As the anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) continues to build, recent leaks from a prominent Rockstar Games insider have raised concerns about the game’s story.
According to the leaker, GTA 6 might not reach the same heights as the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2). With key figures departing the company and changes in the creative team, fans are left wondering if the sequel will deliver the same level of quality associated with the popular franchise.
One of the reasons for the skepticism surrounding GTA 6’s story is the reduced involvement of Dan Houser, co-founder and former Vice President of Rockstar Games. Houser played a significant role in shaping the narratives of previous titles, including RDR 2. The departure of Houser, along with other core crew members like Leslie Benzies, who were instrumental in creating the Grand Theft Auto series, has raised concerns about whether the upcoming game can meet the high standards set by its predecessors.
English translation: Not that there was much doubt, however much I’ve heard, very little of Dan Houser’s work was implemented into the final script for the next Grand Theft Auto chapter. The last pearl in terms of narrative was and will be the legendary RDR2. On the other hand it will be a total test in RAGE9.
While the authenticity of leaks can only be confirmed upon the game’s release, juicy details have emerged. Leaker, Matheus Victor, has suggested the inclusion of a brother-sister protagonist duo in GTA 6, named Jason and Lucia. Although unconfirmed, this speculation adds an interesting dynamic to the game’s narrative, hinting at a potential focus on familial relationships and character development.
Another controversial aspect is whether Rockstar will prioritize the online mode of GTA 6 over the main campaign. The tremendous success of GTA Online, which has become a lucrative asset for the company, raises the possibility of resources being shifted towards multiplayer content. This has left fans concerned that the single-player experience may be compromised, potentially impacting the depth and immersion of the game’s story.
Despite all of the uncertainty, fans can still look forward to official updates on GTA 6. Noted insiders, including Tez2, suggest that Rockstar may tease the game in September or October 2023. This coincides with the 10th anniversary celebration of Grand Theft Auto V and Online, making it a highly anticipated event for fans.
The official reveal will provide a glimpse into the world of GTA 6 and help determine whether the leaks about the story’s quality hold true.
