In the spring of 2021, with Rockstar Games still silent on its next major title, the gap was filled by a patchwork of rumours about Grand Theft Auto 6, gathered by Firstpost in late March. Like many long waits in the life of a beloved series, the uncertainty has become its own story, one where a whispered release window, a 1970s Florida setting, and a pair of playable protagonists circulate without any anchor in the studio's own words. Nothing here is confirmed, and what the fans are left with is an open question that only Rockstar can close.
GTA 6 Rumours Point to 2023 Launch, Dual Protagonists and a 1970s Florida Setting
None of it comes from Rockstar.
Mark
So what's actually being claimed here about Grand Theft Auto 6?
Mimi
A cluster of things: an October 2023 release, a chapter structure like Red Dead Redemption 2, a 1970s Florida setting for the first two chapters, and two playable protagonists, one male and one female.
Mark
Why does the chapter structure matter?
Mimi
It suggests Rockstar would reuse the storytelling approach from its last big game, and the leak ties the setting and tone to that.
Luke
Before we get comfortable, none of this is confirmed. Rockstar hasn't said a word. The date and setting come from a leak relayed by Game Rant, and we don't know who the original source was.
Mark
What about the job listing for the cinematic capture artist?
Mimi
It fueled trailer talk, since the role involves capturing gameplay footage for cinematic use.
Luke
But Sportskeeda itself says the listing may be unrelated to this game. A job ad is not a release schedule.
Mark
And the dual protagonists?
Mimi
Tom Henderson, a YouTuber, claimed it, and LegacyKillaHD backed him up.
Luke
Backed up isn't verified. Two people repeating a claim is not the same as two independent sources, and the article doesn't say how either knows. We simply don't know yet.
Il Polso
- A leak reported through Game Rant claims a possible October 2023 release and a chapter structure echoing Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Whispers of a 1970s Florida opening, grittier than past entries, have fans reading every detail for truth.
- A February job listing for a cinematic capture artist has sparked hopes of a trailer, though its link to the game remains unproven.
- Two YouTubers, Tom Henderson and LegacyKillaHD, say the game will feature both a male and female playable lead, but neither has shown a source.
- With Rockstar silent, every claim is still unverified, and the next official trailer or announcement is the only thing that will decide which hold up.
In the spring of 2021, with Rockstar Games still silent on its next major title, the gap was filled by a patchwork of rumours about Grand Theft Auto 6, gathered by Firstpost in late March. Like many long waits in the life of a beloved series, the uncertainty has become its own story, one where a whispered release window, a 1970s Florida setting, and a pair of playable protagonists circulate without any anchor in the studio's own words. Nothing here is confirmed, and what the fans are left with is an open question that only Rockstar can close.
Three months into 2021, Rockstar Games had said nothing official about Grand Theft Auto 6, and the rumours had rushed in to fill the quiet. Firstpost gathered the main ones in late March, and every one of them remains unconfirmed.
The loudest claim, reported through Game Rant, describes a game built on a chapter system like the one in Red Dead Redemption 2, possibly arriving by October 2023. That same leak places the opening chapters in 1970s Florida, with a grounder feel than earlier entries. Beyond that, the source offers little on story, characters or structure.
A second thread follows a February job listing for a Cinematic Gameplay Capture Artist at Rockstar. Speculation took off that a trailer might be near, though Sportskeeda, cited by Firstpost, notes the role may have nothing to do with this game. The listing is circumstantial and says nothing about timing.
Finally, YouTubers Tom Henderson and LegacyKillaHD both say the game will offer a playable male and a playable female protagonist. Neither is Rockstar, and neither source explains how the information was obtained.
What is left is a patchwork: a leak for the date and setting, a job posting for hope, and two voices for the protagonists. The picture will only clear with an official word from Rockstar.
Three months into 2021, Rockstar Games had still said nothing official about Grand Theft Auto 6, and the rumours had filled the silence. Firstpost gathered the main ones in late March, and the first thing to know is that every claim below is unconfirmed.
The most prominent leak, as reported by Game Rant, says the game would be built around a chapter system, the same approach Rockstar used in Red Dead Redemption 2. According to that leak, the game might arrive by October 2023.
The same leak puts the first two chapters in the 1970s. It describes a more grounded feel than earlier entries in the series, and a setting in Florida. The source offers no further detail on the story, the characters or the structure beyond those chapters.
A second thread concerns a possible trailer. In February, Rockstar shared a job listing for a Cinematic Gameplay Capture Artist, and the posting set off speculation that a reveal might be coming. Sportskeeda, cited in the Firstpost piece, allows that the role may have nothing to do with Grand Theft Auto 6. It still treats a trailer release as a possibility. The listing is circumstantial evidence at best, and it says nothing about timing.
The third claim comes from Tom Henderson, a YouTuber, who said the game will have both a playable male and a playable female protagonist. Another YouTuber, LegacyKillaHD, backed the claim. Both are online voices rather than Rockstar, and the source does not say how either obtained the information.
So the picture is a patchwork. A leak reported through Game Rant supplies the date, the era and the place. A job posting supplies hope for a trailer. Two YouTubers supply the protagonist detail. None of it comes from Rockstar.
What to watch for is an official announcement or trailer from Rockstar, which would settle which of these claims, if any, hold up.
