According to Kotaku, a new game in the Grand Theft Auto series is currently in development.
Unlike Rockstar's recent games, development on this one is smaller in scope due to recent changes made by the company to improve the work environment and well-being of their staff.
Seems its going to be something more in the vein of GTA Online in the sense of having a sizeable base content at launch and then gets beefed up with content updates over time for post-launch support.

Nestled inside the report is the not-so-stunning revelation that Rockstar is in early development of the next Grand Theft Auto game. However, Rockstar management is said to be applying its reformed approach to the entire structure of GTA 6 (or whatever it may be called). Rather than creating a gigantic game for launch, the plan is to initially ship something that's "moderately-sized," and to add to it through regular updates over time. The idea is that this will alleviate crunch and overworking by spreading the development period over a longer span. Although, as Kotaku notes, "moderately-sized" for a developer as big as Rockstar and a project as important as GTA will still be quite large.
