Grand Theft Auto VI is an upcoming adventure-action game developed and published by Rockstar Games. It will be the seventh main chapter of the Grand Theft Auto saga, after Grand Theft Auto V (2013), and the 16th in total. Set in the fictional state of Leonida, based on Florida, the story follows the criminal couple of Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Players can wander freely in the open world of Leonida, which presents an inspiration to Vice City. The initial development began after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, following years of preliminary work, and the main production began in 2020. Rockstar World Development Teams have more than doubled since Red Dead Redemption 2. Miami and the surrounding areas have been widely studied for 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. After years of speculation and expectations, Rockstar confirmed in February 2022 that the game was in development. In September of the same year, fragments from unfinished versions are leaked, as reported by journalists, as one of the biggest leaks in the history of the video industry. Grand Theft Auto VI was formally revealed in December 2023. After two delays and further leaks, the expected release date is November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Gameplay: Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player, action-adventure game set in an open world playable in third person as Jason Duval or Lucia Caminos. Players can choose to fight non-playable characters (NPC), steal vehicles, rob commercial activities or drive in high-speed chases with law enforcement.[1][3] Freedom, players have different options for activities, such as parachute, sports arbitration, basketball, physical exercise and snorkeling.[4][5][7] During the game, players will be able to increase or decrease weight both Jason and Lucia, and if the player stays awake for days with one of the two characters, it will be visible on his face[8]. The game will have a criminal reputation assessment system that traces the reputation of every playable character based on his actions, similar to the honor system previously used in Red Dead Redemption 2.[9] Rockstar said that this system is not intended to represent Lucia and Jason as good characters, but traces if each character keeps his professional crimes or commits unnecessary violence with consequences in the game that reflect his reputation[10]. Freedom, such as Jason or Lucia, players can choose to split up to do their own business or stay and do business together. Their relationship will depend on the player's actions[12] and, according to Rockstar, it will be optional[13]. Grand Theft Auto VI will present a fully developed social app called Snapmatic, returning from Grand Theft Auto V[14][15]. The app is designed to be a fundamental element of the gaming experience, allowing players to interact with the world of Vice City through social media. Il fatto di ispirarsi a Vice City e alla Florida è un dato di fatto consolante per i fan della saga, soprattutto considerando la data di uscita prevista. La menzione del raddoppio dei team di sviluppo dopo Red Dead Redemption 2 suggerisce un'operazione titanica, e l’attenzione al sistema di reputazione criminale simile a quello precedente indica una volontà di mantenere elementi collaudati che hanno funzionato bene. Tuttavia, il fatto che la coppia principale si occupi di "navigare nel mondo criminale" di uno stato immaginario – pur basato su luoghi reali – fa sorgere una certa incertezza. Il focus sul combattimento con NPC e inseguimenti ad alta velocità è tipico del genere, ma l’aggiunta di attività come il paracadutismo e lo snorkeling, apparentemente a scopo puramente ludico, appare un po' incongrua nel contesto di una campagna criminale. Infine, la conferma del rinvio della data di uscita (due volte!) rende l’entusiasmo più misurato, senza però negare l'attesa per ulteriori dettagli sul gameplay e sull'ambientazione specifica di Vice City.
