While "GTA 5" news continues in an all time high after its release date, speculations and rumors on "GTA 6" remain buzzing online, including the sequel's return to Vice City. Official details however remain scarce as developer Rockstar has only but a few information released online.
Early in October Rockstar president Leslie Benzies shared with Develop prior to completing "GTA 5". Talking about "GTA 6", Benzies shares "We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do. We don't know what 'GTA VI' will be, but we've got some ideas." Indeed, a vague development status for "GTA 6", however, after months more news have surfaced online, hopefully leading to a specific (and official) release date announcement for "GTA 6".
Apart from the many information revealed online on "GTA 6" development is the speculated release date. Based on the fact that Rocksteady has yet to confirm the actual development of "GTA 6", release date information found online are largely based on rumors. Analysis-based speculation of the release date sets "GTA 6" possibly as far back as 2018, according to a dedicated "GTA 6" site, GTA5GrandTheftAuto.com. However, some reports reveal a 2017 release date for "GTA 6".
"GTA 6" setting and location are among the many topics of rumors found online. Initially, reports pointed towards having "GTA 6" set in London, now recent news reveal that "GTA 6" will return to Vice City. Vice City was the setting for the 2002-released GTA, following "GTA 3".
According to MoviePilot, this is a confirmed news for the upcoming "GTA 6". In the same report, the return to Vice City also includes a retro-setting, specifically during the 1980s, where the next GTA adventure will continue. "While many speculated that GTA would return to London after so many years, it seems that's still not the plan the company has for the series. But we got the next best thing. The game will return to the setting of 1980's Vice City, Florida, but with an intriguing addition."
Apart from the mentioned information available on "GTA 6", no other detail has been revealed yet, officially. It is not until Rockstar actually confirms the ongoing development of "GTA 6" that we'll hear solid news like release date, location and setting for the highly anticipated sixth installment.
