Rockstar Games has mastered the art of secrecy when it comes to their hotly anticipated projects.
Grand Theft Auto 6: Everything We Know So Far
But the whispers circling their next entry in the acclaimed Grand Theft Auto franchise are getting louder. Though Rockstar hasn’t officially announced GTA 6 yet, here’s what details may have leaked out so far.
Potential Release Date
GTA 6 speculation revved up recently with a Bloomberg report that production is “well underway.” Though no release date is set, their sources estimate we could be joyriding through GTA 6 as early as 2024 or 2025.
Possible Setting
Most rumors point to Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional take on Miami which debuted in the equally beloved 2002 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This neon-lit, cocaine-fueled 80s backdrop has fans frothing to dive back in.
Other supposed settings include a sprawling South American jungle and multiple cities inspired by Rio de Janeiro and a Miami-like city.
New Characters
Details are sparse about possible protagonists. One persistent rumor includes the series’ first female lead character. However, some leaks suggest we may be getting multiple playable protagonists, similar to GTA 5.
Updates to Gameplay
With new console generations comes new technological capabilities. Supposed updates include improvements to physics and destruction engines for insane explosions and damage effects.
The AI and NPC systems may get overhauls, with more realistic behaviors to make the world feel more alive. Weather systems like tornadoes make destruction even more dynamic.
Conclusion
For now, the GTA 6 details are rumors and speculation without confirmation. But with the series’ continuing popularity and sales records, another adrenaline-packed entry is inevitable.
All we can do is theorize and dream until Rockstar gives us a glimpse of what’s in store. When they finally spill the secrets, you know it’s going to be big.
