'Grand Theft Auto 6' Release Date News: Is a 2018 Launch Merely Fan-Fiction?
The hype for announcements made for any "Grand Theft Auto" game never dies, especially now that the fifth installment is already more than 2 years old and fans are hot on the heels of the developers for any developments on the sixth installment.
The hottest rumor is that Rockstar Games will most likely launch "GTA VI" sometime in 2018, which is a reference to the timeline that the team took before releasing a follow-up to "GTA IV." The fourth game was released in 2008, followed by the fifth in 2013 — which is approximately five and a half years.
While a lot of fans are looking forward to the 2018 rumored release date, some experts believe that it may not be possible. This is because Rockstar Games is known for delaying releases for not only games but updates to games as well. Given that the game will release in December 2018, it would only mean that Rockstar took 5 years and 3 months to complete the game. Experts say this time span is somehow doubtful since the developer doesn't really launch games earlier than what fans expect.

Meanwhile, another rumor is hot in social media networks and forums. It was reported that a female character will be rising against the odds in the upcoming installment. Rumor has it that the female protagonist will be voiced by Eva Mendes.
If the speculation turns out to be true, a lot of changes will be experienced by gamers since a female lead is definitely new to the franchise. On the other hand, a female character isn't new to other franchises so some players may find it not too much of an impact to see a woman leading the team.
It is worth noting that Rockstar has not officially said anything about the speculations. Hints have been dropped, but until official word comes out from the development team, fans can just stay safe and wait.
