being considered. Here are the details about this game…
The sequel to GTA 3 was supposed to take place in Tokyo!
Rockstar Games is seriously considering a sequel set in Tokyo after the success of GTA III. This information came to light after data miners confirmed GTA Tokyo references following the leak of GTA 5 source code in December 2023.
In an interview conducted by TimeExtension, based on a reliable source who previously worked at Rockstar, this information was officially revealed to be true.
According to the source, the idea of GTA Tokyo came about when Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser frequently visited Japan during the promotion of GTA III. Houser thought Tokyo would be an interesting city that would suit the atmosphere of the game. However, Rockstar eventually abandoned the project.
These difficulties led Rockstar to decide to return to cities it knew and used in its games before. In short, Rockstar Games decided not to leave its safe zone by avoiding making a bold move.
Ultimately, GTA Tokyo never came to fruition, and Rockstar went on to release one of the best games in history with GTA San Andreas in 2004. However, the idea of GTA Tokyo still lingers in the minds of many gamers.
Although the Yakuza series is shown as the best example of an open-world game set in Tokyo, the idea of a GTA set in Tokyo from a master company like Rockstar Games is also quite exciting…
