Rockstar Games is Teasing GTA 6 Again? Surprisingly, This Time Gamers Believe It [Update: Moon Phases]
Gamers craving information about GTA VI have caught a glimpse of an alleged hint from Rockstar Games referring to the next installment of the gangster series.
Update
Internet users surprise at every turn. It turns out that the image from GTA Online described below could contain more clues related to the release of GTA 6 than one might think. Another is... the moon.
Some fans - such as Reddit user ApprehensiveTop8927 and Dirty_Worka from Twitter - have noted that the moon visible in the screenshot is in its waning phase, which, from the perspective of US residents, it actually enters in the first days of October and then in the first days of November.
They also point to Rockstar Games' propensity to share important information on Tuesday: Red Dead Redemption and its sequel were announced and released on that very day of the week, and many Grand Theft Auto games debuted or were announced on Tuesdays in October.
Original news (September 30)
The veil of silence that Rockstar Games has shrouded Grand Theft Auto VIwith has been a source of veritable torture for many fans. To ease their suffering a little, gamers are desperately looking for any mention of the long-awaited game.
Recently, a lot of buzz was stirred up by an ordinary (but only seemingly?) announcement of an upcoming event in GTA Online.
Admittedly, most Internet users would not notice anything unusual in the post, but GTA fans spotted in it a blatant foreshadowing of the sixth installment. Their attention was drawn to the letters "V" and "I" visible on the left side of the graphic.. These are, of course, the first two letters of the word "VINEWOOD," but by the way they were highlighted, they bring to mind the number six written in the Roman system.
The most surprising thing, however, is that a good number of players actually believe that the developers wanted to convey something to them with this graphic. Here are some examples of high-rated comments from Reddit:
"The first reasonable post heralding GTA VIthat I've seen here in a while," writes Prudent-Wall416.
"One of the few times I think this is intentional," declares manlike_omzz.
"Also, the two characters are a man and a woman [in GTA VI the main characters are supposedly a brother and sister - editor's note], "points out Positive-Sir1930.
It is also interesting to note that more and more people are beginning to believe the recent reports, that the sixth installment would be announced on October 26, this year. The author of this "leak" has so far been treated on the web as an object of jokes, but apparently his reputation has significantly increased in recent days.
