A Rockstar Games insider revealed that the latest Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series was not named GTA 6. According to him, the game would instead be called GTA Vice.
This is likely because the game will take place in Vice City, where it has become a rumor among gamers. The use of the letter VI itself, can be a pun as a prefix of "Vice" or lead to the Roman number six.
"Heard some internal rumors, regarding a name for the next GTA franchise, something like GTA Vice. The title may change at the end of the announcement," wrote the Matheusvictorbr- account, quoted by us from Gamerant, Thursday (10/2/2022).
The statement soon appeared on Twitter, after the official announcement that the latest GTA series was in development. As a developer, Rockstar Games, it is not clear whether the new title is the game that gamers have been waiting for, namely GTA 6.
"Many of you have asked about the latest series from GTA. With this new project, we aim to always move significantly and beyond what was given before. We are happy to confirm that development for new entries is ongoing," wrote Rockstar Games ( 4/2).
However, the leaks submitted by them did not provide further details regarding the title. Be it the name, setting, character, gameplay or the like, as rumors have been rolling wildly.
As stated by Tom Henderson, a famous game leaker, popular with classified information from Battlefield 6. Where he predicts that GTA 6 will not be released in the near future, at least in 2024.
"Now there are a lot of rumors circulating saying this game will be released in 2022, 2023, I even posted on Twitter the possibility of a release in 2023 to 2024. However, I think that information is still too early," said Henderson on his Youtube channel (28/6/ 2021).
Plus his statements regarding in-game currency, lead to something called Bitcoin. Where gamers can get it as a reward, if you successfully complete several missions.
"I'm not kidding, this is what I heard from someone I do believe in and probably the currency isn't called Bitcoin. But it's going to be cryptocurrency," Handerson wrote.
