Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series are incredibly excited for GTA VI - despite no official announcements or information surrounding the game as of yet. With the continuing success of GTA Online, it may still be a while off, but one industry insider has shed some details on when the game may be arriving and what we can expect.
Tom Henderson - who is commonly known for leaking Call of Duty and Battlefield information - has released a video detailing what he's heard about the upcoming sandbox game. According to Henderson, the game could potentially adapt the fan favourite location of Vice City and turn it into a modern day setting. He also added that we shouldn't expect the game until 2025 at the earliest.
Perhaps more interesting is Henderson's comparison with the game and the extremely popular Fortnite. No, we're not expecting you to be diving into the world of Vice City in a battle royale mode, but the game may be taking some other elements it's famous for - most notably, its ever-changing map. Henderson claims we may see the world of Vice City change over time, much like GTA Online.
How this would transpire is using seasons throughout the year and adding more locations over time. This is something GTA Online has somewhat adopted already, incorporating new elements since its launch such as the casino. It even got an island heist mission last year, which was set in an entirely brand-new zone. While Henderson mentions Fortnite, the claims are sounding more in-line with the ever evolving nature GTA Online has followed since its launch.
Of course, with the game supposedly not being out until 2025, these are possibly very early ideas - if true, obviously. In this stage of development, concepts can be dramatically changed or even removed completely. It's worth taking these comments with a pinch of salt for now, but they're intriguing nevertheless.

2025? Man that's 12 years after GTA 5. I was 19 when that game came out. I'll be in my 30s when GTA 6 comes out. That is insanity.
Going to need a mountain of salt for this one.
@Chaudy
Don’t worry I’m over 50, I might dead time it comes out 😂
@Chaudy We got GTA 3 in 2001, Vice City in 02, and San Andreas in 04. I miss the days when we would get games like that without having to wait over a decade for them.
Forget GTA VI, share some leaks about Forza Horizon 7 in 2025. I need more new info after the Forza Horizon 6 reveal that it’s taking place on Antarctica. I mean I get it, in 2023 Antarctica will have more extreme changing seasons because of global warming but I can only whip my RS200 for skill points on an empty ice sheet for so long.
Sadly Rockstar seems more interested in pushing the boundaries of what is technically possible over making actual games in a reasonable timeframe and are concentrating on the wrong aspects of the games.
I like new shiny games as much as the next man but there's absolutely a sensible balance to be had. RDR2 with it's weather dependant horse bollocks and frustrating "REAL" animations and unresponsive controls have moved further and further away from what they were focussed on at their peak... great gameplay, humour and having FUN. (It did have a great, if overlong story)
I have no doubt it will be a VERY good game, but ultimately I think they cripple themselves from actual progress by concentrating on the wrong things e.g. stock market changing based on your behaviour in GTA5 vs better gameplay, story, humour etc.
As such GTA4 and GTA5 were worse than 3, VC & SA.
