Launching late 2019, based on the CitizenFX framework and RAGE/M technology.” It’s expected to work similarly to FiveM when it releases in time for December – which is also around the time…

The idea is that at some point, new opportunities may be too big to be sustained inside the camp, so maybe it needs to move to…

Australia has refused classification to a Rockstar Games project codenamed “Bonaire” – but no one knows what it is. While some speculate that this may be an upcoming video game, it’s more likely to be extra content for an existing Rockstar Games property or even a separate version. The two best guesses for what “Bonaire” could be are the upcoming PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 or even single-player DLC for it. Although, it’s unclear why Australia refused to rate the project (which essentially means they banned the current version of said content from being sold in the country)…

A new rumor has surfaced originating from Bully YouTuber TheNathanNS who claims to have received the world’s first screenshot from Bully 2 footage. Rockstar INTEL could not independently verify the authenticity of this image, so take it with a grain of salt. The image shows our first look at the UI, which implies the game will have an Online mode, social club support and we also see a part of the map being titled the Wintersmith Mansion. Again, this image has not been verified by us. RDRForums moderator SpiderVice gave his thoughts on the image: https://twitter.com/SpiderVice/status/1161640992321282050 To avoid possible copyright, this…

Some of these contractors claimed that they had to sleep under their desks and worked up to 100-hour work weeks. Since the controversy, Kotaku reports that the working conditions around the studios have…

UPDATE: Polygon have apologized saying “Our original joke URL for this post has been changed. Sorry if that got your hopes up.” Assholes. ORIGINAL: Video game news site Polygon may have just leaked Bully 2. Either that, or this is the most evil troll of all time. In a new article from the site which reports on Grand Theft Auto V’s Bully easter egg, one of the URLs for the article ends with “/bully-sequel-announced-fall-2020-news-embargoed-do-not-publish”. The actual article is nothing to do with any embargoed news, but the slug for the URL claims Bully 2 is coming out in Fall 2020 and that…
