Activision Is Reportedly Building a GTA Rival
A GTA Boom report (10/26/2026) links Activision to Elsewhere Entertainment, a Warsaw studio staffed with CD Projekt Red, Naughty Dog, Ubisoft, and Bungie veterans, working on an AAA open-world project fans are calling a "GTA rival."
Activision is reportedly developing, through a little-known studio, a narrative-driven open-world AAA game that fans online are already calling a "GTA rival." According to a GTA Boom report, published on October 26, 2026, the project is being built by Elsewhere Entertainment, a studio founded in 2024 and based in Warsaw, Poland.
Elsewhere brings together veterans from heavyweight studios — CD Projekt Red, Naughty Dog, Ubisoft, and Bungie — and, per the report, is working on a title ambitious enough to be informally compared to Rockstar Games' upcoming release.
What the job listings reveal about the project
The clearest clues about the game don't come from an official announcement, but from job listings posted by Elsewhere itself. The roles mention scalable animation systems, NPCs with context-aware behavior (able to react differently depending on the situation), and a world that responds to player decisions. The listings also reference vehicles, parkour, melee and ranged combat, plus a multiplayer component — a combination that reads a lot like the recipe for a big-budget narrative open world.
Neither Activision nor Elsewhere is calling this a "Rockstar rival"
It's worth separating what was officially stated from fan and press speculation: so far, neither Activision nor Elsewhere Entertainment has used the term "GTA rival" to describe the game. The label emerged from a combination of the involved studios' pedigree, the tone of the job postings, and the timing — all surfacing right as GTA 6 dominates the industry conversation.
Scale check: the gap between Rockstar and Elsewhere
A size comparison helps put expectations in perspective. Rockstar Games reportedly employs around 4,700 people and spent roughly 8 years developing GTA 6. Elsewhere Entertainment, founded in 2024, is estimated at 51-200 employees — meaning it has existed for only about 2 years. That doesn't mean Elsewhere's project can't be ambitious, but it highlights just how large the gap in resources and development time is compared to what Rockstar is shipping.
Context: Activision, Call of Duty, and the size of GTA 6's shadow
The timing of the report is also notable because Activision itself has already publicly acknowledged how much weight GTA 6 carries in the market: the company said Rockstar's launch should actually help Call of Duty by pulling players back to consoles. Even so, Activision chose to move this year's Call of Duty release out of November — exactly the window when GTA 6 arrives, on November 19, 2026.
