Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature a female playable protagonist and takes place in Miami, aka Vice City, according to a new report. Bloomberg reports that a Latina woman will be one of the game’s two “main” characters, and the story is influenced by the infamous bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde.
The report also suggests that the original plan for GTA 6 was for it to be “larger” in size than any previous GTA game, with “early” designs pointing to a map that could cover “large areas of North and South America.” South”. At the time, the project was codenamed Project Americas.
However, the administration chose to narrow things down and focus on one city in particular, a fictionalized version of Miami, along with its suburbs. None of this is a total surprise, as leaks and rumors have suggested that GTA 6 would return to Miami – called Vice City in the GTA world – and introduce a female protagonist.
The report goes on to say that Rockstar will “continuously update” GTA 6 over time to add new missions and even entire cities “on a regular basis”. While GTA 6’s supposed Miami map may be smaller than the original Project Americas concept, it’s still expected to be significant in size, according to the report. He added that GTA 6 will have even more indoor locations than previous GTA games.
In terms of the story of GTA 6, the report offers nothing but how it can riffs on Bonnie and Clyde. The report states that Rockstar developers are being careful not to “backlash” with jokes about marginalized groups, which would be a change from previous games that poked fun at all types of people.
As for when GTA 6 might be released, the report said that the title’s development is progressing more slowly than some developers expected. The pandemic caused production delays, the report said, but another factor causing slower development was due to changes at Rockstar to help improve culture and working conditions.
In addition, the design department has been restructured to help workers avoid excessive overtime. With all that in mind, the developers told Bloomberg that GTA 6 is likely at least two years away, putting its possible release date somewhere in 2024 at the earliest.
