‘GTA 6’ Release Date, Latest News & Update: Rumors Suggest Sixth Installment Set in Either London or Vice City

News about “GTA 6” is still scarce as Rockstar remain mum about the sixth installment. As such, fans of the franchise have turned to speculation to predict what they can expect for the biggest game of the studio.

Among those that are being discussed is where “GTA 6” will be located. There are several cities touted by rumors on the web and one of them is a possible London setting, TechRadar reported. The speculation stems from the previous statement given by Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser.

“At the moment, it feels like GTA’s DNA is contemporary-ish, American-ish, English-speaking-ish, because that’s what it has been… But that doesn’t necessarily limit it to those, that’s just what we’ve done so far,” Houser said. When fans of the franchise got wind of the statement, they’ve started looking overseas and London was the non-US city that came out on top. However, other rumors suggest that “GTA 6” will be returning to Vice City, the game’s version of Miami.

According to The Know, a source from Rockstar studio itself revealed to them that “GTA 6” is being developed under codename “Project Americas.” The moniker is supposedly tied to the fact that players will be given the freedom to travel between the United States and south of the border to conduct drug-related missions.

With Miami considered one of the top cities that is plagued by narcotics, this rumor certainly holds some weight to its narrative. This is especially true since Vice City is one of the most popular locations that the franchise has explored. Of course, since Rockstar hasn’t announced anything about “GTA 6,” it’s best to take these rumors as nothing more than speculations by fans.

As for the release date of the sixth installment, it’s believed to drop sometime between 2020 and 2022. Part of the reason that the studio remains hesitant to say anything about “GTA 6” is the political climate that is devolving within the United States. Houser previously referred to this as the “Age of Trump.”
