Fans of Rockstar Games’ very popular Grand Theft Auto series may have at long last located a potential release date for the new GTA 6.
The leaked GTA 6 details came via a reddit user AMA, and the information rounded up also included possible facts about the GTA 6 story, characters and location.
One thing to note, but, before we reveal any further, is that Rockstar are notoriously known for keeping their cards close to their chest. So, these ‘leaks’ for now at least fall into the serious rumor category.
The OP Reddit subsequently posted: “For all I know this might be fake. I found it exciting so decided to put it into a list for more people to conclude its credibility.
“Just does not seem that the person came up with the things from the top of their head, possibly it was thought out but it is attractive nevertheless.”
Release Date, Setting & Map
Firstly, it is reported that GTA 6 will release in October 2023 with the console versions of the game being prioritized first and an optimized PC version to follow afterwards.
The story structure will follow a similar pattern to that of RDR 2. So it will split into many chapters, and not only that, but the online feature of the game will launch a few months after the single player mode.
It is also thought that the first two chapters are set in the late 1970s in a version of Miami and Los Santos of GTA San Andreas before moving ahead through to modern day.
The supposed leaker also exposed that the game’s main story is around 60 hours long, while also claiming the “map is smaller than RDR2 but way thick.”
The mission structure in GTA 6, in the meantime, is also set to be “quite free.”
Terms of the game’s characters
In terms of the game’s characters, however, the details appeared to be somewhat limited, as the leaker said that Rockstar Games were wary about spoiling any story details.
Ultimately, though, it does sound like players will end the game as a 34-year-old male, though in the early 1970s chapters it will see gamers playing as this protagonist’s father.
These are ultimately rather big details shared, but as always with rumors, it is best to take them with a bit of salt at least until official confirmation is revealed.
