While gamers are still enjoying the all new "Grand Theft Auto 5," speculations about the release date of "GTA 6" are already rampant.

The Fuse Joplin claimed that the highly anticipated car chase gaming title could be out sometine in between 2018 to 2020, since Rockstar Studios is still dedicated on "GTA 5 Online."

In an interview with Develop, president of the giant gaming studio, Leslie Benzies candidly talked about the upcoming "GTA," he did not however discuss the timeline for the release date.

"We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do," Benzies explained about the game's future.

"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.

Continuing, "It comes from the idea first. 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."

While there hasn't been any concrete news about "GTA 6" release date, there is an ongoing rumor suggesting that the upcoming open world game would take place in London following Benzies statement that the company considered the place for "GTA 5."

"For this one we were down in London and the idea of the three characters popped up again," he revealed. "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."

As for the characters, The Fuse Joplin reported that the "GTA 6" could finally feature a female character for the first time in the game's franchise. The rumor reportedly sparked following Rockstar founder, Dan Houser, hinted the possibility of a female protagonist on the game.
