New ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ rumours point to biggest open-world game map and possible 2019 release date

Rockstar’s “Grand Theft Auto V” is without a doubt one of the largest video games to date. Despite being first launched in 2013, a lot of players are still eager to explore the game’s compelling storyline and vast open-world. In lieu with the success of the title, Rockstar is sure to develop yet another seque, but it looks like fans have to wait for awhile before it hits shelves.

The developer behind the popular franchise is quiet on details regarding the yet to be revealed title, however, Techtimes speculate that “Grand Theft Auto VI” might release in 2019. The release is speculated after a pattern which Rockstar may have done on purpose. The patter in question is the timeframe of release between “Grand Theft Auto” games, which is five years in between. Although the game was initially launched in 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox One, Rockstar re-released the game to other consoles the following year.

The five year interval looks to be suited for “Grand Theft Auto VI” as it could be Rockstar’s most ambitious game yet. Rumours point out that the game will have the largest map ever. There have been reports that Rockstar has begun mapping out the entire United States for “Grand Theft Auto VI.”

However, a more recent rumour points out that the map will not be basedon the United States. Instead, the open-world could feature all the cities found in the previous “Grand Theft Auto” games. A Reddit post details how the map could look like. It shows that San Andreas, Las Venturas, San Fiero, Vice City and Liberty City all in one big open-world.

The latter rumour seems all the more possible as Rockstar revealed before that it was something they have plans on doing ever since. None of these rumours are yet to be confirmed by Rockstar but they look to be pretty solid speculations considering the features of “Grand Theft Auto V.”
