The release of the hottest Rockstar Games title, "Grand Theft Auto V," for the PS4 and Xbox One is just two weeks away but the upcoming game is already sharing the Internet limelight with its rumored successor. "GTA VI" is already a searing topic for gamers and a bunch of niceties and speculations are already out and about.

Word is that the future GTA installment will go all the way back to its roots. Yes, it is none other than the 2002 action-adventure video game "GTA: Vice City." The best-selling title gives its players the opportunity to go around Miami, exploring its rich 1980s American culture while trying to climb up the ladder of organized crime. Therefore, gamers could not help but expect another wild expedition in the grand city.

However, according to Rockstar Games President Leslie Benzies, adapting the same setting "in a different time period" would only "feel strange," KDrama Stars reported.  Still, rumors considering the possibility remain persistent.  

Nonetheless, the well-regarded developer stays restless in putting together another title that is larger-than-life.

"We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do. We don't know what GTA VI will be, but we've got some ideas. GTA Online is the focus right now," Benzies told Develop in an interview.

"Plus we have some other things – stuff, DLC, I don't know how to describe it exactly – that we'd like to do, and we'll pick the right ones," he added.

Rockstar Games seems to have not commenced the production for the next of the GTA series so gamers can only hope that the developer will revert and break through their busy schedule to make room for another classic.

Apart from the anticipated re-establishment of Vice City, gamers believe (and dream) that "GTA VI" will be home to an enormous open-world location with various cities to explore like Detroit, Mexico and Texas. Some rumors suggest that it will just be squeezed into one package.

Some chitchat also touches on Rockstar Games's prospect change concerning characters. Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser has already explained how "GTA V" and its masculine premise heavily rely on the dominant number of male protagonists in the game. However, various media outlets have reported the chances of a female character leading a pack of crooks, should the plotline of the story allow.

"GTA VI" may still be no more than a notion at the moment but fans of the commended video game may look ahead to more GTA goodies as Rockstar Games has many more of those up their sleeves for sure.
