Huge GTA 6 Leak - Everything You Need To Know

7. Several Decade-Long Story

To some gamers - your humble scribe included - Vice City edges it as the most enjoyable entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. And for GTA VI, we could well be re-entering the world of Tommy Vercetti.

If this leak is to believed, GTA VI will operate under a chapter system similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, with the first two chapters set in the 1970s. The missions of the game will take on a largely free, roaming structure that will span several decades across Miami and possibly other areas of Florida.

The main story itself will clock in at around the 60-hour mark, and will feature the mafia, a handful of missions in Liberty City, and a wealthy, cocaine-selling 'big bad' simply referred to as "The Mexican".

As for Tommy Vercetti, he'll exist in this world, but we reportedly won't ever meet him. Instead, players will meet Vice City and San Andreas' Ken Rosenberg, who will make several mentions of Tommy.

Here's hoping by the time of GTA VI's release, the call has been made to at least show Vercetti, even if it's a brief, fleeting appearance - for he still stands as one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, 19 years after Vice City was released.
