Games industry analyst Michael Pachter spoke to Gamingbolt about the future of Grand Theft Auto, and he doesn’t see a sequel launching for another three to four years.“I say it comes out after 2022,” Pachter told the site. “Remember, Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out eight years after the first one- so the idea that GTA VI comes out before 2021 seems ridiculous. And Rockstar, the only announcements they’ve ever made more than a year before launch was because the launch itself was delayed. So best case, GTA VI gets announced in 2020 for a 2021 release.”
We remember the first time we saw the announcement trailer for GTA V way back in October 2011 and were blown away by how good it looked, a feeling you may remember from GTA IV release back in 2008. Expect the same emotions when we see GTA VI for the first time.
Although initial rumors indicated that Grand Theft Auto VI could take place in either Tokyo or London, the latest rumor states that GTA VI will actually be based in Miami. Since Rockstar is known for altering their city landscapes and giving them different names, as they did by changing Los Angeles to San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto VI's return to Miami could actually indicate a return to Vice City.
No matter the case, there's one thing that is safe to assume: Rockstar is going to make another Grand Theft Auto title. After all, the latest entry,GTA V, is one of the best-selling games of all time, having sold more than 90 million copies to date.
