Still, we finally have official word the game is coming. Speaking with the Jefferies Virtual Global Interactive Entertainment Conference last year (via VGC), Zelnick compared his company’s major franchises - including Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto - to James Bond, in that they’ll just keep going until the heat death of the universe or the series stop making money. Whichever comes first.
