GTA 6 will not appear at E3 2016 due to expected 2018 release date for GTA V sequel

GTA V's Rockstar Editor size for Xbox One and PS4 versions is also the same with the PC version.

Rockstar may not present GTA 6 at all at their E3 2016 conference as the game is not slated for release until 2018 but the presentation will include updates for GTA V DLCs.

The game developer seems to be still focused on developing the current GTA V video game instead of the Grand Theft Auto 6. It has been several years after the current game was launched but it is still easily one of the most popular shooter titles across all platforms.

It was thought earlier that the game would be set in Tokyo, Japan but it was ultimately cancelled. The Liberty City rumors were also squashed as it would most likely end up as a DLC for the current game.

Take-Two Interactive said that Rockstar will stick to their traditional timeframe for releasing games instead of every year which means that GTA 6 will be released sometime in 2018, Neurogadget has learned. In addition, the onslaught of DLC for GTA V does make the developers appear to be very busy.

One of the recent DLCs for the current Grand Theft Auto game is the "Finance and Felony" update for GTA V Online which allows players to develop their own crime ring and to takeover other players' businesses. There were also talks of a Liberty City DLC expansion for the game's story mode.

GTA 6 could be set instead in San Fierro or Las Venturas, ChristianToday reported. The two locations were supposed to be featured on the current game but the resources for consoles were limited at the time and the project was scrapped.

Blaine County and Los Santos replaced the aforementioned cities instead on GTA V. Vice City could also be a possible choice but it would have the smallest chance considering that it was even smaller than San Andreas.

Rockstar is expected to feature Red Dead Redemption 2 instead but it was pulled out from Sony's E3 conference. GTA 6 would have to wait until next year's E3 as the release date is expected to be sometime in 2018 at the earliest while GTA V Online DLCs continue to release throughout the year.
