![]() ![]() ![]() Rockstar Games formally confirmed that the GTA 6 leak that occurred in September 2022 was real. Rockstar asks its developers to return to the office five day a week, as GTA 6 enters the final stretch of its developmentĪs reported by Bloomberg, GTA 6 developers are being asked to return to offices, as work on the game enters its final stages.Īt long last, Rockstar Games has revealed the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, 22 months after the developer officially announced the game’s development - and notably a day earlier than it was supposed to be unveiled. ![]() Grand Theft Auto (Image credit: Rockstar Games) (Image credit: Rockstar Games) According to Bloomberg, there will be new missions and new map areas added "on a regular basis". Apparently, Rockstar plans to update the map with more cities and interior locations after release, mainly to give developers more breathing room and to cut down on overtime while GTA 6 is being worked on. Specifically, the fact that GTA 6's map may not remain static post-launch. ![]() While this smaller launch map may sound disappointing at first, it's worth digging into other parts of the aforementioned report. These are likely the swamps and bridges we see in the trailer, based loosely on the Florida Keys. This was apparently cut back during development, with Rockstar Games shifting and narrowing its focus to Vice City and the surrounding areas. We see a fair few shots of Vice City in the debut trailer, but it's still unclear whether other areas will be included at launch.Ī Bloomberg report published in 2022 claims that GTA 6's map was much bigger to begin with, encompassing areas based on both North and South America. In a newswire post, published just after the trailer, Rockstar describes the area as 'the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet'. We now know that GTA 6 will be set in the state of Leonida, which encompasses Vice City and beyond. Here's hoping this map is not from GTA 6, then, and that I will be able to play a female character (finally!) in an entirely new and exciting location.Grand Theft Auto (Image credit: Rockstar Games) (Image credit: Rockstar) I wanted to see a bold new location choice in GTA 6 that would be brought to life by the graphical power delivered by Xbox Series X and PS5, not a higher-resolution, expanded version of a been-there-done-that in game world.įor me the word "limitless" is associated with the modern three-dimensional GTA franchise, as the series' best quality is that it communicates to you that you can go do anything and go anywhere (even if that is not true) – so why didn't Rockstar do so with GTA 6? Why not set a GTA game in one of the world's most exotic city states, such as Singapore or Monaco? What about a metropolis we've never seen before in a GTA game like Dubai, Shenzen, Tokyo or Hong Kong? Heck, even GTA: London 1969 shifted the game to a fictionalised version of London during the 1960s. GTA has always been about boundary-pushing open world environments in which gamers can live out their own (usually violent) power fantasies, so why limit yourself to go back to the same old location and area of Earth? Of all the places on Earth you could of set the next GTA, and specifically considering you're developing a game that has access to the immense power on offer of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, why take us back to another fictional version of a North American city and immediate environs? We've seen that before, multiple times. Is this the GTA 6 map or a false leak? No one knows, but one thing is clear, at least to me, if GTA 6 takes us back to Vice City and its environs for the last game I'm going to disappointed. ![]()
