Building on the success of GTA 5, which is still dominating charts and sales, the upcoming AAA title will be the most detailed open-world game from Rockstar Game for at least a few years. Set in the fictional state of Leonida, which also happens to be home to the iconic Vice City, GTA VI is the first game in the franchise to have two protagonists.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA VI will be the first game to have a female protagonist named Lucia, but not much is known about her male counterpart at the moment. However, it looks like the duo will have a Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship as they can be seen committing crimes together. If we take a quick look at the trailer, it looks like the GTA VI map will feature some iconic locations from Vice City such as the Starfish Island, some landmarks like Ocean View Hotel, and Malibu Club may be missing.
However, millions of GTA fans will be missing out on the upcoming title, as Rockstar Games is yet to share any news about the PC version of the game. If GTA VI is like its previous instalments, PC gamers will have to wait somewhere around two years before being able to enjoy the game, that is, if everything goes according to plan.
