Rockstar Announcing 'GTA 6' Is Officially In Development Leads To Outpouring Of Memes Expressing Relief And Concern
After nine years, Rockstar has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is already in development. The news excited a fanbase that was still largely reeling from the abysmal quality of the recent release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
Social media was immediately filled with excitement as people posted reaction images and memories of GTA 5, as well as speculation and polls on what new features or locations might be in the next step of the series. Also part of the announcement news was that PlayStation 5 would be getting its next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto: Online on March 15th.
However, there were some who weren't exactly thrilled at the development announcement. While many appeared to be happy with the game series and are thrilled that there is more on the way, they took umbrage with how long it took to announce the game was in development and what this could mean for the full dev cycle of the game.
With the recent release of Dying Light 2, gamers had just finally gotten rid of one of the longest running memes in gaming, only for a new one to start up with how long they expect it to take for GTA VI to finally drop. This has also kick-started a resurgence of GTA V memes being posted, especially if they relate to the longevity that the game had with being released on three different generations of consoles.

I doubt GTA 6 will be good since all the original creators are gone now….

Given how they've absolutely molested GTAOnline with shark cards, I can't help but think it's going to be GTA5: 2.

Correction: GTA Online 2. Still, hope it's at least set in Vice City or either San Fierro or Las Venturas, although, knowing Rockstar I wouldn't be surprised if they choose all three and left the maps mostly empty.

I have saved to my drive a fan-made map of GTA6 that includes every location from prior GTA and Red Dead games: Liberty City and a new design for Vice City on the East Coast, the Red Dead 2 map fills out the Midwest, and thje San Andreas map on the West Coast but with the GTA5 map in place of old Los Santos.
