Grand Theft Auto 6: 9 Insane Rumours You Need To See

3. Dual Male & Female Protagonists

Rockstar's already proven with gusto that it can juggle multiple player-controlled protagonists in a single game, but can it do well-written believable female characters? Had I been presented with that question prior to Red Dead Redemption 2 and the wonderful Abigail and Sadie, that would be a resounding no.

Grand Theft Auto isn't exactly renowned for its championing of complex personalities and relationships in its female cast, after all, with the majority of script work usually reserved for haunted souls like Michael and Trevor. But last year's return to the Old West; the sorrowful sequel to a last-gen masterpiece is proof if ever I've seen it that Rockstar has grown up.

As for the rhyme and reason behind a decision, our Adam and Eve are purported to be brothers and sisters in arms. The faintest of early signs that GTA 6 will revolve around a familial criminal empire, perhaps?

Fingers crossed.
