“GTA 6” is Rockstar Games' rumored sequel to GTA 5 that will likely be released for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

While avid "GTA" fans will have to wait for some years to see "GTA 6," rumor mills have it that players may meet Osama Bin Laden and a bigger map comprising of all previous "GTA" maps.

There have been reports that "GTA 6" may be delayed because of the huge success of "GTA Online." However, Rockstar might be giving the next game production the attention it deserves. Sources indicate that "GTA 6" will feature missions based on real-world events, according to the fan-made site Grandtheftautogta6.net.   

Players will get an opportunity to face the world-renowned terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden in Bonus International Missions. Further circulating rumors are focusing on what former Rockstar North President Leslie Benzies said back in 2012.

Speaking with Digital Trends via Polygon, Benzies said, "Of course at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas, and in that context reimagining Vice City would be very interesting."

A map unveiled via a Reddit thread showed that the maps from previous "GTA" titles will be included into the "GTA 6" maps, something that is in line with what Benzies had said before. Reddit user VermillionDemonFox said that the map is unique as compared with the previous maps. The source as well mentioned that all maps from previous games in the "GTA" franchise will be put together.

Meanwhile, the week of "GTA Online" is underway and it is expected to end this Thursday, May 5. There are reports that the free online game is garnering about 100 percent profit margins to the game developer. As a result, it has been rumored that Rockstar Games may be concentrating more on keeping the online game fresh as opposed to developing "GTA 6."

In celebrating the new "In and Out" update of "GTA Online" that brings a new Adversary Mode, players have an opportunity to earn twice the GTA money and reputation points (RP) during this week. Moreover, players can gain certain ammunitions with up to 50 percent discount.

Watch the sneak peek below for more information on the upcoming "GTA 6."
