The game will take place in the state of Leonida (Grand Theft Auto’s version of Florida) and will also include Vice City (the game’s version of Miami and the location of the third game in the series). It will feature two protagonists, one of whom is Lucia, the game’s first female protagonist since Grand Theft Auto II.

Since GTA V was released, the story of Franklin, Michael and Trevor has become one of the biggest and most recognizable pieces of media.

The game generated more than $1 billion in revenue in just three days. It quickly became a cultural phenomenon.

While it was originally released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it’s since been released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. That’s right, Grand Theft Auto V has been on three different Playstation consoles, while the PlayStation 2 received three different Grand Theft Auto releases (III, Vice City, San Andreas).

Grand Theft Auto V also spawned Grand Theft Auto Online, a multiplayer mode that still ranks among the most-populated online games 11 years after its release.

But all that buzz and attention didn’t immediately result in a new game. In fact, for a long time, GTA fans were stuck with nothing. While Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption II in 2018 (another critically acclaimed open-world game that spawned a massively successful online mode), it was radio silence regarding Grand Theft Auto VI.
