After the announcement that Grand Theft Auto 5 would be making its way to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, Grand Theft Auto 6 for many gamers seemed like it was a long way off, with some beginning to believe that the world would be stuck with Los Santos forever. After a delay to the next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto 5 as well, new Grand Theft Auto content seemed far off.However, recent news has confirmed that Rockstar has been working on the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, stating not only that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development, but that said development is well underway. This gave hope to the more skeptical fans out there who believed that Rockstar would be avoiding creating the next Grand Theft Auto game so long as the studio could keep remastering or remaking Grand Theft Auto 5.RELATED: Insider Makes Prediction on Grand Theft Auto 6 Release DateFollowing the official confirmation of Grand Theft Auto 6, speculation has run wild within the gaming communities, with fans theorizing when the game will release, where it will be set, and the kind of protagonist or protagonists it could feature. Insider information is something that many look to in order to get a better, more realistic idea of what a future title will look like, and what can be expected from it. One such insider is now claiming that Grand Theft Auto 6 may involve a name change.

The insider reports that rather than Grand Theft Auto 6 simply be referred to as Grand Theft Auto 6, it will instead be called Grand Theft Auto Vice. Apparently, this is due to the likelihood of the game taking place in Vice City, something fans have theorized since the release of the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy. This would also allow Rockstar to use the letters "VI," which could be a play on words, acting as both the beginning of "Vice" or as the number six in Roman numerals. Vice could also have a connection to "vice units" in the police, which deal with drugs and other illegal activities.

Since the announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6's development, many insiders have come out with apparent news for fans of Grand Theft Auto. One source claimed that fans should be ready for disappointment with the latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, while another made a bold prediction that 2023 is when the world could be seeing the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. With all of these sources, though, it's important to remember that there is rarely official confirmations backing them, so it's best to hold off hype or disappointment until then.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in development.
