The following is a guest editorial.
Come September it will have been seven long years since Grand Theft Auto V was released and for the game’s millions of fans worldwide the big question has been when will the next instalment be with us.
Unfortunately, the answer is perhaps one that not even Rockstar Games can tell us just yet, but the best guess seems to be that it won’t be until 2021 at the earliest. The company is notoriously secretive about every aspect of its operations, but that hasn’t prevented the rumour mill from really getting into gear about various aspects of the game. So here, in no particular order (and with absolutely no guarantee that any will turn out to be true!), are five of the most often repeated ones which we picked up from gamesradar.com amongst other sources.
One of the Main Protagonists will be Female
In the past, the principal characters have been male, with women hardly getting a look-in. The shift to a female protagonist is a move that has been hinted at in the past by Rockstar. One thing’s for sure, though, they’ll hope it will avoid the controversy that the makers of Doctor Who stirred up when Jodie Whittaker was cast as the thirteenth Doctor, as reported on cheatsheet.com.
The Casino Will be Bigger & Better Than Ever
The opening of the Diamond Resort & Casino in July 2019 was acknowledged as a great addition, so it’s sure to be built upon. Perhaps the developers will even look at real online sites like www.bonus.ca where potential players can discover the best joining bonuses on offer and include these kinds of incentives at the Diamond. There may even be the possibility of more than one casino operating in GTA 6, to reflect the choice that players receive in the online world.
We’re Headed South of the Border
It’s thought that the hit Netflix show Narcos is proving to be a big influence on the storylines and that’s going to mean some of the action, at least, may be heading for Mexico. As a side-issue, this could also mean extensive use of subtitles.
The Story is Going to be in Chapters
There Will be Separate Criminal & Law Enforcement Storylines

I was expecting them to release late in the 8th Gen cycle, like with GTA V, so they could do an enhanced port on the 9th Gen to rack up more sales.
I’m expecting a 2022 or 2023 release. They usually do a short teaser as a reveal before a full trailer about a year later, and I’m just not expecting the teaser to hit in 2020.
2023 it is
Late 8th generation release in 2022 and an enhanced version for 9th generation in 2023.
Add this rumor, its gonna be woke.
Games with written dialogue typically don’t have anything going on on the screen when text is displayed, like Pokemon or Mario. For more modern games, with MoCap actors, you want to be watching the character to see the full range of the scene rather than just the text at the bottom of the screen.
Yeah, from the amount of youtube clips I see of people using subtitles, I get the feeling I’m in the minority here. I just find it breaks the immersion in a story driven game.
I find exceptions are in odd scenes where it wouldn’t make sense for characters to be speaking English - like the Navi village in Avatar. But I don't want them for the whole game.
