Multiple playable characters, an evolving GTA Online map and more Notable leaker Tom Henderson, who is primarily known for his (mostly) accurate leaks on Battlefield and Call of Duty, recently posted a video sharing a bunch of alleged GTA 6 details.An in-game reveal? Though GTA 6 wasn’t unveiled during E3 2021, a recent job listing has fuelled existing rumors that it will be revealed during a GTA Online event, an approach games like Call of Duty have had success with in the past.GTA 6 could reward you in cryptocurrency instead of cash Tom Henderson, a well-known Call of Duty and Battlefield leaker, claimed on Twitter that he’s recently heard that some of GTA 6’s missions will reward players in in-game payments of bitcoin rather than cash.No E3 appearance GTA 6 didn’t make an appearance at E3 2021, as we expected.While 2K Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, did host an interactive panel on June 14, the panel focused on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” so it’s not surprising that GTA 6 wasn’t revealed to the world.GTA 6 Florida and Cuba setting rumor has been debunked Another major GTA 6 rumor has been debunked.
The rumor originally appeared on a post on The Medium, by a poster called Tim McDowell who wrote a ‘deep dive’ on the (proven to be accurate) rumors around Red Dead Redemption 2.The piece also included images from 4Chan with apparently ‘leaked’ details about GTA 6.These details claimed the game would be set in Cuba and Florida, and echoed leaker Tom Henderson’s claims the next GTA will have a female protagonist.
Speculation addressed by Take-Two Interactive Unfortunately, Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is remaining tight-lipped about the prospect of GTA 6 and when we could get our hands on it.Take-Two CEO commits to single-player experiences Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two, has said that Rockstar Games will continue to make single-player games, which is likely to be welcome news to those hoping that GTA 6 will offer a single-player experience despite the success of GTA Online.Job listing pointing to a possible trailer? It seems unlikely There has been some excitement in the GTA 6 community after a job posting for a “Cinematic Gameplay Capture Artist” was spotted at Rockstar (via ScreenRant).The description of the role notes that the person would be responsible for shooting the in-game footage that’s used for putting together digital and TV advertising campaigns, which has led some to wonder if a GTA 6 trailer could be on the horizon.New patent suggests smarter NPCs A new patent filed by Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two could point to GTA 6 having improved AI for its NPCs.The patent attempts to trademark a “system and method for virtual navigation in a gaming environment“ and was filed by the publisher in October 2020.
Former insider reality check Those who are hoping to get their hands on Grand Theft Auto 6 sometime soon may be disappointed by a recent tweet from former Rockstar insider Yan2295.Dismissing rumors that the game might be coming soon, they tweeted to say that while the game “is being developed”, it’s “not coming soon”.Nor do they have any idea when it will be announced or released.Even though we should always take statements that don’t come from Rockstar itself with a pinch of salt, this one does at least seem fairly realistic, if extremely vague, as it doesn’t certainly doesn’t look like Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to be coming anytime soon.
GTA Online update has fans looking for clues A recent teaser posted by Rockstar for the new GTA Online update has kicked up some GTA 6 rumors.GTA 6 and Vice City Online domains updated It doesn’t take much for GTA 6 rumours to take off so Take-Two Interactive renewing a couple of relevant domain names will certainly do it.A user of Reddit (via GamesRadar) pointed out in August 2020 that the publishing parent of Rockstar renewed its ownership of the domain names gtavicecityonline and gtavi.GTA 5 Online’s continued success won’t necessarily stop GTA 6 GTA 5 Online has been a huge success for a while now and naturally, this has left some wondering if that success could hold up any potential GTA 6 release.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, in May 2020 Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked in an interview at the Bernstein Annual Strategic Decisions Conference if the publisher would “think twice” about launching a new game when the live service game is still performing well.
The next step for GTA could be VR GTA in VR? It could be on the cards if a posting on LinkedIn from an Australian development studio is anything to go by.In the post, Video Games Deluxe shared that it’s “now gearing up for a new project, a AAA open-world title in VR for Rockstar.2020 marks our 7th year of working exclusively for Rockstar in Sydney and we are excited to taking on this groundbreaking project.” GTA 5 enhanced edition GTA 5 is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X in November 2021, Sony has announced.The game will be enhanced and expanded, and feature a range of visual upgrades and improvements to performance that will take full advantage of the next-gen beefy hardware.GTA 6 release date might have been discovered – and it’s bad news As reported by VentureBeat, Take-Two’s 10-K SEC filing (which lays out financial plans for the next five years) shows that the company expects to spend $89 million on marketing between April 2023, and the end of March 2024 – that’s a huge spike and, as the report points out, more than half the marketing budget expected for any other fiscal year over the next decade.
Take-Two Interactive has 93 games in the works Grand Theft Auto publisher, Take-Two Interactive, has revealed it has 93 “full game releases” planned for the next five years – and we’re hoping GTA 6 is one of them.Story reportedly finished The story for Rockstar’s GTA 6 is apparently finished if a supposed insider is to be believed.Reports of early development It seems that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in the early stages of its development if a report from Kotaku is anything to go by (as of 2020).In the report which is primarily following up on the cultural changes that have taken place at Rockstar after a previous investigation into crunch at the studio, Kotaku has touched on the studio’s future, including the fact that studio management has outlined a plan for “a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series”.Take-Two plays down AAA releases In an earnings call for Take-Two Interactive – the publisher that owns GTA developer Rockstar – shareholders were told to expect the “most robust pipeline” in the company’s history.
However, Take-Two CEO Strauss H.
Zelnick also stressed that some years would be thin on releases – which, given the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, doesn’t make us hopeful for any new GTA titles in the coming year.Dan Houser leaves Rockstar Revealed in a statement by Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive, Houser (who was has been on an extended leave period since spring 2019) will be officially leaving the company on March 11.His brother Sam Houser remains present as president.CJ voice actor dismisses rumors Chris Bellard, the voice actor for GTA San Andreas’ character CJ, has debunked rumors that he will be reprising his role in GTA 6.
Using Instagram, Bellard posted that he’s “not involved in GTA VI at all”.Scouting areas in Florida Speculation around a Florida setting – even a game that encompassed the whole state – has been brimming after a leaked letter was given legitimacy by a well-regarded Rockstar leaker, @Yan2295.Take inspiration from Red Dead Redemption 2 The same leak posted on Pastebin, that claimed GTA 6 will allow players to travel between several big cities, including Liberty City and Vice City, also claimed GTA 6 will take inspiration from Red Dead Redemption 2 and won’t release on current-gen consoles.GTA 6 is coming and there are ideas What we do know about GTA 6 is that ideas are being thrown around for development, even if it’s just in the early stages.
Rockstar President Leslie Benzies teased the game in an interview back in 2013 with Develop magazine.“We don’t know what GTA 6 will be, but we’ve got some ideas,” said Benzies in the interview.- Best PS4 games: the most essential PlayStation 4 releases – GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X: release date, enhancements and what we know.
