'GTA 6' Release Date, News, Update: Leaks Suggest Features Include Carjacking and Drug-running

All the devoted "GTA 6" fans are piecing together the rumors, facts, and gossip in anticipation of its release. The "GTA`s" contribution to the world's gaming culture s unquestionable, as it has been known to innovate the sandbox genre with every outing. The realistic features of the game, punch-ups, carjacking, drug-running, the possible models of vehicles to steal, as well as the high octane action that it's been known for only strengthens the hype.

There is no solid news about the launch of "GTA 6," but one thing is certain, it sure won`t be this year. However, we can still enjoy "GTA Online" and "GTA 5."

Going back to the rumors. The most recent and hopeful rumor about Grand Theft Auto comes from a Youtube Channel called The Know. The theory supports the year of release as 2021-2022 but as an inside source of "GTA" states, the project will change the code such as Project Americas. Apparently, the players will be able to fly between the US and South America in the game, and the set in Vice City (the Rockstar version of Miami) could have influences from popular shows and movies such as Narcos and Tom Cruise` Made in America, focusing more on drug-running. But this remains a theory; a rumor since Rockstar did not comment on anything.

Back in 2013, Rockstar President Leslie Benzies gave out a little teaser in a magazine “We don’t know what "GTA 6" will be, but we’ve got some ideas,” is not much but at least we know it will sure be a "GTA 6."

“We’ve got about 45 years’ worth of ideas we want to do,” he added. “We’ll pick the right ones.”

“It comes from the idea first. Where it is going to be set is the first question. That then defines the missions; you’re doing different things in LA than in New York or Miami.

“The map and story get worked up together, and the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the mission in.”

It is not much, but at least there is something authentic and comes directly from the source. From this statement, fans came up with numerous rumors and ideas about the map which is expected to be massive, including a teleportation system that cuts down the time between the cities and a '70s theme.

The question is if Rockstar can complete the set Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas, and South America, as an upgrade will really step up the game.

A female protagonist is more in demand or a wish from the fans but as co-founder and lead writer Dan House said in an interview the company didn`t really think about that “We didn’t really think about it this time.

New heroes, storylines and features are expected from "GTA 6" but for now, fans will just have to be content with rumors.
