Rockstar Games has been tipped to announce Grand Theft Auto VI some metre this week .
In what could very well be the most hotly anticipated TV game launch of the twelvemonth , if not the decade , Rockstar ’s latest heroic crime sim could be let on very presently indeed . Bloombergjournalist Jason Schreier arrogate to have learned from “ people conversant with its plans ” that the company plans to foretell its new plot as early as this week .
Beyond that , Schreier claims that Rockstar will publish a prevue for Grand Theft Auto VI ( orGTA 6as it ’s informally know ) next month , which will very conveniently double as a jubilation of Rockstar ’s 25th day of remembrance .
For fans of the series , this has been a long time add up . As of last month , it ’s been 10 years since the launch ofGrand Theft Auto V. That ’s basically two console genesis ago , with the plot launching on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 .
Of naturally , it ’s since made its room to most platforms under the sun , and has proved a staggering success . The terminal figure ‘ foresightful prat ’ does n’t really cut it , with more than 185 million copies sell at a relatively consistent rate across that decade - retentive span .
It ’s the secondly - best selling TV game of all time behind Minecraft , and as the original report points out , that game had the benefit of being able to be dally on a smartphone .
The wider series was instrumental in establishing the open world gameplay templet that we ’re all still for the most part populate with today . Back in 2001 , Grand Theft Auto III insert the very first 3D interlingual rendition of what had previously been a kinky top - down franchise made in Britain .
Its arrival single - handedly heralded a new era of freewheel mayhem . We ’re very excited to see where this vast series take us next .
