Fans of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) simply can’t wait for the next big thing to happen really soon. Part of this hype is the release of GTA 6, which is among the most awaited events to be announced by Rockstar Games.
Popularity Of GTA
Undeniably so, GTA 5 has been one of the most popular game releases on the planet. But despite the equal popularity of GTA Online, it has been 5 years since the last time it was released for public use.
The fact that there are not so many games out there these days that can match the level of competitiveness and hype like the GTA series can. As a matter of fact, ever since the first game was released, GTA already dominated the industry, smashing new record sales.
Arguably, GTA V even made more money compared to a single movie ever released around the world. The staggering $6 billion sales of 90 million units is actually incredible since its release in 2013.
Anticipation Of Fans
Therefore, it can’t be denied that the next installment is going to be more anticipated than ever before. Thus, GTA VI might just be the one fans are looking forward to be released in 2019. But Rockstar Games is not that open when it comes to their upcoming projects.
Release Date
Although there were rumors that GTA 6 is coming in 2019, they were debunked by Rockstar Games itself. This was after some fake ads circulated over the Internet stating the release date of GTA 6. According to Rockstar Games, fans won’t be able to see the game released until 2020.
GTA 6 is also expected to hit stores by 2020 or 2021. This is due to the fact that Red Dead Redemption is still doing great in the market today. Perhaps an official statement might be released by Rockstar Games by the end of the year or early next year.
Speculations About GTA 6
The Theme and the City
If the assumption about the game will be the timeline of the 80’s, then it will likely be using Vice City mode. Moreover, it will still have the same mafia roots on the theme.
You can just imagine that the 80’s is ripe with drug wars with a new breed of mafia in the U.S. On the other hand, you can also explore the possibility of having the South American cartels, an unchartered territory for the franchise.
Playing As A Police Officer
Since its predecessor has enabled multiple main characters, GTA 6 might require something better to meet expectations of their fans. This can be done by letting them play either as a criminal or a police officer.
Predicting The Future
On the basis of the past, it would be possible to predict the future. This is because every game developer would always look to innovate or refine ways to enhance the user experience.
Enhanced Character Interaction
In comparison with the Red Dead Redemption 2, you might be seeing a direct interaction or conversation with the characters, which depends on the dialogue that you prefer.
Take note that the conversations will affect your relationship with the artificial intelligence, which makes it more realistic compared to the generic dialogues.
