‘Grand Theft Auto 6’ Release Date, Rumors: ‘GTA 5’ Sequel To Be Set In London? Launch In 2020?

While, there's no word from Rockstar Games about the next installment of the popular video game franchise "Grand Theft Auto", tentatively titled "Grand Theft Auto 6," rumors suggest the game will likely be set in London.

Rockstar co-founder, Dan Houser, had previously hinted that the developers are keen in taking "Grand Theft Auto 6" outside the U.S.

"At the moment, it feels like GTA's DNA is contemporary-ish, American-ish, English-speaking-ish, because that's what it has been," said House, reported HNGN. "But that doesn't necessarily limit it to those, that's just what we've done so far."

"These days I think we would love to set a game in the UK, set in London, whatever, but I don't know if it would be a GTA game," he added.

In the past, the gaming studio had also revealed that they would like to create a GTA game with all previous cities from the series.

"Of course, at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas," said Leslie Benzies, former Rockstar president.

However, there are also reports which suggest the new "Grand Theft Auto" might be set within US borders in San Diego city.

Rumors suggest the "GTA 5" follow up will feature a female protagonist, which will be voiced by Hollywood star Eva Mendes. Mendes's real-life partner Ryan Gosling is also rumored to voice one of the game's male characters.

As far as "Grand Theft Auto 6" release date is concerned, it is rumored that the game might get a launch sometime between 2018 and 2020. The gaming studio has maintained a five-year-gap trend between its GTA releases. While "GTA 4" was released in 2008, the "GTA 5" game was launched in 2013. If the same trend is followed, fans can expect the highly anticipated "GTA 6" to get released in 2018, which is five years after 2013.

However, it is to be noted that "GTA 4" saw release seven years after Rockstar created "GTA 3," so, there are also chances that the gaming studio might release the sixth installment of the game in 2020.
