As Rockstar Games is moving full steam ahead to get Grand Theft Auto 6 in our hands this fall, the studio has bolstered its talent roster with the acquisition of Video Games Deluxe. The Sydney-based developer will rebrand as Rockstar Australia as it helps the studio develop new games.
Rockstar announced its acquisition of Video Games Deluxe in a press release this morning. The Australian studio was founded by Brendan McNamara, whose former studio, Team Bondi, developed L.A. Noire in association with Rockstar Games. In 2017, Video Games Deluxe aided in the development of its re-release. The team also worked on Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

Rockstar Games didn’t specify what projects Rockstar Australia will be working on, but all eyes are looking forward to Grand Theft Auto 6, which is scheduled to arrive this fall. For the latest ongoings at Rockstar Games and its subsidiaries, stick with Shacknews.
