Ex-Rockstar Designer Claims Midnight Club 5 Was Killed Because It Wasn't GTA

Ex-Rockstar Designer Claims Midnight Club 5 Was Killed Because It Wasn't GTA

An ex-Rockstar Games designer has made claims that the studio axed the Midnight Club franchise, per IGN. The reason, they allege, was simply because the racing series wasn't as big as the monolithic Grand Theft Auto.

Kotaku reports the former developer's characterization that Midnight Club was treated like Rockstar's 'red-headed stepchild.' The last mainline entry was Midnight Club: L.A., which launched 16 years ago.

These claims suggest the long-dormant racing series was sidelined in favor of the studio's flagship cash cow. With no new entry in nearly two decades, the future for Midnight Club fans looks bleak.
