'GTA 6' release date update 2016: New location and history-making protagonist revealed?

Although developer Rockstar Games hasn't spoken much about "Grand Theft Auto 6," more rumors about the "GTA 5" sequel continue to hit the web.

According to reports, "GTA 6" will make history in the franchise by featuring the first female protagonist in the mega-popular video game series.

"Fast and Furious" alum Eva Mendes will reportedly be either the voice of the character or her likeness will also be given to the purported "GTA 6" protagonist.

There are also tons of rumors what location the upcoming "GTA" iteration will feature next. The latest report is that the game could be set in Seattle.

A smuggling ring storyline will reportedly be utilized in "GTA 6." There were also reports that the game will move out of United States and into London.

This was rumored after Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser suggested in a The Guardian interview that the region will be amazing to recreate in a game. However, he believed that London is better off in an entirely new game rather than in "GTA."

"I think there are plenty of great stories we could tell about the UK, great environments to showcase, great gameplay mechanics that could have a UK bent to them – I just don't think it would be a GTA necessarily," Houser explained.

Rockstar has been throwing ideas about "GTA 6" since "GTA 5" was just released. Three years ago in an interview with Develop, former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzies said that the team has "about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do."

"We don't know what GTA 6 will be, but we've got some ideas," he explained

With regards to the release date of the "GTA 6," it is being said it is going to be a long wait. The game is even rumored to come out for next-generation consoles.
