Still, fans remain optimistic for the upcoming release of the next Grand Theft Auto game. We know next to nothing about it outside of what has been seen in leaks. The game will feature two protagonists, a man and a woman, and be set in Vice City. A recent leak indicated the game has also been in development since 2015. Beyond that, everything is kind of a mystery. With all of that said, one of Rockstar's most senior writers has left the studio, according to his LinkedIn. Rockstar's Vice President of Writing Michael Unsworth appears to have left the studio as his LinkedIn account shows that his tenure at VP or Writing ended this year. It's likely Unsworth worked on the next Grand Theft Auto, but is under NDA and can't disclose his contributions to that title at this time. The writer's work at Rockstar includes:
Red Dead Redemption II
Grand Theft Auto V
Max Payne 3
LA Noire
Red Dead Redemption
Grant Theft Auto IV

Vice President of writing at Rockstar Games Michael Unsworth appears to have left the company after 16 years, at least according to his LinkedIn.
He's most notable for writing both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, Grand Theft Auto IV & V, Max Payne 3,… pic.twitter.com/ntR7qQznvN
It's worth noting that Rockstar Games utilizes a team of writers and they're not written by just one or two people, like a film. It's a group effort, so Unsworth's departure doesn't leave the studio without a writer or necessarily mean there will be a huge drop-off in quality. It's not clear what Unsworth specifically wrote in these games, so it's hard to judge what impact this may have on future Rockstar games.
