Here are some of the most discussed rumors about the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto 6."
New female character?
One of the most recent speculation around the Internet is the inclusion of a female lead character. According to Christian Today (which cited gta6grandtheftauto.com), some gamers are indeed looking forward to seeing a woman protagonist.
Remember that Rockstar Games head writer Dan Houser earlier faced the same question during the "GTA 5" release.
When asked whether the female protagonist idea came to his mind, he said, "We didn't really think about it this time, that's not to say that we couldn't or we wouldn't. This character set is just what came to us: it wasn't,..In the future, could we do a game with a lead female character? Of course. We just haven't found the right game for it yet, but it's one of the things that we always think about. It didn't feel natural for this game but definitely for the right game in the future - with the right themes, it could be fantastic. But for 'GTA V', this was the organic thing that came up, these were the characters what would display the themes we wanted to think about." (quote fromgta6grandtheftauto.com)
Location
Another hot "GTA 6" topic is the location. Venture Capital Post earlier reported that there have been rumors that location will either be in Paris, Brazil or Las Vegas. There are also speculations that it will be a fictional city inspired by New York or Miami. Movoto, however, suggested that is should be Portland, Oregon since the area has at least nine gun stores, over 80 different strip clubs, many shops, and six police stations.
Master Herald on the other hand says it might be London. What Culture even listed seven reasons why London should be the next location. Plus, there were also speculations that it would return to Liberty City or Vice City.
Leslie Benzies, Rockstar Games president, acknowledged the importance of the location of the game. "Where is it going to be set is the first question. Then that defines the missions; you're doing different things in LA than in New York or Miami. Of course at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas," Benzies was quoted by Inquisitr saying.
Release Date
While Rockstar has not yet announced anything, gta6grandtheftauto.com predicts that it would likely come out in the range 2018 to 2020. It also claimed that all reports saying that the game would come out in 2017 are all "fake."
"GTA 6" is believed to be available on PS4 and Xbox One.
