GTA 6 Project Americas: Everything You Need To Know

8. There's Only One Playable Protagonist, And They Aren't A Woman

One of the prevailing rumours regarding GTA 6 has been that the game would retain the previous entry's focus on multiple protagonists. The two biggest ones thus far offer two competing narratives, with one maintaining a focus on dual protagonists, and the other saying Rockstar have abandoned the concept altogether.

The frustrating part is that both rumours actually sound really believable. The first posits that players will take control of one character, called Ricardo, as he performs smuggling operations for the cartel between South America and Vice City. You eventually work your way up to the top alongside another character, called Kacey - at which point new mechanics revolving around the game's economy are apparently introduced. It was previously rumoured that GTA 6 would feature the series' first playable female protagonist, but that appears to be incorrect if the latest rumours are anything to go by.

It all sounds very Scarface, and while some might consider a possible decision to backpedal on the multiple protagonists of GTA V a back step overall, it wouldn't be without its benefits, just as the decision to focus on more than one proved occasionally problematic over the course of the last story's runtime.

Either way, it seems as though Rockstar are aiming to make GTA 6's single-player as epic as possible. Whether they achieve that with just one character or more, however, remains to be seen.
