L.A. Noire, released in 2011 by Rockstar and Team Bondi, quickly gained a strong following. Fans have wanted a sequel for years, and reports suggest a new game is in development.
Now, some fresh details are emerging about the story and when it might come out.
This information was gathered and posted on the GTA Forums, along with other leaks from the same source. Although the leak dates back to 2023, it is only now getting noticed.
The post claims that after GTA 6, Rockstar’s next game will be L.A. Noire 2, set in San Francisco. It also mentions that the Zodiac Killer will play a role, possibly as the main character.
According to the leaker, the game was still in early development in 2023 and may not be released until 2030. The first L.A. Noire was known for its groundbreaking facial animations, prompting players to watch closely for signs of deception.
For the sequel, Rockstar reportedly wants to improve face scanning even more and aims to make it the “best looking game ever made.”
That is an ambitious goal, but Rockstar has a strong track record. Still, the studio has not released any official details about L.A. Noire 2. In 2020, a supposed soundtrack for the sequel appeared on YouTube from an unknown account, but Take-Two removed it soon after.
With L.A. Noire 2 expected to release in 2030, it will likely be a while before we learn anything official.
