L.A. Noire 2 is Rockstar’s next game after GTA 6 claims source
A resurfaced leak suggests Rockstar Games is in the early stages of developing a sequel to L.A. Noire, potentially set in San Francisco and focusing on the Zodiac killer. While no release date is clear, Take-Two Interactive has previously expressed openness to more L.A. Noire titles.
LA Noire still stands as Rockstar's extravagant, cinematic ode to noir fiction that could have changed everything
LA Noire, released in 2011, was an ambitious and expensive detective game that aimed to blend cinematic storytelling with interactive gameplay. Despite its innovative MotionScan facial capture technology and detailed crime scene investigations, the game's interrogation mechanics were often criticized for being inaccurate and confusing. While it captured the noir atmosphere effectively and offered a unique experience, it ultimately failed to spawn imitators or significantly change the industry, remaining a singular, albeit flawed, experiment.
Take-Two CEO says "there's nothing to announce" about an LA Noire sequel after acquiring its creator's studio, but "the teams are always looking at what we have"
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick stated there is currently nothing to announce regarding an L.A. Noire sequel, though the company is exploring future opportunities for its intellectual properties. He noted that Rockstar Games would be the entity to announce any such project. The acquisition of Video Games Deluxe, led by L.A. Noire director Brendan McNamara, by Rockstar Games has fueled speculation about a potential return for the detective series.
