GTA VI will arrive only on the PS5 and Project Scarlett machines. The game wouldn’t launch until 2021 or 2022, which, if true, means the next-gen-only claim could be true, given how old the current consoles will be by that point. No mention of a PC version, unsurprisingly. As for the game itself, GTA VI is said to feature a single, male protagonist who is an “up and coming drug lord-wannabe.” It will take place during the 70s and 80s and be set in both Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro, with some missions taking place in a non-open world version of Liberty City.
The game is supposedly heavily inspired by the Netflix series Narcos, and, like that show, it will include a lot of subtitles as characters speak their native languages to improve immersion. It will also feature a Red Dead Redemption 2-style chapter system, and weather extremities such as hurricanes and floods will be a heavy focus. A fictional Fidel Castro will appear, and the HIV and immigration crisis of the era will be touched upon.
