It's been seven years since Grand Theft Auto V made its launching on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. 2 years later, it made the leap to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. But regardless of ending up being the 2nd successful computer game of perpetuity with crucial praise and over 120 million copies shipped, designer Rockstar Games hasn't made a statement relating to the next entry in the legend.
There was a similar amount of time between 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV and 2013's Grand Theft Auto V, however 2020 could be different because we might lastly hear more about what's coming.
With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X due to launch near the holiday season, players have high hopes that Rockstar will reveal the next game in the Grand Theft Auto household. Here's the latest about the next entry because series.
A brand-new report from Kotaku suggests that Grand Theft Auto 6 is (and lastly) in the early stages of development. It sounds like it could be a much various installation because it may be a live service title more in line with GTA Online.
GTA Online is the multiplayer element to Grand Theft Auto V, which permits gamers to develop and tailor their own characters and live out their lives worldwide of GTA while purchasing cars and trucks, owning houses and apartment or condos, and even getting tasks. However it's a service that continues to evolve in time, and not a video game you purchase one time with a solid story.
Kotaku claims that GTA6 could be a "moderately-sized video game" at launch with a series of routine updates to keep it up to date. This would suggest that it would be closer to GTA Online than Grand Theft Auto V, but the reasoning is relatively clear: Lessening the video game's scope would potentially reduce any need for crunch from the advancement group and aid press the video game out to customers quicker.
Previous reports on Reddit suggested that the title had actually remained in advancement since as early as 2012, but Kotaku's report opposes them. Its working codename is "Project Americas," and it's apparently embeded in both Vice City, the recognized area fans took well to in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, in addition to a new area based upon Rio de Janeiro.
Rumor has it that players will handle an up-and-coming drug lord called Ricardo, with another character named Kacey having an important role in the story, with a "chapter" system similar to that of Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar's other popular video game series). Heavily motivated by the Netflix series "Narcos," it would supposedly include a heavily '70s and '80s-inspired soundtrack with popular culture referrals of the period, just like we saw with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The video game is said to put concentrate on weather as part of its ecological style, with floods and typhoons obviously affecting different objectives. Buildings and lorries can even possibly change and end up being more pricey as time endures, which is a brand-new function.
Sadly, Grand Theft Auto 6 probably isn't coming anytime quickly.
All of these features sound fascinating, but we do not have proof that they are occurring-- or when a new game might appear. It appears like we'll need to wait rather some time prior to Grand Theft Auto 6 hits retail shelves-- unless Rockstar Games comes out with a surprise statement in the next couple of weeks.
Luckily, you can delve into the current entry in the series today. Grand Theft Auto V is on every platform except the Nintendo Switch.
