Rockstar Games have been teasing the community with GTA 6 leaks and updates [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-gta-six-leaks-popular-insider-claims-of-a-high-possibility-of-exclusive-game-mode/]. Although there hasn’t been any official confirmation of the surfacing rumors, the developers might be enjoying all the attention the series is getting in the tentative final development phase. With all the existing speculations around the developments, another intriguing rumor has made its way to the headlines. The makers have had a long affair with single-player games. Over the years, the developers have established a great brand value with their products that focus on this experience. Popular titles like Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Bully, and so many more just signify the style statement of the creators. But the latest inside sources reveal GTA 6 might be different. Rockstar Games might be planning a non-conventional co-op story mode for the upcoming title. MOVING ON FROM THE SINGLE-PLAYER LEGACY, GTA 6 IS SET TO DOMINATE THE CO-OP WORLD Following the success of Rockstar’s single-player ventures, the makers have never tried to dabble in co-ops. But according to an insider leak, GTA 6 will likely be an experimental leap from the conventional format of Rockstar Games. However, there have previously been glimpses of co-op gameplay in their titles. But with GTA 6, the company aims at a more substantial co-op narrative attempt. Considering the legacy the developers have banked on for years, the bold change, although not officially confirmed, has all the fans intrigued. They are skeptical about the possibility of a non-conventional Rockstar title. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GTA-6-Gameplay-geruchten.f1612272539.jpg] Earlier, there were rumors of the Bonnie and Clyde duo being the source of inspiration for the story of GTA 6. While the rumors hinted at the real-life duo being the poster face of the story, a co-op story mode seems like a rational adaptation to complement it. It will be interesting to see how the makers differentiate the two protagonists’ gameplay from GTA V’s three protagonists. ‘The Most Expensive Entertainment Product of All Time [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-gta-six-which-is-allegedly-costing-rockstar-games-over-two-billion-is-bringing-the-most-expensive-entertainment-product-of-all-time/] Undoubtedly, the creators of Grand Theft Auto have ruled the single-player market for a while now. Now, after these rumors, fans are expecting a revolutionary entry of GTA 6 with a co-op story mode. With so many high expectations, it will be interesting to see how the “most expensive project of all time” keeps up. What are your thoughts on the rumor [https://twitter.com/GameRant/status/1683099838269865985?t=qmYOSRzGsF8uGZ1sMRFNlA&s=19]? Let us know your take in the comments below.

The buzz around GTA 6 is higher than ever following the recent official word. Developer Rockstar Games has a reputation for creating groundbreaking open-world games with compelling narratives. Interested to see what new features, innovations, and storytelling GTA 6 will bring? The tag of “The Most Expensive Entertainment Product Ever” only adds to the sky-high expectations from the game.

It's been a decade since the previous game released. And yet after Rockstar Games recently announced the upcoming trailer, the announcement post became the most liked gaming tweet ever. So keeping in mind the love for GTA, let's look at everything that's known about the game as of now.
<h2>When is GTA 6 Releasing? </h2>
There were plenty of rumors surrounding the launch window of GTA 6. While some claim it will be a year from now, a few projected the game to hit the markets in months. While all these rumors lacked credible backing, Rockstar Games had kept the progress under the sheets. Until this month! 

The world was finally given a chance to celebrate when the developers made<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-gta-6-announcement-confirmed-by-rockstar-games-for-early-december/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> the first official announcement for the trailer</a>. “We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you,” they wrote in a tweet. Interestingly, the tweet came just hours after some leaks had suggested an imminent trailer announcement. 

If all such leaks are to be trusted, then the game can release sometime in mid-late 2024-2025. The exact window is claimed to be between April 2024 to March 2025. 

During a recent fiscal call of Take-Two Interactive, the company talking about its future analytical projections <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-it-appears-gta-six-launch-date-has-already-been-set-by-take-two-and-rockstar-games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed the theory</a>. “We remain confident that we are positioning our business for a significant inflection point in fiscal 2025, which we believe will include new record levels of operating performance,” said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick
<h2>The progress of the development</h2>
Rockstar Games had the first official confirmation of the development of GTA 6 through a GTA 5 community update back in February 2022. The confirmation just involved a subtle tease of the development saying, “active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway.”

However, in terms of official confirmation of the project's progress, not much is known. In fact, most of the credible updates that the fans have been subjected to for the sixth installment have rather arrived from the parent company Take-Two Interactive and its fiscal data. In August 2022, Take-Two Interactive reassured the fans with a thumbs up on the progress of the game during a monthly fiscal report. But it was September 2022 that spoiled the party for the developers and for most of the gaming fans. 

The story of the biggest gaming leak 

On September 18, 2022, dozens of videos and screenshots from an alleged in-development build of Grand Theft Auto 6 went viral online in an unprecedented leak. It’s still considered as the biggest leak for any gaming title in history. The credibility of the leaks was confirmed by the developers themselves, as they had expressed their disappointment with the series of leaks. Following this big event in the development, a lot of gaming pundits predicted some long delays in the planned schedule of GTA 6. However, Rockstar Games debunked the speculations reaffirming to the fans that the project would go as planned.
<h2>What to expect from GTA 6?</h2>
According to the rumors and specialties that were deduced by the big leak of September, there are a lot of new innovations that might appeal to a GTA fan. 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3>Location </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The highlight of all the speculations has been the theory of the developers taking us back to the roots. Leaks hinted at a strong connection of the game with Vice City, and with the confirmation of the league’s credibility, it's almost certain players will get to experience a newly evolved version of Vice City. 

As you may be aware, Vice City is partially modeled after Miami. There is currently conjecture that GTA 6 will move even further south, possibly toward the Florida Keys (a chain of tropical islands) and the Everglades (a swamp). Now, the "Gator Keys" location was never seen in the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game, although it was mentioned in a radio broadcast. Expect a variety of environment types on the GTA 6 map.
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3>Characters </h3>
</li>
</ul>
The speculations about a possible duo of playable protagonists were fueled by the September leaks. Ever since then, the two-playable protagonists' theory has only gained credibility.

GTA 6 will apparently give players the first female protagonist of the franchise. If the rumors are to be trusted, the duo of Jason and Lucia is loosely based on Bonnie and Clyde. It looks like GTA 5's character-switching feature is making a comeback in some form. In a leaked video, the two were shown robbing a restaurant together, with the player controlling one character while the AI controlled the other. Another video shows character changing, but this time it happens very instantly instead of slowly as in Grand Theft Auto 5. 

This is all that is known for now. With the trailer set to drop in December, a lot more will be revealed. More importantly, in official capacity.
