Strange Easter Egg Contains a Teaser of GTA 6?

Rockstar Games may have reminded players about Grand Theft Auto VI. All thanks to the coordinates from a teaser of the upcoming update for GTA Online, which seems to lead to a somewhat surprising easter egg.

Take-Two is unlikely to complain about revenues in recent months (or even years), even though there have been no major releases that would equal Red Dead Redemption 2 or Grand Theft Auto V. However, the latter fact definitely does not please fans of Rockstar Games, and especially the GTA series. After seven years without any official reports about the new installment of the popular series, gamers react lively to every possible leak (and not only leaks) that may reveal anything about Grand Theft Auto VI.

Of course, the unwavering belief in random entries from unconfirmed sources is not very reasonable. But it's different when food for though is provided by Rockstar itself. In the recent teaser of the big update planned for Grand Theft Auto Online there are mysterious coordinates which, when entered into the search engine, show a location in Virginia. The first report on this discovery was made by YouTube channel West Highland Productions, which also drew attention to a most intriguing issue. If after entering these coordinates we load satellite images, a fragment of the road will appear to our eyes, according to fans, suspiciously resembling a "VI".

After this report, there was immediately further speculation on Reddit, message boards etc. Perhaps the action of GTA 6 will take place in Virginia, what would be in line with the Roman six in the title (VI) and the state's name? Or maybe the upcoming update for Grand Theft Auto Online will bring with it a thread connecting the online module of the fifth installment of the series with the sixth one?

We emphasize: the above theories are only theories of Internet users, who may go much too far in their guesses. Another thing is that the employees of Rockstar Games apparently took the time to find a specifically shaped path only to be able to add this enigmatic easter egg to the teaser. Unless they knew the path from their expeditions to the are, for example, when they were taking pictures that would serve as a model for recreating locations in game. Or - strange but possible - the coordinates are entirely without meaning, the place is completely random, and desperate fans see information about GTA VI where there is none. Anyway, for now, it's better to keep our fantasy in check and wait for official and much less vague signals from Rockstar Games.
