With Red Dead Redemption 2 having released nearly three years ago now, fans of Rockstar Games are wondering what's next from the studio. Rockstar Games has yet to reveal its next original project, but rumors are strongly pointing to its next game being none other than Grand Theft Auto 6. And while fans won't get to see the highly-anticipated game anytime soon, it seems as though they may have a better idea of when it will be available.

Twitter user ViewerAnon, who is mostly known for accurately leaking news from the film industry, recently touched on Grand Theft Auto 6. According to them, Rockstar Games once had an internal release date set for Grand Theft Auto 6 for a late 2023 release. It's possible that those plans have changed, but that was the latest planned release window for Grand Theft Auto 6 according to ViewerAnon's information.

With fans so hotly anticipating Grand Theft Auto 6, ViewerAnon's message understandably raised quite a few questions. In a follow-up tweet, ViewerAnon explained that Grand Theft Auto 6 is not going to be announced prior to the launch of Grand Theft Auto 5's next-gen upgrade. They also pointed out that Red Dead Redemption 2 was first revealed just one year before it was released, and so if GTA 6 follows suit, then fans should be able to expect a late 2022 reveal for the game.

Of course, this is assuming that any of this information is accurate. While ViewerAnon is a far more reputable leaker than many others, it's always best to take unverified information like this with a grain of salt. Not only that, but it's also possible that these claims are based on outdated information. As ViewerAnon themselves have pointed out, situations like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could very well have delayed Rockstar's plans when it comes to Grand Theft Auto 6.

The reason why Grand Theft Auto 6's possible release window got brought up in the first place is because Rockstar Games is hiring testers, which is usually a sign that something is in active development. This combined with a Bully trademark renewal fueled speculation that Rockstar Games could be nearing the end of production on Grand Theft Auto 6 or a Bully sequel, though it's also possible that the testers will merely be testing content related to Rockstar's live-service titles.

Even though Grand Theft Auto 5 first released in 2013, Rockstar Games has continued to support its online component with regular content updates. And as long as Grand Theft Auto Online remains as popular as it is, fans of the franchise can expect Rockstar to continue releasing new content for the game. Eventually, though, fans should be able to look forward to the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
