Listen, the buzz around GTA 6 is like waiting for your order at a new restaurant—everyone’s excited but dreading a delay. So, there’s gossip floating around about the story being all over the place at first. I mean, really different. If you believe the latest whispers, Rockstar might have had a whole other plot going.
First off, they pushed back the release to May 26, 2026. Yeah, 2026! Almost 13 years since the last game. Why does this keep happening, right? Well, they say it’s to make sure everything’s perfect. But, you know, sometimes I wonder if it’s just a classic case of “better late than never”—or maybe it’s never coming, who knows?
Anyway—wait, let me get back to what I was saying—they had this idea of three characters: a shady cop, the cop’s kid, and some “right-hand man” to a Colombian drug lord. Imagine the chaos, right? Maybe they thought it was too much or just got sidetracked—and who doesn’t?
On top of that, we’re hearing about another version focusing on a Vice City cop seeking revenge for her mom’s death. And get this, there was even a plot about a cop and an ex-soldier. All these stories floating around like whispers at a party. It’s like Rockstar’s brainstorming sessions are broadcasting live in our heads.
Okay, side note—I bet you’ve noticed old Dan Houser left Rockstar back in 2020. So, how legit are these rumors, you ask? Maybe he was just scribbling notes while working on Red Dead Redemption 2. But hey, it’s intriguing to think about all the “might-have-beens,” right?
Anyway, as it stands now, we’ll be riding along with Lucia and Jason—sounds like a mismatched duo straight out of an action movie. Lucia’s fresh out of prison and Jason’s tangled up with the underworld. Vice City, here we come. Oh, and there’s this swirl of talk that Jason might be some sort of secret cop. It’s all rumors and popcorn until May 2026 rolls around.
So, while we’re playing the waiting game, just buckle up. The twists are coming, and who knows if any of those scrapped stories will shape the final plot. But that’s a mystery for next year’s me to unravel.
