I agree that it's super early for much speculation, but Dan Houser and a few other key players left Rockstar after RDR2. He and Michael Unsworth (who I think also left the studio with Dan) were two-thirds of the GTA 5 and RDR2 writing team. Without their involvement, I fear a scenario where the core single-player narrative has less gravitas, around which much of the detail and realism of the gameplay and game world has previously resolved, and the company leans more into the success of its GTA Online style gameplay.
I'm sure they can still be wildly successful with that formula, but it will be a huge disappointment for me personally.
I think they both still worked on gta 6 though. It’ll probably take until red dead 3 or gta 7 before we really see the impact of them leaving.
That'd be great if it was true but there have been rumors that development largely reset when they left. Guess we'll have to wait until they release credits to know for sure.
