Three years have passed since "Grand Theft Auto 5" was originally released on previous-generation video game consoles, but there seems to be no clue hinting at the next game of the series. There are rumors going around that "GTA 6" will be delayed until 2020 because of the virtual reality feature.

According to a report, the open world action-adventure game, developed by Rockstar North, is said to be incorporating a VR feature for an immersive game play experience. However, this is also causing a big delay in terms of game development.

Another possible reason for its delay is the recently announced sequel to another game, "Red Dead Redemption 2." It Is scheduled for a fall 2017 release, thus the studio is focused on this project. Then there will also the downloadable content (DLC), which also needs time to be developed.

The studio is keeping their lips tightly sealed, but it is also speculated that the alleged game will be bigger and better. This also means that the game needs more work, and there will be additional new features. Because of this, it would require more time to create.

There are also rumors with regards to the place that the new game could be set in. Some suggest that it could be in Vice City, after an Easter egg found in the latest game. A towel on Vespucci Beach read "I Love VC," which many translates as Vice City. This was also the game setting for the 2002 version of the game.

Another destination for the apparent game is North Yankton. This was discovered by eagle-eyed fans who scrutinized the plane ticket found in Michael's table during the prolog of "GTA V."

It was also suggested previously that "GTA 6" could take place in Tokyo, Japan or in Boston. London is also one of the possible areas for the next game.

Meanwhile, there are fans who are also wishing for more added features in the next game of the series. Several of the things on a wish list includes more vehicles and properties to purchase, additional money making missions, an option to choose the background music, and a wider selection of wardrobe.

In the meantime, "GTA" fans can expect more fun-filled activities with the online version of the game. Game fans are expecting something new for the holidays.

It may be hard to fathom how such pettiness plays into the government’s wider crackdown on FoRB and other fundamental human rights, or how on earth it could justify extending its repression to children, but ultimately it all comes down to fear.
