While canonically part of the 3D era GTA universe, this connection was only ever minor easter eggs, with GTA and Manhunt never crossing over meaningfully. Rockstar is said to be focusing on enhancing gameplay and features where it makes sense to spend dev time, rather than making the game span several decades story-wise, a development task that is apparently "too demanding" in comparison.Ĭarcer City previously appeared in a different Rockstar IP - Manhunt. Instead, he says that the game's setting will be Carcer City, as well as Cuba, Columbia and the Miami-inspired Vice City from 2002's GTA: Vice City. Matheus couldn't go into detail about how the two would meet or whether players can play as both characters, but did mention that the brother goes up against the sister's cartel and the siblings find out about each other the "hard way." The main characters aside, the leaker describes the next GTA game as the "first" in the video game industry to really dive deep into the cartel/military way of life.Īs for GTA 6's setting, Matheus denies the rumors that the game will be set in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, as per the infamous " Project Americas" leak, which we've been told is mostly fake. However, his sister will seek revenge against the cartel her own way, working her way up the ranks of the very same cartel that killed their parents to become one of their hitwomen.

The main campaign itself will be set some time in the 2020s, possibly 2023 or 2024, as the two siblings eventually meet up as adults but on opposite sides.Īpparently, the male sibling becomes an agent for the DOA, a parody of the real-world government organization, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The game will reportedly explore this tragic event in its prologue, which could be set in Brazil. According to the longtime Rockstar insider, Grand Theft Auto 6's story will follow twin siblings, one male, one female, who are separated following the death of their parents at the hands of the cartel in 2003. Thanks to Matheusvictorbr, we found out some exclusive new details about GTA 6. We also have some GTA Online and GTA IV info for good measure. Among the videos was one i which the player takes on the role of both a male and a female character as part of a Bonnie and Clyde-like duo named Jason and Lucia.This time around, the latest info we have about Grand Theft Auto VI concerns the game's potential storyline and when, as well as where, GTA 6 could be set.
#WHEN DOES GTA VI COME OUT SERIES#
This was seemingly confirmed in a series of leaked videos featuring test footage in what was one of the biggest data breaches in history. Rockstar hasn’t officially revealed any details pertaining to the next Grand Theft Auto game, but it’s believed that it will feature the first ever main female playable character.


It’s possible that 2023 could see the release of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, but I wouldn’t bet on the actual game launching. In response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigation for the company’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft claimed “the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to be released in 2024.” In addition to the Bloomberg report, even Microsoft claims GTA 6 will release in 2024.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean the game is close to being done.Ī report from Bloomberg over the summer cited Rockstar insiders who claim that the GTA 6 launch date is still “two years away.” This would seemingly indicate a release date in late 2024 or early 2025 at the soonest. This means that development on the game likely started well before this announcement. Grand Theft Auto 6 is in active development, as of February of this year. Rockstar Games already confirmed earlier this year that GTA 6 is in development, but they’ve offered nothing more since then.Īs we prepare to turn the calendar page on 2022 and look forward to what the new year will bring, can we expect to see GTA 6 release? Here’s what we know so far. Despite 2023 already being jam-packed with highly anticipated games, there’s one title that could steal the thunder.
