But even if this is a big and convenient coincidence and Mesones did just innocently share a photograph without a subconscious meaning to it, information technology's certainly curious as to why he tagged the studio'south official Instagram account in the post in question. The aforementioned was pointed out past some other Reddit user: "Very truthful but why did they @ Rockstar Games, is there an event going on related to them.

Regardless of whether the speculation proves to exist true, there might exist a long expect until the studio finally unveils the new title. This comes from a rumor from Tom Henderson, a reliable manufacture insider who claimed that GTA half-dozen may not be out until 2025. Henderson also backed the Vice City setting rumors as well as speculated that the game volition reportedly feature multiple playable protagonists and an 'evolving' map.

Another source also discussed the fact that the studio doesn't have plans on releasing GTA 6 anytime soon, equally its predecessor GTA V is due to be re-released on next-gen consoles such equally the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. This ultimately ways that Rockstar is unlikely to disrupt the GTA V re-release by unveiling a newer game that volition inevitably shift the userbase's attention.
