After years of anticipation and speculation, the gaming world has been electrified by the official confirmation from Rockstar that Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is under active development. This news came in February 2022, putting an end to the rumors and starting a new phase of waiting and speculation for millions of fans worldwide.
The anticipation of GTA 6 has not only the general public excited, but also celebrities.
And of course, folks can’t help but point out how freaking long it’s been…
Maybe she’s frugal, bro…stop being all judgy.
As the successor to GTA 5—a title that sold nearly 110 million copies and broke the Epic Game Store when offered as a freebie—GTA 6 has some serious shoes to fill. The details about the game remain a mystery for the most part, but leaks and rumors have given fans a glimpse into what might be expected.
What Do We Know About GTA 6?
Leaks from September 2022 suggested that GTA 6 might feature multiple protagonists, a feature that was also present in GTA 5. In addition, locations from Vice City, one of the most popular settings in the GTA universe, are also returning. However, these details are based on leaks and rumors, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. The version of GTA 6 currently in development may differ significantly from the final product gamers will eventually play.
Specifically, the leaks suggest two playable characters, Lucia and Jason, potentially inspired by the infamous crime duo Bonnie and Clyde. Footage also hinted at a modern-day setting, with one scene even showing a pedestrian using a smartphone. This detail contradicts more minor rumors about a potential ’80s setting. Other leaked features include a modern rail car labeled “Vice City Metro” and a “WhatUp!” messaging system. However, these features, exciting as they may be, are subject to change until Rockstar makes an official public reveal of GTA 6.
When Is GTA 6 Expected to Release?
As for the release date, no official announcement has been made yet. But financial projections from Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, hint at a possible release during fiscal year 2024. The statement suggested that the company expects to deliver a 14% compound annual growth rate over the three years from Take-Two’s Fiscal Years 2021 through 2024. Analysts believe that releasing a major title like GTA 6 could drive this substantial growth.
It’s important to note that all these details are speculative and based on unofficial leaks. While the anticipation for GTA 6 continues to build, fans of the series are advised to stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official announcements and confirmations.
While we have some information based on leaks and financial projections, much about GTA 6 still needs to be discovered, including detailed information about its setting, characters, and gameplay. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
Conclusion
The world of GTA has always been one of excitement, thrill, and unbridled creativity. From the sun-soaked streets of Vice City to the gritty underworld of Liberty City, each installment has taken players on unforgettable journeys. As we wait for more official information on GTA 6, one thing is certain: the next chapter of this iconic franchise is poised to deliver a gaming experience like no other.
