'Grand Theft Auto 6' speculations, release date news: Fans still hopes for a female protagonist

Fans have many different speculations about the "Grand Theft Auto 6" game. Rockstar Games

Many are looking forward to the release of "Grand Theft Auto 6" and it is evident with the number of rumors and speculations surfacing online. Although minimal updates to "GTA 5" are on the rise, the sixth installment of the game remains elusive.

One of the famous theories about the video game is the possibility of having a female protagonist. Gamers are hoping that a female character will be added to the forthcoming "GTA 6" game.  Fans think that this would take a new direction for the game and it would be something fresh for the hardcore followers.

Fans anticipate that if a female protagonist is added to the gameplay,  she should be the type who downs bottles of beer, burps, cusses, and can even fix her own car. She should look dangerous, violent and explosive as well. This way, her badass character can stand out in a game that is dominated by men. However, despite the repeated demands, Rock Star Games has not made any announcement that they are agreeing to the request. 

Aside from this, "Grand Theft Auto 6" fans are also looking forward to a Tokyo map. Although the game usually used a known territory like a fictional place in the United States, there is a possibility that it will expand its map. This could mean that a Tokyo map is possible in the upcoming release.

Until now, there is no confirmation of the  release date for the "GTA 6." Many believe that it will be out by 2018 since there is usually a five-year gap between the game's releases. It may be recalled that "GTA 5" was released in 2013; there is a possibility that the next game might come out in 2018.

With the release of another popular Rockstar game, "Red Dead Redemption 2," production of "GTA 6" could be delayed. The developer is currently occupied finishing the former and it could push back the release of "GTA 6" in 2020.
