To do so, Rockstar is apparently utilizing an enhanced version of its proprietary engine, RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). GTA is known for its impressive visuals, and for GTA 6 to set the world on fire, it needs to look as good or better than most modern games. Still, it’s heartening to at least hear that development hasn’t slowed, meaning we might actually get to play this thing within the next couple of years. It’s unclear if the leaks have actually impacted the game’s development, as Zelnick might have just made those comments to appease investors. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said to IGN, “as a business matter, we're not affected,” in reference to the leaks, which consisted of around 90 videos of early GTA 6 footage - one of the most substantial leaks in gaming history. Rockstar GamesĪnother noteworthy piece of information is that the massive September 2022 leak hasn’t halted the game’s production. September 2022 leaks supposedly haven’t halted the game’s production. It’s possible they could be folded into one, though, this hasn’t been confirmed. In fact, Tez2 says additional cities will be added later on, which would be a major change of pace for the series.Īssuming this leak is true, these new additions will come in the form of DLC, much like GTA IV’s The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony expansions.Ĭonsidering Rockstar probably has no plans to abandon GTA Online, it’s unknown how that mode will differentiate from the single-player component of GTA 6. Specifically, Tez2 says GTA 6 will expand “over time,” making note that the city will evolve. Interestingly, DLC was actually planned for that game but ultimately scrapped (or repurposed) in favor of supporting the lucrative GTA Online mode.īut apparently, GTA 6 will bring back single-player DLC, at least according to insider Tez2. While GTA V is universally beloved, it’s criticized for never receiving single-player DLC that would have expanded the map and story. Nonetheless, it’s an exciting premise that could be exactly what the series needs to adapt. It’s also unknown if you’ll be able to make different decisions with each character to impact how the story unfolds. If GTA 6 does allow for two protagonists, it’s unclear if it will work similarly to GTA V - wherein you could swap characters on the fly. (You could play as a female in the original GTA and its sequel, GTA 2, but those fundamentally feel like entirely different games since they were in 2D.) This would mark the first 3D entry in the series to feature a female protagonist. As reported by Bloombergin 2022, GTA 6 will apparently feature two protagonists: A duo consisting of a Latino brother and sister. Out of all the leaks and theories on this list, this one is most likely to be true. Grand Theft Auto 6 will supposedly feature a female protagonist.
