GTA 6 release date, news and rumors

What could GTA 6 look like? We round up the rumors and our own wishlist

Although GTA 6 hasn't been officially announced, we'd be very surprised if it doesn't eventually exist. After all GTA 5, along with its online multiplayer component GTA Online, is one of the most-played and most-purchased games of all time, which means a sequel is quite the sure-bet.

According to Kotaku's report, "new entries in the Grand Theft Auto series," are still under development from April 2020.

Upgrade time means expecting the game to be the theme of the PS5 and Xbox Series X is a sure bet, and the release of the updated GTA 5 for PS5 and Xbox Series X in March 2022 suggests we can wait a long time for the new GTA. topic.

The latest rumor is that it came from the Rockstar activity list, which shows the amazing details and the "massive demolition" of GTA 6. That could be a huge improvement over what you can currently find in GTA 5 and GTA Online.

But, that is not all. Continue reading all the GTA 6 rumors that have spread so far.

When is the release date for GTA 6?

Long story short: if Rockstar had announced GTA 6 the day after Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 26, 2018 - put it in your diary), and based on historical delays between GTA console announcements and releases, we would have been waiting for Months 22 - so August 2020. Yes, Rockstar did not do that. It did nothing, in fact, so what we should continue with is the word that GTA 6 "began to be developed" from April 2020. That makes it difficult to predict any kind of release window.

We've rated some dates, but this table shows you the gap between the 'announcement' and the 'release' of GTA games, and the time elapsed between the major entries.

The latest rumor is that the release date for GTA 6 will be in 2025. That comes with a tip that the game is set to a modern version of Vice City, which will expand and change over time.

That contradicts earlier rumors that GTA 6 could be launched in October 2023 and set in Miami. That comes from a dubious online source, but more details from that one-man sequel, a male character, and a game set in the 1970s, and a chapter-based story like Red Dead Redemption 2. Combine that with Rockstar mocking fans and the official Rockstar. The support account tells us to "stay tuned" for updates on GTA 6 on Twitter and it 's always very exciting.

What will be the GTA 6 setting? Here are all the rumors

GTA 6 leaks appeared on Reddit. User JackOLantern1982 has passed a total of 23 details about the upcoming Rockstar game. As well as ensuring that it is developed, they named it the code Project Americas as the game will take place in many countries: namely, Brazil in a fictional city based in Rio de Janeiro and Vice City in the US. The report suggested that the related account would be heavily influenced by Netflix's Narcos (an amazing series about the origins of the cocaine trade).

Leaks suggest you will build your own drug empire, using a mechanic like Vice City Stories, but much deeper - more similar, but bigger than GTA Online. Your car will work like a horse in Red Dead Redemption 2, allowing you to keep your equipment in the trunk, rather than hiding from your character. According to this leak, the game will be set in the 1970s - 80s, buildings have changed / destroyed over time, and the weather is one of the most focused.

Another potential leak for Fireden, however, suggests that it is Liberty City's modern setting for GTA 6, with the start of the game reminiscent of a TV show, The Wire. It also suggests that it is also based on the drug ring, which makes it a consistent theme for all leaks.

Back in the last few years, reports of London's GTA 6 planning began with the Rockstar Games, placing the next possible game at the door of its studio. Rockstar founder Dan Houser said the following back in September 2013 in an interview with Polygon:

"At the moment, it sounds like GTA DNA is modern-ish, American-ish, English-speaking-ish, because that's what it was ... until now."

This has led many to speculate that the GTA may be seeking foreign influence, or returning to the UK. However, Huser also stated that GTA would not return to London in an interview with The Guardian that month:

"I think, my gut feeling is, GTA London was cool at the time, but the games were limited at the time," Houser said. "These days I think we'd like to stop a game in the UK, which will be in London, whatever it is, but I don't know if it will be a GTA game. I think there are a lot of good stories to talk about in the UK. -UK bent on them - I don't think it could really be GTA. "

According to a source who spoke to TechRadar back in March 2016, Rockstar visited the Japanese capital as a reference to a game titled GTA: Tokyo a few years ago. Apparently the idea of ​​the game was finally drawn, but before that the studio met the locals, took a ton of pictures and wanted to get a better feel for the city before embarking on that particular tour.

The source said Rockstar was "committed" to a game with a Japanese setting, even going so far as to mark the name GTA: Toyko, GTA: Bogota and, inexplicably, GTA: Sin City back in 2003. the era of GTA 3 and the City of Vice, but the road system was seen as a problem and was one of the reasons why this idea was eventually discarded.

Rumors of GTA 6 are far from over, so let's start with the historical understanding. To date, GTA games are set in the following locations:

Liberty City - GTA 3, GTA 4, Lost and Damned, The Ballad of Gay Tony

Vice City - GTA Vice City

San Andreas / Los Santos - GTA: San Andreas, GTA 5

If history were to repeat itself, Vice City or Liberty City feel like they are likely to get a refund… but it is likely that the game will explore new areas, which sounds good considering GTA Online's expectations that the world will not be small. . Speaking to Leslie Benzies of Rockstar in 2013, on the GTAVoclock YouTube channel, he said GTA Online's ambition was “To grow this world into a world. We'll add new features to it, new locations all the time. ”
