GTA 6 - Everything we know so far about the upcoming open-world game

Although the long-awaited GTA 6 is still up in the air, rumors and speculations about the open-world game are already in full swing. In this article, you will learn what is currently known and how the game could possibly look like. So grab your controllers, friends, and dive into the world of GTA 6!

The Possible Setting: Vice City in Modern Miami?

After Rockstar Games gave us impressive open-world scenarios like Los Santos in GTA 5, the question naturally arises as to where the upcoming GTA 6 will be set. Some leaks suggest that the game could be set in a Miami-inspired Vice City, but in the modern era rather than the 80s. If this is true, GTA 6 could bring back the flair of the iconic Malibu Club and the action of the hot Ocean Beach from GTA: Vice City!

Female Protagonist: A Breath of Fresh Air?

Another interesting innovation that emerges from the leaks concerns the characters in the game. For the first time in the history of GTA, a female protagonist could take on the lead role. She could have a Latin American background and wreak havoc in the world of GTA 6 alongside a male character. What exciting stories and missions await us remains to be seen. We are definitely excited!

Gameplay: Tried and True with New Elements in GTA 6

As far as gameplay is concerned, Rockstar Games seems to be sticking to what works. The leaks show scenes that strongly resemble the predecessor GTA 5. However, there are also some innovations that could make the game even more interesting:

  • Cover and movement mechanics: A new cover system, crawling and crouching could provide more tactical options in the game.
  • Vehicle controls: Adjustments to steering wheel position, seat angle, and other vehicle controls could provide more realistic driving experiences.
  • Visual abilities: A new vision ability, similar to Deadeye from Red Dead Redemption, could be used for more strategic combat.

The Map: Bigger Than Ever Before?

Another exciting detail from the rumors and speculations concerns the map of GTA 6. According to some sources, it could be twice as large as Los Santos from GTA 5. That means even more space for wild chases, action-packed missions, and unforgettable explorations. We can't wait to conquer the vast world of GTA 6!

Conclusion: A Long Road to the Release of GTA 6

Although the rumors and speculations surrounding GTA 6 seem promising, the official release is still far away. Estimates suggest that the game could be released no earlier than late 2024 or early 2025. Until then, we can only be patient and keep our eyes open for further leaks and rumors. And who knows, maybe there will soon be the first official gameplay footage from Rockstar Games to admire!
