‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ getting release date from Rockstar after years of fans clamoring: report

according to Bloomberg.A trailer is expected to be released in December, just as Rockstar Games is celebrating it’s the 25th anniversary.The new game will be the first “GTA” release since the massively successful “Grand Theft Auto V” came out in 2013.That game, a multi-platform phenomenon, has sold over 185 million copies second only to Minecraft, which has sold over 300 million since its release in 2011.GTA V is available for users to play using PC, Playstation, and Xbox, where players can play either the story mode or the online mode format where your character is inside an open world with the ability to drive fly, and sail around the map while completing missions, heists and business dealings.Over the years, the GTA online community has been plagued with hackers, who “grief” or intentionally disrupt the gameplay for other players, something the developers have tried to combat, but to no avail.In 2018 a Georgia man was sued by Take-Two Interactive after claiming it lost $500,000 because the man developed a cheating system that “allows a player to “alter” the games of those they’re competing against.The new game will be set in a fictionalized version of Miami and South Florida, while featuring a man-woman duo, with the latter being the first female protagonist of the series.This new installment will also reportedly cut back on the crude, and potentially offensive jokes about minority groups, that were made popular in the previous games.Reports of the milder language have sparked a debate among the fans, with some complaining they are taking away the jokes, and are leaving behind the violent gameplay, because players can drive over non-playable characters (NPC) shoot and kill police officers, and rob convenience
