The plot and characters of the next game could definitely learn a lot from “GTA 5”, as the game did a lot to improve the quality of the franchise’s setup in this regard. Introducing three separate protagonists was a winning move for Rockstar, and it would be great to see them continuing this trend further.
There have been rumors that there might be a female character added as well, although those are still unconfirmed and we don’t know if Rockstar really are actively considering the idea. It would definitely make sense for them though, especially if they want to expand the gameplay even further.
On the other hand, some rumors are claiming that the game is going to be set in a real-life location and take its setting back by a few decades, and that could have even more implications for the lineup of characters.
We still have no idea what Rockstar are planning for the future of “GTA” but one thing is sure – the developers definitely aren’t going to let this franchise die down anytime soon. It’s one of the biggest things in gaming right now, and they would be very smart to continue working on it and expand it with even more features and interesting gameplay additions, and there are many more years of productivity that can be squeezed out of this franchise.
