Grand Theft Auto VI is an action-adventure coming from Rockstar Games, the eighth chapter of the saga following Grand Theft Auto V and the 16th overall. The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, where the story revolves around the criminal activity of the duo Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Players will freely explore this open world, characterized by an atmosphere similar to Miami, or Vice City. The development began after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, continuing with years of preliminary preparation and beginning the main production in 2020. Rockstar Games' global development teams have more than doubled than those dedicated to Red Dead Redemption 2. Miami and the surrounding areas have been widely studied for the world of the game, which parodys the American culture of the 1920s. The dynamic among the protagonists is inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, while the non-playable characters (NPC) were written to ensure players experience different areas of Vice City. Rockstar confirmed the development of the game in February 2022 and, in September of the same year, fragments of unfinished versions are leaked, representing one of the biggest leaks in the history of the video industry. The formal revelation took place in December 2023. After two delays and further leaks, the release date scheduled for November 19, 2026 is for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The gameplay of Grand Theft Auto VI provides a single-player mode in the first person, with the possibility to choose between Jason Duval or Lucia Caminos as the protagonist. Players will fight NPC, steal vehicles, rob commercial exercises or high-speed pursuits with law enforcement. In free exploration, players will have different options of activity, such as parachute, wrestling, basketball, exercise and scuba diving. During the game, players will increase or decrease weight both Jason and Lucia and, if a player stays awake for days with one of the two characters, their appearance will reflect it. The game will have a criminal reputation system that tracks the reputation of every playable character based on his actions, similar to the honor system previously used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar said that this system is not meant to make Lucia and Jason appear as good characters, but it will treat if each character keeps his professional crimes or commits unnecessary violence with gaming consequences that reflect their reputation. In moments of freedom, such as Jason or Lucia, players can split up to take individual activities or spend time together, affecting the relationship according to their actions and, according to Rockstar, this aspect is optional. Grand Theft Auto VI will include a full social media app called Snapmatic, which returns from Grand Theft Auto V. VERDETTO: MISTO Il testo principale stabilisce le basi per Grand Theft Auto VI, delineando l’ambientazione nello stato immaginario di Leonida (Florida), il duo protagonista – Jason Duval e Lucia Caminos – e alcune delle meccaniche di gioco previste. L'influenza di Miami e la parodia della cultura americana degli anni '20 sono elementi chiave che si allineano con la tradizione della saga, e l’omaggio a Bonnie e Clyde nella dinamica tra i protagonisti offre un punto di riferimento interessante. La menzione del sistema di reputazione criminale simile a quello di Red Dead Redemption 2 è un dettaglio degno di nota, così come l'attenzione al peso dei personaggi, con implicazioni visive e gameplay. L’inserimento di attività secondarie diverse (paracadutismo, wrestling, ecc.) suggerisce una libertà di azione ampia, coerente con il genere open-world. Tuttavia, la sottolineatura delle fughe di notizie e dei ritardi nel rilascio solleva inevitabilmente interrogativi sulla stabilità del progetto e sul grado di controllo da parte di Rockstar su informazioni sensibili. La data di uscita fissata per il 19 novembre 2026 – posticipata due volte – resta un elemento cruciale, anche se non offre ulteriori dettagli al riguardo; l’enfasi sul gameplay in prima persona aggiunge un ulteriore fattore di incertezza rispetto alle esperienze precedenti della saga.
