Grand Theft Auto 6, also known as GTA 6, is highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Grand Theft Auto V. While Rockstar Games has yet to officially announce the game's release date, title, or any specific details about its plot or gameplay, there have been numerous leaks and rumors that have shed some light on what we can expect from the next installment in the series.
Rumored Release Date
A Bloomberg article published in July 2022 suggested that GTA 6 could be released in Take-Two Interactive's 2024 fiscal year, which runs from April 2023 to March 2024. This was further supported by Microsoft's response to the CMA's investigation into its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which stated that GTA 6 is "expected to be released in 2024." Most recently, Rockstar Games announced that a trailer for GTA 6 will be released in early December 2023.
Map and Setting
There have been several rumors about the map and setting of GTA 6. The most popular theory is that the game will be set in Vice City, a fictionalized version of Miami, Florida. This theory is based on several pieces of evidence, including leaked screenshots that show a city with a similar layout and architecture to Vice City, as well as references to the city in the GTA Online expansion, The Cayo Perico Heist.
Other rumors suggest that GTA 6 could be set in a variety of locations, including Liberty City (New York City), Las Vegas, and even London. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims.
Characters
It is rumored that GTA 6 will feature two protagonists, a male and a female. The protagonists are said to be inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, a notorious American couple who committed a string of robberies and murders in the 1930s.
Gameplay
It is expected that GTA 6 will retain the open-world gameplay that the series is known for. Players will be able to explore a vast and detailed world, complete missions, and engage in a variety of activities, such as racing, gambling, and drug dealing.
Graphics and Technology
GTA 6 is expected to take advantage of the latest gaming technology, including ray tracing and 4K resolution. The game is also rumored to feature a new physics engine that will make the world more interactive and realistic.
