Get ready GTA fans, as it looks like Rockstar Games is all set to give you some sneak peaks about the next instalment of this epic game. This is because the gaming studio’s Twitter support account told readers that they should ‘stay tuned’ for the latest updates about Grand Theft Auto 6.
The tantalising hints were unveiled when the support page was responding to questions about the long-awaited GTA 6. There were many responses from the Twitter account that admitted that Rockstar was yet to release any concrete information about the latest game in the crime saga. However, there were plenty of reasons to be hopeful as gamers were told to go to Rockstar’s Newswire page. By doing this, GTA fans would be first in line to read any official updates about GTA 6.
While this is certainly on the vague side of things, it is interesting for a number of reasons. Firstly, it’s one of the rare occasions where an official Rockstar account has actually acknowledged the fact that there will be another instalment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Secondly, the timing of these responses is notable as it comes ahead of several key announcements that are scheduled to be made about the upcoming PlayStation 5.
Some eagle-eyed GTA fans also noted that Rockstar recently reclaimed ownership of several domain names regarding the franchise. In particular, GTA 6 is one domain name that Rockstar has regained. However, it should be noted that if you point your browser at gtavi.com, you won’t find much in the way of any information about this hugely anticipated game.
Obviously all of the above might not amount to much. But it’s still giving gamers plenty of suggestions that another Grand Theft Auto game will be on its way soon. After all, it’s been seven long years since Grand Theft Auto V landed on our Xbox consoles. In this time, GTA V has become part of gaming folklore. This has earned Rockstar Games a staggering $6 billion in revenues with over 135 million copies sold.
Grand Theft Auto V was a massive success as a result of its wonderfully detailed open world depictions of Los Santos, engaging and humorous characters, as well as a nice range of action-packed and mildly diverting missions. Once you had completed the main part of the game there were plenty of other weird and wonderful things to enjoy in GTA V. Whether it’s playing tennis with your highly-strung wife or trying yoga with a slightly creepy mentor, everything was done with a perfect amount of humour and detail.
Later updates of the GTA V even included an in-game casino that gave some of the gaming sites featured at www.Captaingambling.com a good run for their money in terms of realistic gameplay. Plus there was an endlessly enjoyable Grand Theft Auto online feature that has ensured that GTA V is still one of the most popular games to play seven years after its release.
All of which has set a very high bar for what gamers are expecting from GTA 6. Unsurprisingly, there has been an endless array of weird and wonderful rumours about what will be featured in the next instalment of this crime saga.
One of the most popular theories is that Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature a return to Vice City. There’s certainly some mileage in this theory, seeing as the gtavicecityonline.com domain name was recently renewed by Rockstar Games. However, there are other theories that the next GTA could be set anywhere from the New York-styled Liberty City to even a completely new location such as Brazil.
As expected Rockstar Games is being very tightlipped about revealing any details about the new GTA game. However, it does look like the gaming studio took a break from the project due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But thankfully a recent quote from the Take-Two Interactive CEO suggests that the development of GTA 6 is back on track with developers reportedly working from home.
All of which at least gives gamers the very positive news that there is definitely another Grand Theft Auto game in the works. But when it will be released and what it will actually involve is anybody’s guess. One thing is for sure and that’s that the release of GTA 6 will be probably the biggest gaming release of this new decade.
