GTA 6 Details and Scenario
GTA 6 will take place in a modernized and expanded version of Vice City, a location previously featured in the 2002 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The narrative of the game will be based on the true events of the notorious outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. In September 2022, the hacker distributed 90 videos and screenshots of early development footage to confirm the Vice City location. Fans have been theorizing and creating their own maps of the new Vice City on the basis of these leaks.
Take-Two Interactive’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, answered a question on when to expect an announcement from Rockstar.
More announcements will come from Rockstar and be consistent with the way they are marketing the title.
