It’s been nearly a decade sinceGrand Theft Auto 5was first released, and Rockstar Games has just recently announced thatGrand Theft Auto 6is in active development. Official information onGrand Theft Auto 6’s development begins and ends with the fact that it’s currently being worked on, but rumors about it come out at a regular pace.
The latestGrand Theft Auto 6rumors stem from a report by Xfire, citing Rockstar Games insider Matheusvictorbr. This potential leak reiterates some information mentioned in previous leaks about the game. It claims thatGrand Theft Auto 6will have two protagonists, a male and a female, and that they will be siblings. This new leak adds that a drug cartel killed the protagonists' parents and caused them to be separated, with the brother growing up to work for theGTA 6-equivalent of the DEA and the sister becoming a prominent member of the cartel.

According to Xfire’s report,GTA 6will have multiple settings. It backs up previous reports thatGrand Theft Auto 6will be set in Vice City, but adds that the prologue will potentially be set in an area based on Brazil. It also claims that the game will feature Carcer City, which may be familiar to Rockstar Games fans. For the uninitiated, Carcer City is actually where horror gameManhuntis set, so if this rumor is true, it seems that a greater link betweenGTAandManhuntwill be established.
As far as gameplay goes, the latestGrand Theft Auto 6leak says that the game will have destructible buildings and a military outfitted with state-of-the-art weaponry. The report doesn’t focus much on gameplay details, but previous leaks have suggested thatGrand Theft Auto 6’s online map will evolve over time, with comparisons being made toFortnite. Previous reports have also said thatGrand Theft Auto 6will feature jetpacks, though gameplay details are hard to come by otherwise.
And finally, the report potentially narrows down theGrand Theft Auto 6release date. It doesn’t provide a specific date, but does say thatGrand Theft Auto 6is planned for a 2024 release. This more or less lines up with many other reports by various insiders, so it’s easy to believe. Of course, fans should take this and all the other information in the report with a massive grain of salt, but it will be interesting to see if any of the claims turn out to be true.
