In an effort to provide a more realistic experience for players, Rockstar Games may integrate new features into the much-talked-about "Grand Theft Auto VI."

According to Blorge, the latest rumors suggest that the next "Grand Theft Auto" offering will be more realistic than before and will feature natural disasters in the storyline. It is unclear whether these occurrences will be patterned depending on character locations will be integrated as an event or mission in-game. Nonetheless, the disasters may include earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

The industry follower also added another speculation, and this dovetails with natural disasters playing a part in characters' locales for "Grand Theft Auto VI." The report also mentioned that the next instalment may feature multiple cities as part of a bigger "Grand Theft Auto VI" world. Players, particularly of the online feature, can then teleport and travel to these different cities in order to do their missions.

While it is not yet confirmed if "GTA VI" will indeed feature multiple cities, Vine Report reported that if Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies had his way, future versions of "Grand Theft Auto" will feature one big world where players can go to their favourite areas.

Meanwhile, there are also rumors of the next instalment going after the pattern that another online multiplayer title, "World of Warcraft" from Blizzard, has achieved.

According to Master Herald, Rockstar Games' parent company and "Grand Theft Auto" series publisher Take-Two Interactive wants the franchise to also explore the possibility of strengthening its multiplayer features, starting with "Grand Theft Auto VI." However, it is unclear if the publisher wants the franchise to be as durable and long-running as "World of Warcraft," or if Take-Two Interactive was alluding to the massive multiplayer online title's subscription-based gaming model.
