"We just haven't found the right game for it yet, but it's one of the things that we always think about," he added.

In the past weeks, there were lingering reports that "Drive" star Ryan Gosling and partner Eva Mendes will somehow be involved in "GTA 6." Some say the lead characters will have the celebs' voices or appearance. There are even reports that Gosling already agreed to be part of the upcoming game.

As for the setting of the new "GTA" iteration, fans expect a much bigger location to do felony in. It was already hinted that London could be a possible background of the next game while some reports say the entire United States will now be available for gamers to trek in.
