"Grand Theft Auto" is one of the most popular games ever developed. As a result, avid fans of the "GTA" franchise have been clamoring for the release of the follow-up installment to "GTA 5."
Many fans have speculated about the release date of "Grand Theft Auto 6" ever since it was announced. While rumors have been rife on the internet, "GTA 6" developer, Rockstar Games, is yet to confirm any of these speculations.
Latest rumors have it that the sixth installment in the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise will be release in 2018, according to Neurogadget. The publication suggests that since Rockstar has a tradition of releasing its "Grand Theft Auto" games after every five years, a 2018 release date for "GTA 6" makes sense.
Rockstar release "Grand Theft Auto 5" back in 2013, and if the company maintains the gap, fans should expect the sixth installment in the franchise in two years time.
"GTA 6" release date news seems exciting and rational. However, since the developer company is yet to make any confirmation, avid fans should take the information with a pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, there are possibilities that the location for the upcoming game will change. Usually, "Grand Theft Auto" stuck to the famous territory, which is a fictitious country in the United States. This time around, it is reported that "Grand Theft Auto 6" action will occur in London.
In an interview with The Guardian back in 2013, "GTA 6" developer Rockstar Games' Dan Houser teased that there is likelihood for the next installment to happen outside the US region.
Houser said, "These days I think we would love to set a game in the UK, set in London, whatever, but I don't know if it would be a GTA game."
Furthermore, it is speculated that the upcoming game will have the biggest map ever. Rockstar is considering bringing together all the maps from the previous games in the franchise to create one map for "GTA 6."
Stay tuned for more details as soon as they trickle in. Here is a sneak peek to have a glimpse of what "GTA 6" will look like when it finally releases:
