A Reddit user has sent gamers into a proper frenzy by leaking an alleged list of details from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
Posting under the account JackOLantern1982, the user claims GTA 6 will be set in both Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Old mate JackO also reveals the game will take place in the 1970s and 1980s and follow a Narcos-inspired drug cartel storyline that involves working your way up the ladder. No word on whether or not Pablo Escobar makes an appearance.
Rumored GTA 6 details:

JackO claims to have a friend who โhas worked at Kotaku and PC Gamerโ and also a โdear friend at Rockstar.โ Hmmm.
Other best bits from the leak include:
- You play as an up and coming drug lord-wannabe named โRicardo.โ
- Weather is a heavy focus, prepare to battle floods and hurricanes.
- The narrative reflects historical events. A fictional version of Fidel Castro may appear.
- Next-gen only, not PS4 or Xbox One, so built for PS5 or Xbox Project Scarlett.
- No ETA on a release date though rumoured to be 2021/22.
Itโs been six years since Rockstar blessed us with GTA 5- which recently topped 110 million copies in global sales โ so itโs about time we copped the next drop in the Grand Theft Auto story.
Though it remains to be seen if this Narcos-rumour is the real deal or simply a Reddit-red herring designed to mess with us all.
