There is still no confirmed release date for the game. However, the news channel Bloomberg has now been able to find out more details about the upcoming GTA part when surveying current and former employees of Rockstar Games. / New information about the upcoming GTA 6
Among other things, it will be possible to play a female protagonist. Thus, in the future, gamers can make the world of GTA unsafe as a Latina. The story of the available male and female main characters of GTA 6 is intended to be reminiscent of the well-known gangster couple Bonny and Clyde. In addition, the developers were careful not to implement jokes about marginalized groups.
The game developer seems to be making a lot of decisions related to the restructuring of the company with the upcoming GTA 6. Rockstar Games has also drastically reduced the gender pay gap, according to Bloomberg. In addition, transphobic jokes have been removed from the last console version of Grand Theft Auto V.
However, the aforementioned restructuring also includes changes in schedules, the conversion of contractors into full-time employees and the dismissal of several managers. Due to the corona pandemic, Rockstar Games distributed care packages, cloth masks and additional rewards. Working conditions have also been improved. Among other things, overtime can now be celebrated as vacation. In addition, the management also promised that there would be no excessive overtime for the sixth part.
The above decisions have also resulted in changes to the game. Originally GTA 6, codenamed “Project Americas”, was supposed to be the biggest GTA title of all time. Current plans only speak of a city reminiscent of Miami. However, Rockstar Games wants to continuously develop GTA 6 and add additional cities and missions to the game over time.
So players have to be patient until GTA 6 is actually available in stores. A possible release could take place in 2023 or 2024.
