La Noire VR Developer Is Working With Rockstar on an Open World VR Game

The developer behind LA: Noire The VR Case Files is once again working with Rockstar on a new open-world VR game. In a Linkedin announcement, Australian developer Video Games Deluxe said “Having finished the critically well received L.A.Noire: The V.R. Case Files we are now gearing up for a new project, a AAA open world title in VR for Rockstar,” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/01/10/la-noire-the-vr-case-files-review"] “2020 marks our 7th year of working exclusively for Rockstar in Sydney and we are excited to taking on this ground breaking project,” it added. The announcement promotes the opening of several different job vacancies, including senior programmers, engine programmer, designer, and animator, all at the company’s Sydney studio. Each one refers to an “open world AAA VR project”, although the details in the listings does not give away any further details.

Noire, or if this will be an original IP. With GTA 5 recently announced for PS5 there’s demonstration that Rockstar is interested in further expanding the reach of their current Grand Theft Auto. Perhaps VR could be that avenue. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.
