“GTA 5” surprised players with the opportunity to play three protagonists. According to a leak, there will be another novelty in “GTA 6”.
Rockstar Games has already taken the “Grand Theft Auto” players who love cars and action on several adventures in different eras: from a setting inspired by the 1980s in Miami to the fictional Los Angeles of the 1990s. As protagonists, the players always slipped into the role of men. That could possibly change with “GTA 6” because according to rumors, the next “Grand Theft Auto” spin-off will be the first game in the franchise that has both a female and a male protagonist.
“GTA 6” with a female character? That’s behind the rumor
The information comes from Tom Henderson, an industry expert whose predictions have proven to be correct several times in the past. On Twitter with thousands of followers, he said in a short post: “For the first time ever, there will be a playable female and male protagonist in a” GTA “title in” GTA 6 ” .”
Henderson does not elaborate on his claim, however. He does not reveal where he got his information from, or whether it is just a personal guess. Nonetheless, it stands to reason that Rockstar Games will introduce a female protagonist for ” GTA “.
For many years, the main characters have always been male, with a few exceptions. In the “ Grand Theft Auto ” series, in particular, women have so far played a very subordinate role. In recent years, developers have opted for female protagonists more often, for example in “The Last of Us 2″ , ” Horizon Zero Dawn ” or ” Assassin’s Creed : Odyssey “. It, therefore, seems entirely plausible that “GTA 6” will take this step next.
GTA 6 date of debut is still unknown?
Meanwhile, Rockstar Games is still waiting for any announcements about ” GTA 6 “. Many fans were hoping for a release this year, but that is more than unlikely. Instead, “GTA 5” will be published a second time. In the second half of the year, the game will be launched with several improvements for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
