What's Happening?
Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, has confirmed that the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series will remain focused on American settings and themes. In an interview, Houser explained that the series' identity is deeply rooted in Americana, making it challenging
to replicate the same cultural impact in other locations. The original GTA: London 1969, an expansion pack for the first game, remains the only installment set outside the USA.
Why It's Important?
The decision to keep the GTA series centered on American culture reflects the franchise's success in satirizing and exploring the complexities of American society. This focus allows the series to resonate with a global audience familiar with American cultural tropes. By maintaining this thematic consistency, Rockstar Games ensures that future installments continue to deliver the engaging and provocative storytelling that fans expect.
