Rockstar North: Explosion at the Office Developing GTA 6

An explosion occurred in the boiler room of the Rockstar North building in Edinburgh, Scotland, early Monday morning. Seven fire vehicles responded to the incident, which caused structural damage to the commercial building. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Rockstar North is the company's main development center and the birthplace of the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series. The office remains closed, and authorities are investigating the cause of the explosion. It is currently unclear whether the incident will affect the release of GTA 6, which has already been delayed twice and is scheduled for November 19th. In recent months, the office has been in the spotlight due to employee mobilizations and allegations of layoffs.
