After the release of "GTA 5", fans couldn't stop talking about the upcoming installment, "GTA 6". News on gameplay, characters, and of course release date have surfaced online, following Rockstar's Dan Hourse's interview on possibilities about the next video game installment.
In an interview with The Guardian last year, Rockstar - creator of the massively successful "Grand Theft Auto" series - lead by writer Dan Houser, obliges for an in-depth interview on the next installment following the release of "GTA 5". Possibilities of the upcoming "GTA 6" such as release date, gameplay, location, and characters are discussed.
First of all, "GTA 6" release date. According to speculations, "GTA 6" release date will likely be roughly five years after the last "GTA". "GTA 5" was released in 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360, and within the month for the PS4 and Xbox One versions. "GTA 6" release date has been rumored to come between 2018 and 2020.
After the "GTA 6" release date, location is another concern for updates. Although there are numerous speculations about the next location for the upcoming "GTA 6", according to the interview, UK location isn't far from happening. Houser talks location upon the "GTA 6" release date saying, "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. I think there are plenty of great stories we could tell about the UK, great environments to showcase, great gameplay mechanics that could have a UK bent to them - I just don't think it would be a GTA necessarily."
"GTA 6" characters upon release date is also another concern for the anticipating fans. As "GTA" games have mostly focused on male protagonists and characters, Houser shares that "GTA 6" may have a female playable character upon its release date.
He shares in the same interview that, possibly for "GTA 6", "In the future, could we do a game with a lead female character? Of course. We just haven't found the right game for it yet, but it's one of the things that we always think about. It didn't feel natural for this game but definitely for the right game in the future - with the right themes, it could be fantastic."
"GTA 6" release date, gameplay, and character information is a developing story. Stay tuned for more updates here.
