By far one of the most exciting rumours regarding the new GTA is that it'll be set across a period of at least a decade, following our protagonist from the 1970s through to the 1980s, which of course is where the events of the original Vice City took place.

Taking a more historical approach has paid dividends for Rockstar in the past, and given the two most recent games were both set in the modern day, it makes sense that the studio would opt for something different this time around.

The same rumour also states that the game won't shy away from the political backdrop of each decade's milieu, citing both the AIDS Epidemic and what could potentially be the Mariel boatlift (the original rumour mentions an "immigration crisis"), which saw thousands of Cubans emigrate from Castro's regime to the US in 1980.
