Rockstar Games is set to make a major announcement this week, according to insider sources, revealing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. As the game will mark the 25th anniversary of Rockstar Games, fans can expect something big.
Although the official announcement is expected this week, fans will have to wait until December for the trailer drop. However, this news has been a long time coming, as Grand Theft Auto VI was confirmed by Rockstar Games back in February of 2022.
One exciting rumor surrounding the upcoming game is that it will feature a female protagonist, inspired by the infamous Bonnie and Clyde duo. This would be a new and refreshing addition to the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
In terms of the setting, the game will take place in a fictional version of Miami, reminiscent of the beloved GTA: Vice City. Fans can expect to navigate through a sprawling metropolis, filled with crime, intrigue, and of course, thrilling missions.
Interestingly, last year saw a massive leak of 90 videos of gameplay footage from GTA VI. Although the leaked clips provided a sneak peek into the game, it is important to note that they were early and unfinished versions. Placeholder text and debug mode were visible, indicating that they were far from the final product.
One leaked clip in particular showcased the female character robbing a restaurant, adding to the speculation surrounding the inclusion of a female protagonist. Another leaked clip showed a character riding on a “Vice City Metro” train, further hyping up fans about the potential setting.
However, it is worth mentioning that these leaks did not come without controversy. An 18-year-old teenage hacker from the notorious group Lapsus$ was responsible for cyberattacks on Rockstar Games, Uber, and Nvidia. After threatening Rockstar Games, the hacker released the leaked gameplay videos.
As fans eagerly anticipate the official release of Grand Theft Auto VI, they can expect an immersive experience with a new female protagonist and a vibrant and exciting setting inspired by the iconic Vice City. Stay tuned for more updates as Rockstar Games prepares to unveil their latest masterpiece.
