GTA VI is the open world action game most anticipated among fans of the genre. The Rockstar saga has become synonymous with graphic and playable evolution from GTA Vice City onwards. And with the recent leak there is nothing but great expectation before everything new that the adventure will offer and that today we can know in a provisional phase and still in development.
Despite the changes that may occur between the leaks and the final release, GTA VI has a lot of fabric to cut. There are several images and more than 90 videos that were leaked on the Internet and that today do nothing but fuel new speculation among fans of the industry. What do we know about the sixth installment of the Rockstar saga?
The return to Vice City
The famous city of the fifth game of the franchise is a recreation of Miami. More than 20 years have passed, and fans of the sandbox genre are ready to return to a state-of-the-art graphics version of Florida.
The leaks show different means of public transportation where Vice City Metro can be read, and Vice City Mambas football games are also announced. There is no doubt, the return to Vice City is a fact, and the cars of the police forces also indicate it with their acronym: VCPD (Vice City Police Department).
Unlike the 2002 title, this time it will be the contemporary Vice City, the one of the present. Not the one from the 80s. Apparently in the leaks, there will be mobile phones, high-end cars and even references to the events of GTA V. Thus creating an increasingly interconnected universe in each installment.

dual prominence
Unlike GTA V where we had three main characters, in GTA VI so far we know that there will be two interconnected stories. Very much in the style of the criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde, in the sixth installment of Rockstar we will have a woman of Latin descent named Lucía, and a man named Jason.
For real-time switching between one character and another, it will suffice to press the crosshead down. The proposal was very well received in GTA V, and we will clearly see a renewed and more dynamic version in this new installment where the story with two protagonists will allow new playable approaches.
GTA VI will give importance to bank robbery
Continuing with the references to the mythical thieves Bonnie and Clyde, leaks indicate that the bank robbery mechanics will be much more elaborate in the sixth installment. Everything seems to indicate that there will be new interaction tools and alternatives in these robberies, being able to use levers to pick locks, picks, the possibility of using position trackers and different alternatives and explosives to blow up safes.
In addition to banks, also we can rob other places throughout the city. Even one of the leaked videos shows the assault on a restaurant. Despite being an Alpha version, there is interaction with different small elements of the environment. Which allows us to think of a highly addictive development when it comes to solving robbery situations with the tension of the police approaching second by second. Taking elements of interaction from Red Dead Redemption 2, by pressing the trigger we can search corpses, take hostages and much more.
An arsenal to fight
The franchise continues to grow and incorporate alternatives for gunfights and confrontations, both with other criminal gangs and with the security forces. In the leaked videos we can see that GTA VI continues to use the classic targeting system, and a fairly varied arsenal that includes:
- Molotov cocktails.
- Grenades.
- Stun grenades.
- Knives.
- Harpoon weapon.
- Baseball bat.
- Micro SMG.
- Golf club.
- Assault rifle.
- Hunting rifle.
- Gun.
- Cue.
- Sniper's rifle.
- Shotgun.
- Lever.
Surely there will be more weapons to follow increasing destructive power, but in the leaks we can already indicate these proposals in our arsenal. What is clear is that the level of violence proposed in the sixth installment will be very high for what the franchise represents.
Music for a criminal setting
When it comes to leaks of a game in development, there may be important changes in the final version. In any case, we can understand that the music will serve to generate the atmosphere of this criminal couple, so it is not surprising that songs like Time Bomb by The Ramones or 30 Days in the Hole by Humble Pie are heard.
Rockstar has always attached great importance to development of a musical style unique to your games. Combining its own style with themes from well-known bands and the possibility of thoroughly personalizing the contents of each radio station. Nothing suggests that this new version will not allow it too.
