Rockstar North Cordoned Off Following Explosion (Update: They’re Open!) – WGB

UPDATE: Rockstar North has confirmed that they’re again up and working already!

Authentic Story: Rockstar North, a part of the large firm creating GTA 6, has been cordoned off following an explosion within the early hours of January 19.

“We have been alerted at 5.02am on Monday, 19 January to attend an incident on Holyrood Highway, Edinburgh,” a spokesperson for  Scottish Hearth and Rescue Service told The Herald.

Hearth crews had left by round 9am.

No official phrase has been given concerning the trigger but, however preliminary studies point out that the explosion occurred within the boiler room of the constructing.

Fortunately, because it was 5 am, there have been no reported casualties or accidents on the firm. Nonetheless, it’s unclear what kind of injury has been finished to the constructing itself, so the studio could possibly be shut down for a while whereas repairs are underway.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as it was clear folks weren’t harm, of us began joking on-line that this higher not trigger one other delay for GTA 6. Personally, I reckon it was GTA 5‘s Trevor. He’s loopy sufficient and may not wish to be upstaged by a brand new sport.

All the very best to everybody at Rockstar North.
