The biggest common questions about the popular GTA 6 action and pursuit game have been answered by official news and unconfirmed leaks, including the main characters, the size of the game's world, the cities in which they may appear, and more.
We can not wait to see Vice City again "if the rumors are true", a fictional city that dazzled us when it was released for the PS2 in 2002, in its new form with the capabilities of the current era on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC, and we will address in today's article to talk about the most prominent things we know about GTA 6 so far, including recent leaks, to take a comprehensive idea before the release of the first teaser video for the game on December 5!.
The most prominent and famous leaks
The game witnessed an unprecedented leak on September 18, where more than 90 videos and screenshots from the development phase "Alpha" of the game were leaked, and Rockstar has admitted to the hack and has made a great effort in trying to erase the leaked material from the Internet gradually since then, and these leaks have provided a first look at the world of Grand Theft Auto 6 and some new details about its map, the size of the world, characters, and more.
The game will present a growing dynamic map, expanding little by little over time to bring more changing areas, events and activities, and about 70% of all buildings in the game will be explorable, something that fans of the series have long wished for, not to mention the presence of two playable characters, one of whom is female for the first time in the history of the series.
Rumors have also indicated that the events of the game will not be limited to Vice City, as there will be many cities that players will be able to visit, and we may be able to see some of the most famous characters that appeared in previous parts of the series.
The appearance of NPC characters using modern smartphones and clothes in the leaked videos is enough evidence that the events of Grand Theft Auto 6 will take place in the current city of Miami, Florida, and not in the past as many believe, and some believe that they have seen a reference to the death of the CEO of LifeInvader, who was killed by Michael de Santa in the fifth part of the series, so it seems that the events of the sixth part will take place after the events of GTA 5.
What are the guesses about GTA 6 release date ?
The release date of GTA 6 has not been officially determined by Rockstar Games as you know, and we may see it in the next teaser video, but this did not prevent fans of the series, insiders and experts from making some thoughtful guesses, as multiple sources confirmed rumors that GTA 6 will be released sometime in 2025, but the latest leaks originating from a friend of the son of Aaron Garbout, head of development and co-head of studio at Rockstar North, claimed that the game will be released in Fall 2024.
How big is GTA 6 map?
Most of the leaks indicated that the map of the next part will be slightly larger than the city of Los Santos that appeared in Grand Theft Auto 5, and will extend beyond the boundaries of Vice City, but some recent leaks indicated that the size of the new map may be equivalent to twice the area of the map of the previous part mentioned, and noted that the world of the game will include three main cities and four sub-cities and smaller surrounding areas.
There is speculation that Grand Theft Auto 6 will take us south towards Everglades and Florida Keys, a chain of tropical islands, and crocodiles have been referenced in some of the leaked code, so if these leaks are true, we will have a different mix of environment types in the next game.
Some fans of the series also pointed to Rockstar's disclosure of the presence of the Vice City area in the upcoming part through its recent post on the game's page via the social media platform X, which symbolizes the phrase "I love Vice City", but the company did not comment on this explanation.
Is there a link between the main characters?
The names of the leaked characters are Jason and Lucia, one of the leaked clips showed the two stealing a restaurant, where the player controls one of the two characters while the other is driven by artificial intelligence, and in another clip, we see the ability to switch between characters in the blink of an eye, different from the slow switching style between characters that we know in GTA 5.
In some other leaks, the two protagonists have been referred to as close friends and partners in crime, just like the famous characters Bonnie and Clyde!, who will participate together in most missions and will have one goal, to search for fun and excitement and earn money at the same time.
Will the game introduce new gameplay mechanics?
The leaked early development footage showed that Rockstar was at least testing some new gameplay mechanics, as it appeared to be testing a new stealth mechanism, where we saw characters lie on the ground and crawl slowly to sneak behind the enemy or similar, as well as the ability to carry corpses to hide.
In addition, the wheel of weapons will return as we saw in the leaked footage, with Rockstar introducing many new items to improve health such as painkillers, and we can also see the return of the five-star "Wanted" stalking system, and that the police department will pursue Jason and Lucia more intelligently and realistically, after the developer has improved the artificial intelligence procedures for tracking and pursuing policemen, so it seems that the chases will be more realistic and exciting than ever.
