‘GTA 6’ Possible to Feature Female Lead Character, Fans Will Likely Have To Wait Until 2020 For The Release

It seems that fans would have to wait three more years before they can get their hands on Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto 6." But there are rumors that one of the major differences that "GTA 6" will have from its predecessors is the presence of a female lead.

According to a report from N4BB, it is believed that the latest installment of "GTA" will be having the same basic gameplay principles as the Rockstar Games' earlier versions of "GTA." One difference is that "GTA 6" is expected to have a first-person mode.

Rockstar Games have been using third-person with the franchise since "GTA 3." But the major difference "GTA 6" will be having from its predecessors is the possibility of allowing players to play the game with a female protagonist.

The game has been criticized in how it portrays females in the game, but this criticism has likely been the fuel that prompted Rockstar to have a female lead character. The report said that there are possibly more major changes coming to "GTA 6," due to the legal battle between the former big boss of Rockstar Leslie Benzies and the company itself.

Rockstar and Benzies were in a legal battle because of more than $150 million worth of unpaid royalties. This legal battle will likely prompt the company to make major changes to avoid a similar incident.

As to when "GTA 6" will finally come out, Tech Radar reports that Rockstar Games is still busy with the likely release of "Red Dead Redemption 2" this 2017. And some reports are saying that the wait could be until 2020.

The report also said that this is not unusual considering that Rockstar has been supporting GTA Online with constant updates since "GTA 5" released in September 2013. If the company will be supporting "Red Dead Redemption 2" online, similar to its support to "GTA," then it's likely they will be ready after three years.

For now, fans will just have to wait and see what Rockstar Games will have in store for "GTA 6." Check out the latest trailer from Rockstar Games regarding "GTA Online Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit."
