Back in February, when Rockstar first unveiled that work onGrand Theft Auto 6was underway, the company stated that it wished to move beyond its previous achievements. It does seem that the upcoming entry to the franchise will see some major differences from past entries. Thehumor inGrand Theft Auto 6, for example, will no longer seek to “punch down,” meaning that it will likely involve even more of the political satire the series already contains.
Also, there’s the potential addition ofGrand Theft Auto 6’sfemale protagonist, something that the franchise hasn’t seen in a considerable amount of time. Returning to Zelnick’s statements in the financial update, apart from the statement regarding setting benchmarks, he didn’t have much else to say onGrand Theft Auto 6.

Since the game was confirmed in February, plenty of leakers have tried to guesswhenGrand Theft Auto 6will release, with many pointing to a possible 2024 or 2025 date as a vague time fans can expect to see the title. Still, until the word comes from Rockstar or Take-Two,Grand Theft Auto 6will remain in somewhat of a limbo. Hopefully, with word that development is “well underway,” fans won’t have to wait too much longer.
