GTA VI: 9 Things That Must Happen In 2018
6. Links To Previous Games Must Be Established
For the most part, GTA sequels haven't shared much of a connection with each other. Perhaps because they take place in different cities (and sometimes entirely different time periods), there hasn't been many possibilities for crossovers between games.
Having created some of the most interesting and charismatic main characters of the whole series in the last game though, it would be a shame for Rockstar to not include them in one form or another going forward.
It would be entirely new for the franchise if GTA VI continued the stories of previous protagonists, and a direct connection could appeal to fans disappointed they weren't allowed to continue living the lives of these characters through single-player DLC in the last game.
Obviously whether the devs attempt to stick to the continuity of the series or opt to wipe the slate clean is entirely up to them, but by this time next year we should know whether GTA VI is going to be a familiar experience, or something new entirely.
