The game's fans have been clamoring for a US-wide map instead of a smaller city map, and developing something of that magnitude, complete with a storyline and top-notch graphics may take longer than expected.
Other rumors have also emerged pointing out that maps of all the other "GTA" games will be rolled into larger map to create the environment of "GTA 6," however, these rumors have yet to be confirmed, as is another one of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes voicing characters for the yet-to-be-announced sequel.
Rockstar is also reported to be working on a global feel for the next game, bringing in Los Santos, Liberty City, San Andreas, and Vice City for side mission purposes. What the central city for "GTA 6" will be is still up for speculation.
Similar to the popular simulation game, "Sims," characters in "GTA 6" may be able to get into relationships with one another and even get married. Adding the relationship feature could take away the general "bad-assery" feel the "GTA" franchise has been running on since the beginning however.
Fans of the game should also expect a wide collection of vehicles for the sequel, including cars from the 1950s and 1960s. There may also the inclusion of a main female character in "GTA 6," based on reports Rockstar founder, Dan Houser, has already given the go-signal for such a character.
