But this would be a safe bet and welcome nostalgic journey. You\u2019ll have to wait a little while before taking on this<strong> trip down memory lane,<\/strong> though. GTA VI is slated to only come out in <strong>2023\/24<\/strong>. This is due to numerous workplace concerns that have culminated in the company stopping overtime altogether in favor of healthier working conditions and happier developers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These workplace concerns have also led to the creators of the game having to reign in their ambition. As we reported recently, the initial idea for GTA VI was a game that spans more than just numerous cities, as San Andreas did, but <strong>numerous continents<\/strong>. This would have resulted in the biggest and most ambitious game in the history of gaming &#8211; unless, of course, you count Microsoft\u2019s Flight Simulator, which created a near-perfect replica of the entire Earth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"GTA VI female lead protagonist 2\" class=\"wp-image-197758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/GTA-VI-female-lead-protagonist-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t know how big the GTA VI world will be exactly, or how many regions it will span, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/grand-theft-auto-vi-will-have-female-main-character-for-first-time-in-series-history-1.1797619\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Bloomberg\u2019s report\">Bloomberg\u2019s report<\/a> confirms that the game will have an ever-evolving world that grows as the game progresses. This is still a first within the GTA franchise. Another first will come in the form of a female lead protagonist. You read that right.<strong> The future of GTA is half-femal<\/strong>e. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We say half because the Latina female lead will share the role of the protagonist with her male companion. We don\u2019t know what their relationship will be, but Bloomberg and Rockstar make numerous references to Bonnie and Clyde, which promises to be interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the time period during which the new game will take place, all we have are suspicions at this point. Judging from the modernity of the building in the background of the teaser image, as well as the clothing choices, helicopter, drones, and a bike with almost future-forward headlights, we expect the setting to be somewhere<strong> between 2022 and 2025<\/strong>.
