An Official Rockstar Job Listing Shows Us Incredible Details About GTA 6

Rumors about GTA 6 are everywhere on the internet right now since a new leak from Rockstar has made its appearance this week. The leak gives us details about the graphics and the gameplay.

The leak is from an official job listing for a VFX Artist at Rockstar New England. We got to hear more details about the next-gen visuals.

The role of the artist, according to Rockstar, stands in visual effects: “We help to bring extra life to the environment, characters, weapons, vehicles, and more.  The visual effects help to immerse the player in a believable world, from using ambient effects for things like insects around the player and rain dripping off buildings up to large scale destruction events like skyscrapers crashing to the ground. Our technology is used to tie the world together; weapons create bullet impacts, vehicles kick up dirt and smoke and leave debris when they crash, objects get dirty when the fall in mud.”

The responsibilities also show that the artist will create high-quality particle effects and will optimize the assets for the next-gen consoles.

Of course, the job listing does not clearly state that the job is for GTA 6, but it does say that this is a full-time and permanent position in Rockstar’s studio in Andover. We know that GTA 6 is currently in the works, so we can say that the artist could, technically, work on GTA 6, as well as other games. But the details of the job just make us think about GTA 6, with its “characters, weapons and vehicles,” which can “leave debris when they crash.” We may as well just say that this is clear GTA 6 work.

We cannot wait to see what developers have in mind for us with the brand new game from the franchise.
