Undoubtedly, GTA 6 is set to be one of the gaming community’s most anticipated titles, with enthusiasts eagerly awaiting every titbit of information. Despite Rockstar Games not having made any official revelations, leaks swirling around the internet suggest several intriguing aspects:
- The game might mark a nostalgic return to the fan-favorite Vice City.
- Players could get a refreshing perspective with a female protagonist leading the narrative.
- Exciting new weapons and a plethora of gameplay features await in this iteration.
But the real talk of the town? The potential role-play functionalities built directly into GTA 6. A deep dive into the newly added files to GTA Online by respected insider, Tez2, unveiled scripts that allude to such features. Drawing parallels between the scripts of Rockstar’s earlier titles, RDR1 and RDR2, Tez2 postulates that GTA 6 might bear resemblances, especially given that GTA Online’s creator tools have been a focal point of discussions recently.
These tools, described by Tez2 as “level editors,” hint at extensive customization options. From the weaponry of an NPC to specific scenarios they would spawn in and even behaviour patterns of in-game entities like security guards – the possibilities seem vast. This could mean that the free mode experience in GTA 6 might be unlike anything fans have seen before, leaning heavily into a role-playing avenue.
Given the soaring popularity of GTA RP, it doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to see why Rockstar would tread this path. “This is where I could see them involving the role-playing community. Both Rockstar and Take-Two have seen the potential of role-play and wouldn’t want to miss out on that if VI is set to last a decade ahead,” Tez2 remarked.
So, will Rockstar Games dip its toes more profoundly into the world of role-playing experiences? Perhaps even introducing monetization strategies within this framework? As of now, everything remains speculative.
But here’s the silver lining: With GTA 6 rumoured for a 2024 release, fans might not have to wait for too long for answers.
