A former Rockstar technical director revealed that a GTA game set in Tokyo nearly happened but would have been developed by an external Japanese studio using Rockstar's code. The project never materialized, and the developer explains that as GTA budgets have grown into the billions and development cycles stretch to 12 years, the studio is unlikely to take risks on non-American settings.
