GTA 6 marks a "new vision" for developer Rockstar Games and the series at large.
15.11.2023 - 17:01 / radiotimes.com
The past year has been a whirlwind for Rockstar Games, with leaks and rumours regarding the next Grand Theft Auto dominating message boards and social media.
However, now that we know a trailer is on the way, hopefully things will soon become clear.
This hasn't stopped the rumour spreaders, though. Oddly, the words 'GTA London' are popping up in various corners of the internet.
Judging by pretty much every leak and rumour, the city of London is not where the next GTA is set. So what's all this about?
Let's try to unpack the reason people are talking about a British GTA-type game.

All this talk about a GTA London isn't actually regarding an official Grand Theft Auto release.
There's a game in development called Ends, which looks to be a possible rival for Rockstar's flagship gangster series.
Developed by Concrete Realm, Ends looks like a gritty crime caper set on the streets of London. Check out the trailer below:
It's early days for Ends at the moment, but it reminds us of the 2002 Team Soho classic The Getaway.
We'll be sure to report more on Ends when we hear more, but it's a pretty exciting prospect to explore an authentic London in a game again.
For the foreseeable, we'd imagine Rockstar will be focusing on Grand Theft Auto 6. And if the leaks are anything to go by, GTA 6 will be set in the Miami-inspired Vice City — first seen in the eponymous 2002 game.
Nothing has been announced, but according to someone who has supposedly seen a trailer, GTA 6 will feature two protagonists called Jason and Lucia.
This mysterious trailer supposedly features many shots of Vice City, too.
So it looks like the next GTA will be in a sunny location. The complete opposite of London.
If you cast you cast you minds back to the late '90s (if you were born after, lucky you), you might remember such a game existing.
It was an expansion pack (what we used to call DLC) for the the first Grand Theft Auto, and it was called Grand Theft Auto: London 1969. It went on to be released as its own game for the PlayStation 1.
If you're curious, check out a gameplay video down below:
It's the old top-down two-dimensional style, but look at those Union Flag cars. Set in 1960s London, it focuses on that era's crime and culture, such as the mods.
We reckon it's worth doing your best Michael Caine impression and revisiting this gem.

The wait is finally over, and perhaps a little prematurely so. Rockstar Games, the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, promised that they will release the first trailer of GTA 6 today, at 9 AM ET (7:30 PM IST). However, the trailer was leaked online a few hours ago. Once the news broke, Rockstar Games also released the game officially, much ahead of the schedule. The trailer, even when it was dropped unexpectedly, confirms many small details we have seen over the past year, such as the first female protagonist Lucia, and the Vice City setting. Additionally, the trailer also reveals the launch date, or more like the launch year of the game as well.
Just a day away from getting our first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, a leak has surfaced that claims to show footage from the upcoming game. As per GTABase.com on Twitter, TikTok account ‘azzarossi' posted a video showing a quick panoramic view and scale of the alleged location GTA 6 is based in — a fictionalised version of Miami aka Vice City. The video also shows a Pißwasser billboard, an in-game beer brand that's been ever-present in GTA games. While the account has since gone private, there is no way to verify whether the footage is real. The important landmarks, however, match with the massive data leak from last year, which exposed over 90 in-development clips into the wild.
In a surprising turn of events, a potential glimpse into the highly anticipated GTA 6 gameplay and map has emerged on TikTok. An individual going by the username "azzarossi" shared the purported gameplay footage along with intriguing details about the game's map. With the official GTA 6 reveal just days away, this leak has stirred up excitement and speculation within the gaming community.
A rather short GTA 6 leak allegedly shows 6 seconds of off-cam gameplay of the highly-anticipated title, including the game's cityscape.
A seven-second TikTok video claiming to be a «first look at GTA 6» has gone viral, and unsubstantiated rumours reckon the leak comes via the son of a Rockstar developer.
Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release date is finally upon us, as confirmed by Rockstar Games via a tweet. The first footage from the highly-anticipated crime odyssey sequel will be out on Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30pm IST in India/ 9am ET in the US, with the publisher only posting an image of a sunset and palm tree silhouettes — confirming previous claims that it's set in a fictionalised version of Miami, which franchise veterans might recognise as a return to Vice City. With that, it is clear that Geoff Keighley won't be presenting the trailer at The Game Awards 2023, though a teaser or some screenshot drops are always possible.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that the first GTA VI trailer will be premiered on Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
Apparently, a new Type will be introduced in the DLC for , which could be considered the 19th Type in the series. Ahead of the expansion’s release later in December, a series of information about the upcoming content has been leaked or highly rumored, which further teases those waiting to play. There are many leaks about the DLC, including new forms for a few beloved Legendaries like Koraidon and Miraidon.
Ever since Alan Turing's “imitation game,” we've been acutely aware of the importance of measuring the capabilities of computers against our own miraculous brains. The British pioneer's method, outlined in 1950, is primitive today, but it sought to answer a persistent question: How will we tell when a machine has become as (or more) intelligent than a human being?
With the amount of hype surrounding Rockstar Games titles, particularly, now is the perfect time for the company to present its own showcase. Other major companies started having their own showcases, such as PlayStation's State of Plays, Nintendo's Nintendo Directs, and the Xbox & Bethesda joint showcases of recent years, the latter of which was used to provide an in-depth look at in June 2023.
Rockstar Games has been one of the world's most popular gaming companies in the last few decades. A major part of its success is particularly attributed to Grand Theft Auto or GTA, its open-world action-adventure video game. There have been many entries into the series to date, and fans are patiently waiting for the release of the next GTA game which is ubiquitously known as GTA 6. However, apart from the confirmation of the GTA 6 trailer release date, there has been no information so far, with Rockstar Games keeping tight-lipped about the game. And it seems like it doesn't want its employees (or even former workers) to talk about other GTA 6 as well.
