The upcoming "GTA 6" will be connected to "Red Dead Redemption," series, as the lead protagonist character will reportedly be the descendant of John Marston, the lead character in "Red Dead Redemption" series. As for the female character, the rumor mills are yet to churn out any reports.

The long-rumored game's location is speculated to be in the U.S., as Rockstar was alleged mapping the entire United States for the title. However, Middle East location is also in the cards, as "GTA 6" is expected to have terrorists as the main antagonists, Crossmap reported.

The sixth installment of the "GTA" franchise is also said to be similar to the "GTA: Vice City" and have big names playing important roles. The gameplay will likely be set in the 80's in the Vice City again, as fans think Gosling's character in the "Drive" movie would go well with the location.

The much awaited "Grand Theft Auto 6" release date is expected to be sometime in 2018, which is 5 years from the GTA 5 release back in 2013. Nevertheless, it is better to take these reports with a pinch of salt, as there is no official word from Rockstar as of now.
