Rockstar Games has received much credit for it "Grand Theft Auto" series. In fact, avid fans have been clamoring for any bit of information on the release date of "GTA 6," spurring many theories.
Many reports suggest that the sixth installment in the "GTA" franchise will come out between 2018 and 2020. There is indication that Rockstar has been giving a five-year waiting period between sequels. Since "GTA 5" release back in 2013, it is speculated that the game developer is planning to maintain a five-year gap to release "GTA 6" in 2018, according to Neurogadget.
On the contrary, there is a seven-year gap between the release of "GTA III" and "GTA IV." As a result, some fans believe that Rockstar Games may choose to go back to this trend and release "GTA VI" in 2020.
Further rumors about the release date of "GTA 6" indicate that the game will come out with the release of new generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft. It is common to see games releasing with new and enhanced consoles. Sony's PS5 and Microsoft's Xbox Two are slated for a launch sometime between 2017 and 2019.
Meanwhile, there are reports that "GTA 6" will sport a female character voiced by actress Eva Mendes. Her lifetime partner, Ryan Gosling, will reportedly voice a new male character.
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."
