Rockstar Games has yet to announceGrand Theft Auto 6in an official capacity, but the game is inevitable.Grand Theft Auto 5has made way too much money for Rockstar Games to never move forward withGrand Theft Auto 6, and in the absence of official information, there’s been a steady stream of leaks about the game and what it may entail. Fans have also been scouring older Rockstar Games titles for clues aboutGTA 6, with a newly discovered tease being one of the most mind-blowing yet.
YouTuber Strange Man has found a hugeGrand Theft Auto 6tease hidden inRed Dead Redemption 2. The skeleton of a Jesuit missionary can be found inRed Dead Redemption 2’s open world, southwest of Gaptooth Breach, east of the Sea of Coronado. Upon examining the skeleton, players can find a letter written from Cardinal Blanco to Brother Rodolfo. And if Strange Man’s analysis is correct, the letter is a hidden message aboutGrand Theft Auto 6.

Watch the video for a more detailed explanation, but basically, Strange Man posits that the letter’s author, Cardinal Blanco, is meant to be representative of former Rockstar Games writer Dan Houser, whereas the Brother Rodolfo is meant to be Sam Houser. In the letter, Cardinal Blanco is trying to talk Brother Rodolfo from traveling “east” and asks him to stay in California. This is a reference toGrand Theft Auto 5’s Los Santos setting, which is based on California, whereas “east” represents the setting forGTA 6, rumored to beMiami-equivalent Vice City.
According to Strange Man, other language in the letter can be interpreted as references to the behind-the-scenes situation going on in regards toGTA 5andGTA 6. As explained by Strange Man, the text makes reference to Sam Houser wanting to move on fromGrand Theft Auto 5and work on new projects, even though that goes against the wishes of Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two. WithGrand Theft Auto Onlinestill making money hand over fist, Take-Two is more interested in providing new content for that game, hence theGrand Theft Auto 5next-gen releasethat’s on the way this year.
Strange Man also points to the Cardinal Blanco name, which could be a reference to Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug lord. If so, this could be a nod to the rumors ofGrand Theft Auto 6having both male and female protagonists. It could also hint at theGTA 6protagonists being Colombian, which is something else that has been rumored for the game for quite some time.
Rockstar Games has been known to hide clues for its next games, with nods toRed Dead Redemption 2found inGrand Theft Auto 5and a reference toGrand Theft Auto 5found in the originalRed Dead Redemption, so on and so forth. It stands to reason that there are legitimateGTA 6clueshidden inRed Dead Redemption 2, and the evidence provided by Strange Man is compelling enough to suggest that this is indeed one of them.
Grand Theft Auto 6is rumored to be in development.
