Rumored L.A. Noire Sequel
Resurfaced leaks suggest Rockstar Games could develop an L.A. Noire sequel featuring the Zodiac Killer after GTA 6.
Anonymous
Several reports say a resurfaced 2023 leak claims Rockstar’s next project after GTA 6 could be a sequel to L.A. Noire, set in San Francisco and centered on the Zodiac Killer. The leaker also reportedly said the game was in very early development, might not arrive until around 2030, and could advance the original’s facial-capture technology. Some details the same leaker shared about GTA 6—including the decision to use two protagonists rather than four—have since been corroborated by Rockstar, lending the claims attention but not confirming the sequel. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said there is nothing to announce about L.A. Noire, while noting the company considers its legacy franchises; Rockstar has not confirmed a follow-up.
Key Points
1
The resurfaced leak reportedly originated with a 4chan user in 2023 and was later shared on GTAForums; the GTAForums post gained renewed attention after appearing on Reddit.
2
The Zodiac Killer is believed to have murdered at least five people in the San Francisco area between December 1968 and October 1969, the period and location that reportedly inform the rumored sequel.
3
One report says a soundtrack labeled “LA. Noire Part Two” was uploaded to YouTube in 2020 and then taken down by Take-Two; the report offers this as another possible clue, not confirmation of a sequel.
4
The original L.A. Noire was developed by Team Bondi and drew on crimes from the 1940s; a separate Team Bondi project, the Shanghai-set spiritual successor Whore of the Orient, was planned for release in 2015 but did not come out.
