Why Is Everyone Talking About LA Noire 2 All of a Sudden?
Rumors of an LA Noire 2 have been floating around, but is there actually any truth to them?
Recent chatter surrounding LA Noire 2 has fans curious about the possibility of a sequel to the critically acclaimed crime thriller. Rumors gained traction after a 2023 GTA 6 leak detailed Rockstar's initial plans for a four-protagonist game, which was later reduced to two. The leak also hinted at a relationship mechanic and a sequel set in San Francisco, inspired by the infamous Zodiac Killer.
Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson later confirmed the two protagonist plan. Team Bondi, the studio behind LA Noire, disbanded after the game's release, but Brendan McNamara founded new studios, ultimately leading to Video Games Deluxe's acquisition by Rockstar in 2025. Given McNamara's passion for storytelling and his team's involvement in GTA 6, it's plausible that LA Noire 2 could be on the horizon, especially considering Rockstar's interest in the franchise and their subsequent actions, like porting LA Noire to Xbox One, PS4, and VR, and acknowledging the franchise's potential for future games.
