Development giant creates special cover for the latest issue

Rockstar North and GTA V lead Develop October

The new issue of Develop will be hitting the desks of our readers tomorrow, and this month we’re leading with an inside look at Grand Theft Auto V developer Rockstar North.

For the eight-page special feature, Develop took a trip to Edinburgh and the studio itself and got a behind the scenes look at how one of the world’s most famous developers operates.

We got the chance to speak to Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies, studio director Andy Semple, art director Aaron Garbut and technical director Adam Fowler to find out how the biggest game franchise is made.

Rockstar North also created a cover especially for the Develop October issue, giving a colourful glimpse at the series’ history from GTA III to GTA V. You can view the full cover below.

You can get your copy of the new issue tomorrow by subscribing to our iPad or browser edition of the magazine for £14.99 a year, or by purchasing the October issue for a one-off payment of £1.99.
