The same rumour posted by Reddit user JackOLantern1982 (which has now been deleted) claimed that the next GTA will lean into a heavy influence from Netflix's Narcos, a crime drama series that charted the rise of the notorious real life drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar.

Apparently this very influence will see Rockstar's latest project boast a vast amount of non-English dialogue, with the game set to feature as many subtitles as Max Payne 3. This makes sense, given the title will supposedly see the player move from the streets of Rio to the beaches of Vice City, and the decision to strive for another level of authenticity by portraying different languages certainly lines up with what Rockstar have done in the past.

As for Narcos itself being an influence? That isn't all that surprising. The Netflix produced web series has proven hugely popular since its premiere, garnering multiple awards and accolades along the way.
