"GTA" hardcore fans are looking forward for the next chapter in the game. "GTA VI" is rumored to be starting production this year and may be released by 2019. It is also speculated that developer Rockstar will release other big games along the way.

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, acknowledges that "GTA V" and "Grand Theft Auto Online" are the two of the biggest income makers for their video game lineup, and their Quarterly Earnings Report mentioned that there will be future projects that are expected to bring growth to their Non-GAAP revenues for the current fiscal year, as well as the next one.

Fans are speculating that "Red Dead Redemption 2" will be released next. The speculations started when a map of the rumored game was leaked last month. The map that surfaced online hinted that the long-awaited game is a prequel, reported IGN.

There are also speculations that this will be followed by the release of the still unconfirmed "GTA VI." It is known that Rockstar works on a project for a couple of years, and it is expected that "GTA VI" will also take as long a time to be ready.

International Business Times reported that the company posted a job listing for a Quality Assurance (QA) game tester, who will work in a multiplayer environment. This new staff might be for the sixth game in the franchise or for another IP.

In other news, Rockstar has announced that "Grand Theft Auto Online" will have one big expansion dropping on June 7. The company will be releasing "Further Adventures in Finance and Felony," which it described as the "biggest and deepest" update for the game.

The company said, "A giant leap up the corporate ladder following the VIP experience of Executives and Other Criminals, the Finance and Felony update gives players the opportunity to expand their organization and become CEO of their own Criminal Enterprise."

The expansion pack will feature a Pegassi Reaper super car that will surely turn heads when roaming the streets of San Andreas. It is just one of the new vehicles in store for the fans, aside from several new features.

 The company will release more details in the coming week.
