Take-two Interactive hints that long-anticipated GTA 6 could release in 2024.
Also: The world has become super toxic regarding basically everything mocked in GTA. I highly doubt GTA 6 will be even a bit like previous versions. It will end up as toned-down unironically “woke” cashgrab. To me, GTA ended with GTA V.
Or we could just wait for the game to have actual trailers/gameplay or even wait untill it’s released before we start saying the game is shit. We don’t even know anything about it yet.
GTA 6 will inevitably be labelled woke, but I don’t think that’ll be the issue. I just don’t think GTA’s humour works nowadays and needs to evolve. Even ignoring the childish poop and sex jokes, writing poignant satire in 2023 simply is a lot harder. I think ultimately Take-Two is just gonna play it safe, take no risks and the end product will be bland as a result. Just like the new Saints Row.
It’s inevitably going to be labelled woke because it has a female protagonist, a non-white female protagonist at that!
Also there was some stuff in the leaks about
spoiler
a right-wing militia which you can encounter and presumably slaughter, kinda like the KKK in RDR2, so expect Ben Shapiro to get upset about that
I don’t think GTA6 is gonna be quite where they play it safe just yet, their brand recognition relies too much on crass satire of America. The Saints Row Reboot also totally flopped financially, so I don’t think anybody is going to take them as inspiration. I think the execs are just smart enough to know why GTA sells.
