Rockstar Has Not Confirmed L.A. Noire 2

Published 29 September 2026

A resurfaced online post from 2023 has renewed speculation that Rockstar Games could make a sequel to L.A. Noire, but the company has not confirmed that such a game is in development. The post alleged the project was in an early stage, would be set in San Francisco and draw on the Zodiac Killer case, with a possible release around 2030. Those details remain unverified and trace to the same online claim. The post was attributed to a user identified as Shahanshah and later circulated in gaming forums and online communities. Its claims have been repeated in recent reports, but repetition does not provide independent confirmation. Rockstar has not announced L.A. Noire 2 or confirmed its development status, setting, story, release date or next project after Grand Theft Auto VI. Take-Two Interactive Chief Executive Strauss Zelnick has said the company is considering doing something in the future with its intellectual property, while noting there was nothing specific to announce for L.A. Noire. His remarks indicate that the franchise is among the company’s properties that could be revisited, but they do not establish that Rockstar has approved or begun a sequel.
