After Grand Theft Auto 5‘s unusually long life, Rockstar has finally confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development, much to the delight of fans. The upcoming game will continue the highly successful franchise that has been the benchmark for open world gaming for decades, and it has high hopes to live up to. In addition to competing with GTA 5it will also have to deal with the many other open-world franchises that have also proven to be incredibly immersive.
Rockstar has been quiet about the details surrounding the upcoming game, but there have been enough leaks and rumors to keep gamers busy. If we are to believe recent reports, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be vastly different from its predecessors, although the changes could ultimately be good for the series. The upcoming game may also have longevity as leaks claim it will be constantly updated.
New Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto 6
The biggest source of leaks comes from Bloomberg. According to industry insider Jason Schreier, Rockstar Games has gone through major changes in an effort to transform into a company that is more compassionate and forward-thinking. The company has done this by narrowing the gender pay gap and by taking steps to reduce the amount of crunch time its employees are exposed to. Rockstar has also toned down the kind of offensive content in its games. This has been seen, for example, in Grand Theft Auto 5, who had removed transphobic jokes. Schreier also claimed that a Grand Theft Auto: Online mode called “Cops ‘n’ Crooks” was canceled after the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police.
According to Schreier Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in development since 2014 and will reflect many of the changes that have taken place at Rockstar. Therefore, the game will be the first time in the series that gamers will have a female protagonist. Specifically, she will be a Latina half of a couple inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, and according to journalist Tom Henderson, she will be a smart woman who is good with technology and hacking. The Bloomberg report also claims that developers are making sure they don’t “knock off” by making jokes that target marginalized groups. This would be a drastic change for the franchise, which in the past has shown reverence for nothing and has been willing to aim its crude humor at any target.
Grand Theft Auto 6 setting
Previous rumors had suggested that GTA 6 was developed under the codename Project Americas, implying that it would take place in North America and South America. Bloomberg’s report gives credence to this report, as it claims that developers originally wanted to include both North America and South America in Grand Theft Auto 6. However, this turned out to be too big a project and developers decided on a fictional version of Miami and the surrounding areas. This suggests that GTA 6 will take place in Vice City.
However, the map will not be static and will be constantly updated with new missions and cities. This is reportedly done to avoid exposing Rockstar’s employees to crunch. It could also suggest that GTA 6 will have a long life like its predecessor as the updates would ensure that the game constantly has new content to keep gamers engaged. Although some gamers didn’t like it GTA 5extended life, a return to single player DLC with GTA 6 could be a good move because GTA 4 proved the company’s ability to deliver great DLC.
Whatever gamers get will be stunning to watch, if the reports are to be believed. According to journalist Chris Kippel, the engine Rockstar uses to develop GTA 6 is ahead of its time and gamers won’t be disappointed by the visuals. He also claimed that the goal is to surpass Unreal Engine, which has shown it can produce phenomenal visuals with Unreal Engine 5. Rockstar has shown it is able to present breathtaking visuals with games such as Red Dead Redemption 2and the potential to see the company outdo itself is exciting.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming
The changes at Rockstar are sure to benefit developers, though Schreier claims some employees are concerned about the game’s slow progress, and some question whether the company can still produce the masterpieces that make it a centerpiece of the game world. made. There have also been rumors about the upcoming game’s story. In June, notable leaker @Matheusvictorbr claimed that the game will follow twins as they avenge the deaths of their parents at the hands of a cartel. While the male twins try to work for the government, the woman tries to work from the inside out and becomes a ruthless hit man. The leaker also claimed that an Easter Egg image was found in the remastered GTA trilogy, with a neat house in a suburb, came out GTA 6.
Journalist Tom Henderson Has Claimed Rockstar Is Planning To Release The Next Grand Theft Auto game between 2024 and 2025. The claim is plausible given that Take-Two Interactive’s 2020 10-K SEC filing predicted the company would spend $89 million on marketing between April 2023 and March 2024. While the wait will likely frustrate gamers, it will also allow more current-generation consoles to infiltrate the gaming market, allowing GTA 6 to have the record-breaking launch that Rockstar is probably looking for.
Over time, Rockstar will eventually reveal more details about: Grand Theft Auto 6. It’s unlikely to happen at Gamescom 2022, as the company will likely want its own spotlight at the unveiling of the highly anticipated game. According to well-known leaker Tez2, a GTA 6 some announcement may be on the way. Whatever Rockstar is cooking up, Take-Two is very confident in it, as CEO Strauss Zelnick has stated that the game will “set creative standards for the series, our industry and all entertainment.”
