Rockstar North collaborating with Rockstar San Diego on Grand Theft Auto 5

Rockstar wasn't kidding when they said Grand Theft Auto 5 is their most "ambitious open world game" they've ever created.

After rumors that Mafia II developer 2K Czech was contributing to the development of Grand Theft Auto 5, it's now being reported that Rockstar San Diego is also collaborating with Rockstar North, the only confirmed developer to date, on the game.  Rockstar San Diego last worked on Red Dead Redemption.

This comes from the LinkedIn profile of ex-Rockstar senior artist Jonathan G. who stated that he "worked on Grand Theft Auto 5 at Rockstar San Diego" between March 2011 and March 2012.

If true, this wouldn't be the first time Rockstar North has collaborated on a project. Rockstar North previously worked with San Diego on Red Dead Redemption and with Team Bondi on L.A. Noire.

Despite earlier speculation, Rockstar Games has said they have "no plans" for Grand Theft Auto 5 at E3 next week, so don't expect to hear any details soon.
