PS5 Showcase Gives New Hope for GTA 6 Announcement
Some Grand Theft Auto fans believe that the long-awaited GTA VI may be announced during the upcoming Sony presentation. They base their hopes on rumors that been circulating for a long time.
This Thursday will mark seven years since the launch of Grand Theft Auo V on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Since then, the title has already appeared on three more platforms (PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) and is now heading for two more (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X). But what about its sequel? So far we've only heard unofficial reports and speculation about it. One of the most interesting rumors related to this game appeared in October last year. It said that GTA VI will be launched at the end of 2020, first on PlayStation 5 and a month later on other platforms. Weeks are passing, however, December is coming closer, and the official announcement of the latest installment of Rockstar's series is as nowhere to be seen. But not everything is lost. According to some players, there is a chance that Grand Theft Auto VI will appear at Sony's upcoming showcase.
Speculation on this subject is largely based on information that has appeared on the MarlonGamingNation channel on YouTube in recent days. About a month ago, its host interviewed one of the insiders, according to whom Sony has made a really big move that will be important for the whole industry. But that was just the beginning. Things got really interesting last week shortly after the announcement of Sony's conference, when Marlon organized a live broadcast, during which he reviewed the material from his sources informing what will appear at the upcoming event. The youtuber did not hide his surprise and excitement and stressed that it will be worth following Wednesday's event, because what we hear will sweep us off our feet Although he couldn't reveal any specifics, his behavior, combined with previous reports was quite obvious confirmation for some of the players, that the announcement of Grand Theft Auto VI is coming.

However, Rockstar itself has been keeping the mood down a little bit lately with people looking forward to any news about GTA VI. Its representatives have reported on Twitter that so far there is no news on the subject and asked everyone to wait for official announcements. Shawn Fonteno, who lent his vote to Franklin Clinton in GTA V, has also asked to abstain from pressuring the team. During the broadcast on his Instagram, he said that creating such ambitious games as those belonging to the Grand Theft Auto series takes time, and on top of that, the coronavirus pandemic slows everything down. To quote his words:
"It's about time. I'm telling you, if you take a look at our interviews, it took us four or four and a half years to complete GTA V. So, you have to understand."
The situation before Sony's Wednesday conference has therefore become very interesting. If you're interested in whether the announcement of GTA VI will actually appear during it, we remind that the broadcast will start at 1 PM PT. You can watch it on Twitch and YouTube.
