GAME# GTA 6 RELEASE DATE RUMORS, NEWS, AND SPECULATION.
The GTA 6 Release
Date Is Still At Least A Couple Of Years Away, According To A Report From Bloomberg. Rockstar Insiders
Say That The GTA 6 Launch Date Is
Still “Two Years Away” And Will Be Set In A Vice City-Style Miami, Featuring A Latina,
Female Protagonist. The Only Other Rumour Is That We Could See The First Official GTA 6 Trailer Sometime
In 2022.
GTA 6 Leaks
On September 18,
2022, 90 Videos Showing Off 53 Minutes And 26 Seconds Worth Of Test Footage
Were Leaked In One Of The Biggest Data Breaches In
History. In The Early Test Footage, We Can See The Player Taking The Role Of
Both A Male And A Female Character As Part Of A Bonnie And Clyde-Like Duo Named
Jason And Lucia, As Reported By Bloomberg Earlier
That Year. One Of The Standout Clips Shows The Player Controlling Lucia As Both
She And Jason Hold Up A Diner. Other Videos Show Lucia Standing On A Street
Corner, Watching The Traffic Go By In Broad Daylight, While Jason Visits A
Nightclub.
Since The Footage
Became Public, The GTA 6 Leaker Has Now Been
Arrested. According To The City Police, The 17-Year-Old Suspect Has
Now Appeared In Court And Pleaded ‘Not Guilty’ To Two Charges Of Computer
Misuse Offences, One Related To The GTA 6 Leaks, And Two Counts Of Violating
His Bail.
GTA 6 News
Despite The Major
Setback, Rockstar Has Said In A Statement That
While It Is “Extremely Disappointed” That Early Footage Of The Upcoming Sandbox
Game Has Been Leaked, Work On “The Next Grand Theft Auto Will Continue As Planned”.
The Developers Also Assure Fans That They “Will Update Everyone Again Soon And,
Of Course, Will Properly Introduce You To This Next Game When It Is Ready”.
GTA 6 Has Been In
Active Development, At The Very Least, Since The Community Update On February 4,
When Rockstar Confirmed That “Active Development For The Next Entry In The Grand
Theft Auto Series Is Well Underway”. Whatever It Is, We Can Rest Assured It
Will Be “Special”. As Part Of The Studio’s Announcement That It Was Winding
Down Support For Red Dead Online, Rockstar Confirmed That More Resources Were
Being Diverted To “The Next Entry In The Grand Theft Auto Series” And That It
Wants To Ensure The New Game “Exceed[S] Players’ Expectations.”
In A 2019 Interview
With Gamesindustry.Biz, Take-Two
Interactive CEO, Strauss Zelnick, Suggests That Better Development Tools And
Bigger Teams Could Shorten The Gaps Between Game Releases. It Could Also Mean
That “Games May Be A Bit Shorter” While Still Being Robustly Supported
Post-Launch.
Mitigating Crunch Time Is Another Reason The Next GTA
Could Be Shorter, As Kotaku Says In Its Report In 2020, “One Plan That
Management Has Laid Out For The Next Game, A New Entry In The Grand Theft Auto Series,
Is To Start Out With A Moderately Sized Release (Which, By Rockstar’s Standards,
Would Still Be A Large Game) That Is Then Expanded With Regular Updates Over
Time, Which May Help Mitigate Stress And Crunch”. Rockstar Employees Are
Speaking Out About The Positive Changes The Company Is Making After The
Scrutiny It Attracted Following The Crunch Time Over Red Dead Redemption 2. However,
There’s Still No Confirmed Timeline For The GTA 6 Release Date, As It Could
Still Be Years Away.
GTA 6 Story Rumours
Some Details From
The Leaks Seem To Correlate With A Few Other Rumours Mentioned In Tom Henderson’s July 2021 Video, In Which He Discusses
The Theory That GTA 6 Is Set In Modern-Day Vice City And Not The ‘80s, As Some
Suspected. Judging By Leaked Footage Of Jason Entering A Vice City Metro Train,
This Seems To Be Accurate.
As For The GTA 6
Map Itself, Some Fans Speculate That If The Calculations From The GTA 6 Leak
Were True, This Version Of Vice City And The Surrounding Areas Could Be Twice As Large As GTA 5’s Los Santos. Rumours Also
Suggest That The Campaign’s Map Will Change Over Time Through DLC To Include
New Areas Or Update Existing Ones Based On Whatever Theme The DLC Has. On That
Note, The New GTA Online Mode May Take Place On An ‘Evolving Map’ That Changes
With Every Update, Much Like How The Fortnite Map Changes With Every New
Season.
While The Leaks
Have Shown Off The New Female Playable Character, Rumours Were Circulating
About This Long Beforehand. Eagle-Eyed Users From GTA Forums Have
Found Some Clues, Keeping Track Of Some Of The Voice Talent. One Actor, Natonia
Monet, Originally Lists On Her CV A Performance As “Tamara” Under A Project
Known By The Codename “Fireball”. This Profile Has Since Been Altered, But As
One Of Their Users Points Out, “Fireball” Is The Name Of A Pitbull Song, And He
Is From Miami – Which Is Telling As The Inspiration For The Original GTA Vice
City Was The Drug-Infested Beaches Of The 1980s In Miami Vice. As It Turns Out,
This May Not Be The Main Character, As She Is Named Lucia In The Footage.
The Appearance Of A
Female Protagonist In GTA 6’s Campaign Makes Sense, As Dan Houser Has Answered
Questions On Why There Weren’t Playable Women Beforehand In The GTA Series. During
A 2013 Interview With The
Guardian, He Explained Why A Woman Wasn’t Playable In GTA V, And How
The Team Could Make It Happen In The Future. “We Didn’t Really Think About It
This Time [Of GTA V]. 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, ‘We’ve Got X And Y, So We Need Z’, We
Weren’t Trying To Do It Off A Checklist – I Don’t Think That Will Ever Give You
Something That’s Believable Or Engaging.
“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.”
GTA 6 Gameplay
As For What GTA 6
Gameplay We Can See From The Leaks, There’s Not Much That’s Different From GTA 5.
We See The Player Holding Up A Diner While Trying To Keep The Hostages From
Escaping By Shooting Them In The Back As They Run. We Also See Jason And Lucia Evading
The Cops By Stealing One Of Their Cars And Driving Around The Block. Jason Also
Leans Out Of A Moving Car While Shooting With An Assault Rifle.
Some Raw Test
Footage Shows More About The Movement Mechanics, Including A Cover System,
Crouching, And Crawling. The Playable Character Can Also Cover Their Face With
Their Hands Or Weapon To Prevent Headshots.
At One Point In The
Footage, We See Jason Looking In A Convenience Store While Using A New Vision
Ability. It Looks Similar To How Deadeye In Red Dead Redemption Works, But
Right Now, We Only See It Adjust The Colour Of The Footage.
