While many believe that "Grand Theft Auto 6" (GTA 6) will likely arrive in 2020, recent reports claim there is a possibility for the highly anticipated game sequel to be launched earlier.

There is no denying that "GTA 6" is one of the most highly anticipated games. Although its would-be predecessor, "GTA 5," is still enjoying an immense amount of popularity, especially its online version, some fans are already looking forward to what the next "GTA" game will offer and when it will arrive.

As of this writing, Rockstar Games, the studio behind the game franchise, has not released any official statement yet on the highly anticipated game sequel. However, rumors about "GTA 6" possibly arriving in 2020 have been around online for quite a while already.

According to recent reports, though, there is a possibility for "GTA 6" to arrive earlier. This is based on the observation that Rockstar Games releases its games after a year or two of intervals. As Rockstar is slated to release "Red Dead Redemption 2" later this fall, some can't help but suspect that the studio may release "GTA 6" a year after, much more that it is alleged the studio is quietly working on the game. 

Meanwhile, apart from the release date of "GTA 6," fans also find themselves guessing as to where the upcoming game sequel will be set. While some believe that the game will be set in Tokyo, it is said that the developers had second thoughts about it because of the complicated road networks of the said Japanese city. On the other hand, there are also those who suspect that the game may be set in London, although some can't help but be skeptic if it will really be the case.

Will "GTA 6" really arrive earlier than expected? Will the game sequel be set outside America this time?

Rockstar Games outsiders can only speculate for now.
