Are there any fans more loyal than Grand Theft Auto fans? Proving patience is a virtue, we've been twiddling our thumbs for years, waiting for even a whiff of GTA 6. So far, we've had a single tweet from Rockstar Games, confirming that work is underway on the next chapter.
Thankfully, the leakers are a little more on it, with leaks galore flooding the internet. For years, we've been hearing GTA 6 will break new(ish) ground with a female protagonist, with a Latina called Lucia apparently being the lucky lady. She's also tipped to be joined by a male protagonist called Jason.
GTA 6 fans are already cosplaying as Jason and Lucia
In September 2022, Rockstar Games was hit by a massive data breach, with hundreds of videos and screenshots pouring out. The developer confirmed they were legitimate but stated these were from an early game build and might not be representative of the finished product. Still, all our Christmases came at once.
Over on the GTA subreddit, someone shared a shot of a couple cosplaying as Jason and Lucia at Brazil Game Show. From what little we've seen of the rumoured playable protagonists, this looks like a pretty great recreation of their looks. Then again, it's a fairly simple costume and a very niche reference.
The thread exploded with comments from those who can't believe we're so desperate for GTA 6 news, we're cosplaying as characters that haven't been officially revealed yet. When one joked, "Rockstar gonna sue," another added, "Rockstar may legitimately pause the release and re-work the characters."
What's going on with GTA 6?
The reality of GTA 6 is no one really knows what's going on. We've covered how fans are so desperate for a release that they've even been using the Moon to predict an announcement. There were rumbles that some massive reveal was on the way in October, but with just a handful of days left, it doesn't look like that's happening.
GTA has become a victim of its own success, and with GTA Online helping GTA V become the most profitable entertainment product of all time, there are accusations Rockstar has spent too much time focusing on its money-making cash cow. The developer has always been secretive, but GTA 6 is something else.
It's been a decade (and counting) since GTA V was released, and while we know GTA 6 is out there, it sometimes feels like we're no closer to its release than we were years ago. Could 2024 finally be the year we get to boot up GTA 6 and return to Vice City? To be honest, we wouldn't place any bets on it.
