It's been nearly a decade since Grand Theft Auto 5 was first released, and Rockstar Games has just recently announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in active development. Official information on Grand Theft Auto 6's development begins and ends with the fact that it's currently being worked on, but rumors about it come out at a regular pace.
The latest Grand Theft Auto 6 rumors stem from a report by Xfire, citing Rockstar Games insider Matheusvictorbr. This potential leak reiterates some information mentioned in previous leaks about the game. It claims that Grand Theft Auto 6 will have two protagonists, a male and a female, and that they will be siblings. This new leak adds that a drug cartel killed the protagonists' parents and caused them to be separated, with the brother growing up to work for the GTA 6-equivalent of the DEA and the sister becoming a prominent member of the cartel.
According to Xfire's report, GTA 6 will have multiple settings. It backs up previous reports that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be set in Vice City, but adds that the prologue will potentially be set in an area based on Brazil. It also claims that the game will feature Carcer City, which may be familiar to Rockstar Games fans. For the uninitiated, Carcer City is actually where horror game Manhunt is set, so if this rumor is true, it seems that a greater link between GTA and Manhunt will be established.
As far as gameplay goes, the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 leak says that the game will have destructible buildings and a military outfitted with state-of-the-art weaponry. The report doesn't focus much on gameplay details, but previous leaks have suggested that Grand Theft Auto 6's online map will evolve over time, with comparisons being made to Fortnite. Previous reports have also said that Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature jetpacks, though gameplay details are hard to come by otherwise.
And finally, the report potentially narrows down the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date. It doesn't provide a specific date, but does say that Grand Theft Auto 6 is planned for a 2024 release. This more or less lines up with many other reports by various insiders, so it's easy to believe. Of course, fans should take this and all the other information in the report with a massive grain of salt, but it will be interesting to see if any of the claims turn out to be true.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development.
