Grand Theft Auto VI is an upcoming game that is also one of the most highly anticipated installments in the GTA series. There have been rumors that GTA VI may be set in London.

GTA VI London Rumor

There have been various rumors about GTA VI circulating in the Internet right now. But rumors about London as a possible location for the upcoming game have been increasing in recent months, according to fraghero. The London rumors do have some basis since GTA developer used the city in one of its earlier games. The current GTA game also revealed some similar information in an Easter Egg once.

GTA VI London Location Possibility

Rockstar Games made GTA London 1969 a while back. London makes a perfect location for the upcoming GTA VI game. Unfortunately, many GTA observers doubt the London rumor for several reasons despite the city's cultural richness and English sense of humor.

Grand Theft Auto involves the use of real and high powered guns. However, this may be in conflict with the British law on firearms which is quite stricter than any city in the United States like Los Angeles. The fact that Rockstar already featured London in an earlier game also implies that it may no longer feature it in any future game in the foreseeable future.

GTA VI Expected Release Date

Rockstar has yet to announce anything substantial about an upcoming GTA VI. Gaming industry observers noted that the developer launched a GTA game every five years. Taking this into account, a GTA VI game should be released by 2018. However there have been reports that the upcoming GTA installment may be release on 2020 at the earliest.

There have been speculations that Rockstar will break its usual five year GTA production cycle due to two reasons. First, the developer is still reaping from the benefits of GTA V's huge success. There are also plans to add more content for the current GTA installment. There are also rumors that the next GTA project will require a huge budget.
