(Pocket-lint) - It appears like solely yesterday that Rockstar Video games was releasing its critically-acclaimed Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2, letting us free into an enormous frontier world of bandits and shoot-outs. It absolutely cannot have been that lengthy beforehand when it set free the insanely profitable Grand Theft Auto 5, can it? 

Effectively, it very a lot can, really. GTA 5 might have since been re-released to elongate its lifespan, nevertheless it initially got here out in 2013. So much has modified since then, and with a brand new era of consoles lastly launched, comprised of the PS5 and Xbox Sequence X and S, and we now know for positive that one other recreation in Rockstar's most well-known franchise may very well be on its manner. 

We have gathered all the things we learn about Grand Theft Auto 6 proper right here to your delectation - let's get right down to it. 

GTA 6 launch date

Beginning with potential launch dates, it is value providing you with a little bit of background. Whereas GTA 5 was launched in 2013, Rockstar could not instantly flip its full consideration to growing a sequel. It apparently did begin work on GTA 6 in 2014, however in the meantime had the small matter of Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 to make, not to mention the PC, PS4 and Xbox One variations of GTA 5, and the PC and Google Stadia variations of Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2. 

All of these take work, however at the moment are out of the way in which, and Rockstar has lastly damaged cowl to announce that it's certainly engaged on GTA 6, and that whereas it hasn't bought something to share proper now, extra information will come in the end.

GTA 6 platforms 

In all probability the opposite key element contained in that first huge leak round GTA 6 involved the platforms it is prone to launch on. Clearly, GTA 5 got here out towards the tail finish of a console era, releasing on the PS3 and Xbox 360, then being re-released with higher efficiency and graphics on the subsequent set of consoles.

Apparently, that sample will not be repeated with GTA 6, although. The leak means that the sport might be unique to the Ps 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Sequence X and S.

Provided that these consoles could have been out for at the very least a few years upon launch, that is solely credible. 

Nevertheless, on condition that Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 took quite a bit much less time to come back to PC gamers than GTA 5 did years in the past, it might be barely stunning if GTA 6 does not additionally make its method to PC inside a 12 months of launch. 

GTA 6 gameplay

Ready for particulars on a brand new GTA recreation typically entails one main space of hypothesis - the place will or not it's set? Whereas characters and storylines are simply as topic to attention-grabbing particulars, there's one thing about GTA's setting that appears like essentially the most pivotal alternative Rockstar has to make. Whether or not it is Liberty Metropolis, Los Santos or one other metropolitan space, the playground wherein gamers will run riot is a giant query mark hanging over the sport. 

In the meanwhile that is the place hypothesis is targeted, with GTA On-line gamers at one level turning into satisfied that GTA 6 will happen in Vice Metropolis, GTA 3's much-loved, neon-soaked various model of Miami. The reasoning behind this? GTA On-line's racing DLC, Open Wheels, has a race circuit that appears suspiciously just like the define of a map that would come with Miami, in addition to a piece of Mexico. The define does look pretty clear, as you may see within the picture under, however clearly Rockstar is conserving its personal counsel at this stage. 

This concept had a bit bit extra element added to it by an alleged leak, which purportedly got here by way of the pal of a disgruntled ex-Rockstar worker. If the knowledge is to be believed, the sport might be set in Florida, and have a map larger than GTA 5 and Crimson Lifeless Redemption 2 mixed, masking three cities together with Vice Metropolis. Gamers will apparently be capable to management 4 completely different protagonists, increasing on GTA 5's three major characters.

One other map leak seems to point out extra of the entire map, together with a bit that followers are speculating may very well be based mostly on the Kennedy House Centre, based mostly on its structure. Nevertheless, as traditional there is not a lot to validate this as actual info.

Extra intel comes from a Reddit poster that has collated numerous leaked pictures collectively to create an idea of what the map may appear like. It is expansive and options an enormous ocean - such an empty area that we're fairly skeptical that it will find yourself being actual, until Rockstar is taking the sequence in a really new, nautical course. 

Now recent rumours have circulated that the sport's character roster will embody a feminine playable character for the primary time within the sequence, one thing that is lengthy overdue in our minds. The data comes courtesy of Tom Henderson, a longtime leaker who's made correct claims up to now. 

There have additionally been options elsewhere that Liberty Metropolis (from GTA III), San Andreas (from GTA: San Andreas, natch), and the Midwest may characteristic, or possibly even all the above for various sections.

Regardless, anticipate the sport to push the boundaries of what the brand new hardware from Sony and Microsoft is able to. There is no assure that the sport world might be larger and extra detailed than the map from GTA 5, however that is definitely how issues appear to be trending.

GTA 6 story

The principle story of every GTA recreation up to now has concerned criminality, as a rule, however the precise flavour is at all times up for change. An important bit of knowledge in relation to GTA 6's narrative is that Rockstar's co-founder, Dan Houser, left the studio in March 2020. 

That implies that one of many studio's key tastemakers and writers has departed, somebody who, collectively along with his brother Sam, has formed the franchise's tone from the very starting. 

Now, on the one hand, given the probably timing of the sport there is a good probability that Dan Houser was capable of have stable enter and affect on the script and story earlier than his departure. On the opposite, if he was on his manner out it's extremely potential that he wasn't practically so concerned. Which means we may very well be in for a change of voice for GTA 6, one thing that was indicated by experiences that the story was rebooted after Houser left, which surfaced in November 2021.

Precisely how that might manifest is tough to guess at, nevertheless it's an attention-grabbing growth for Rockstar, that is for positive. One other latest hearsay was began by an outdated patent filed by Rockstar in 2017:

It positive sounds credible that Rockstar may very well be seeking to inform a narrative that entails gentrification and the creep of capitalism - fertile floor for some pretty straightforward satire, dare we are saying it? A altering metropolis that responds to the gamers actions within the story, although, is a fairly compelling thought. 

The most recent tidbit to floor in regards to the recreation's story pertains to its setting in time. Since individuals are speculating that it may return to Vice Metropolis, there have been questions over whether or not the sport might be set within the 1980's once more. In keeping with prolific leaker Tom Henderson, although, it will be a modern-day title like GTA V.

Henderson has been confirmed proper a good few instances up to now, so that is an attention-grabbing growth for positive. We'll hold including extra particulars to this round-up as and when new info comes out or precise bulletins are made, so you'll want to hold checking again.
