John Ricchio, one of the producers of GTA 5, spoke in an interview about Rockstar’s GTA series. He mentioned a point that worked well in GTA 4, but may not apply to GTA 6.

What is this secret thing? According to Ricchio, missions were integrated in GTA 4 that originated from a then-unannounced game that ultimately was completely canceled.

Some of the missions that were originally designed for this canceled game were so good that the team probably saved them and integrated them into GTA 4. Unfortunately, the former producer does not specify which game or missions he is referring to. 

Nevertheless, something like that will probably not happen in GTA 6, and this is due to several reasons, as Ricchio explains in a video on YouTube.

GTA 6 will not have canceled content

Why doesn’t this work for GTA 6? There were also many canceled contents in GTA 5 such as mini-games that were almost finished and would actually fit well into GTA 6. According to Ricchio, there are four reasons why there will still be no secret missions from canceled games in GTA 6:

  • The technological development has rapidly advanced in recent years, which means that old codes or old scripts could not be reused. They would have to be completely rewritten. 
  • There are enough creative minds in Rockstar’s team, so there would be no need to recycle old missions. There is an abundance of new ideas.
  • In the current code foundation, there is no unfinished building block left on which to base GTA 6. One would have to completely redesign, animate, and program the old mission from scratch. 
  • The level of detail in GTA 6 is on a completely different level than in GTA 5. This also implies that animation and interaction must be developed from scratch. 

Either way, it boils down to the fact that the missions have to be completely redesigned, for which the Rockstar team probably currently has no time.
