Following the successful launch of "Granf Theft Auto 5," fans are already clamoring to hear news about "GTA 6" and its release date.

The Fuse Joplin previously reported that the highy anticipated game is due for release sometime in 2017.

And while Rockstar Studios has yet to comment on the said report, president Leslie Benzies discussed the possibility of "GTA 6" during a recent interview with Develop.

"We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do," Benzies said when asked about the progress of the franchise.

"We don't know what GTA VI will be, but we've got some ideas. GTA Online is the focus right now. There ain't no rest between finishing V and then Online. Plus we have some other things - stuff, DLC, I don't know how In regard to the setting of the new game, it is still unknown as to where the new open world game would take place. Benzies claimed that with each place the game is set then it would give a different story and angle as to how the game would run.

Adding, "It comes from the idea first," he claimed. "Where is it going to be set is the first question. Then that defines the missions; you're doing different things in LA than in New York or Miami. The map and story get worked up together, and the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the missions in."

In addition to the "GTA 6" release date rumors it's also been expected that the upcoming game title could finally take on the London setting following Benzies statement that Europe was taken into consideration for "GTA 5" but it unfortunately did not work for the tech team.

"For this one we were down in London and the idea of the three characters popped up again," he explained of "GTA 5's" setting. "We'd actually considered it for San Andreas because there were three cities, but it didn't work from a tech point of view because the three characters need three times as much memory, three types of animation, and so on.

"We throw stuff in the pot, and the good stuff stays and the bad stuff disappears - there are a lot of gatekeepers at the studio, who ensure not much of the chaff makes it through. Some of the good ideas, like the three characters, stick around."

A thread from 4chan also suggests the same as "immigrant problems, patriotic idiots, ugly strippers for comedy, almost the same crime rate in New York and the ghettos" would be a perfect venue for new twists in the game.
