GTA 6: 10 Best Leaks & Rumours We Want To Come True

2. Custom Character

Far Cry was the latest open-world game to forgo character and more personal information for a blank slate that then lets the player project their most anarchic desires over the top, and it's now heavily rumoured that GTA will follow suit.

After all, it's par for the course in GTA Online, will likely also be in Red Dead Online's multiplayer, and fits GTA's stories fairly well, being GTA III's Claude is still a fan favourite.

There's a lot that can be done with a silent anti-hero shrugging and strutting their way through a world of criminality. In many ways it means Rockstar don't have to worry about the sort of personality-in-cutscenes vs. in-game clashes of GTA IV, nor any exploration into motivation over time.

With a standard avatar, we can invent our own backstory and reinforce the whys and wherefores of criminal life along the way. Plus if all else fails, just create another Claude in 4K.
