GTA 6: 10 Rumours You NEED To Know
3. A Playable Female Protagonist
Further, it's about bloody time the series had a likeable female lead who didn't slink into the background behind her male counterparts or crudely use sex appeal and nothing else to get ahead. The world has changed since 2013, and people demand better, more well-rounded women in prominent roles.
Direct your attention back to that video from The Know and you'll hear them talk about an 'insider' source at Rockstar who assured them 6 would have a female protagonist. If that turns out to be true, good, although it is also fair to say few would applaud any decision taken for PR brownie points rather than the benefit of the game.
There's so much the game-makers could do with a branching, refreshing tale of female empowerment amidst what was once largely considered a man's world. In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, Rockstar man Dan Houser agreed by saying he hated the thought of sticking a female character in there for the sake of it.
That shows how long Rockstar have been thinking about it.
