Houser, some time ago, stated that the story of a new GTA would bother many people, which caused some fans to interpret that the screenwriter already knows exactly how the plot will develop, so the possibility of the story being finished would really do. sense.
Vice City
It's been a while since a report by The Know mentioned that GTA 6 would have the return of Vice City. After that, the rumor gained strength and many players began to consider that this will actually come to fruition.
Liberty City and San Andreas have already appeared in the most recent titles in the franchise, which could mean it's time for Vice City to appear again as well, as the city is loved by many fans.

GTA V on PS5 may gain improvements with the graphics engine of Red Dead Redemption 2female character
In early January, a rumor emerged that indicated a female protagonist for the next Grand Theft Auto. On Twitter, insider Tom Henderson, known for accurate leaks of Call of Duty, stated that, for the first time in franchise history, the game will have a female protagonist and another male protagonist.

Americas Project
On Reddit, user JackO'Lantern 982 released information that indicated the game's plot, as well as locations where the title would take place, revealing the title Project Americas.

The rumor became known, but after some time the user deleted his post.
New NPC technology
Recently, Take-Two, owner of Rockstar Games, registered a patent for a new system with connection to NPCs, more precisely in traffic.
The new traffic system serves to manage the navigation of NPCs, directly influencing the behavior and also the paths of vehicles. The System and Method For Virtual Navigation In A Gaming Environment was developed by Simon Parr, head of AI programming, and David Hyn, associate director of technology at Rockstar.
The system, registered in October 2020, is expected to create a more realistic world without hardware or software limitations. The system should make it possible to perceive a more realistic traffic of cars and even boats, with drivers displaying an interesting behavior that provides more immersion.
With the system, NPCs must define their own routes and paths, taking into account their understanding of acceleration, speeds needed to make turns, maximum speeds and other characteristics.
There is a possibility that this system was created to be used in GTA 6, but it has also been said that it is for "navigation and virtual management of objects in a community of multiplayer games". So it's also possible that the system was created for improvements in GTA Online, something that doesn't seem so likely with a new title theoretically being closer and closer.
There is also the possibility that this was designed for the upcoming GTA Online, and could also be used for the main campaign.
Bully 2 canceled for Rockstar to focus on GTA 6
Insider Tez2 stated that the new GTA has been in development since 2015, but saw the pace of the project slow down in 2017 so that there was a greater focus on Red Dead Redemption 2, released in 2018, and Bully 2.
With this, Rockstar would have decided that the ideal would be to cancel Bully 2, thus starting to focus only on the Western franchise and Grand Theft Auto. On Reddit, Yan2295 confirmed Tez2's information.
Red Dead Redemption 2 dialogue system
There is a strong possibility that the new GTA will present a dialogue system with NPCs similar to that of Red Dead Redemption 2. This will give more immersion to the title and allow players to have even more freedom, with the possibility of interacting directly with the NPCs.
In addition, it is possible that NPCs also react according to the player's actions and state, making comments in various situations.
Many characters in the plot
In his many statements about GTA 6, insider Tom Henderson also said that the new title in the franchise will have a lot of characters.
In addition, Henderson, who also confirmed a female character as the protagonist, even said that the game will have a woman with a lot of technological knowledge.
