GTA 6 NEWS: Vice City Release Date Characters, PS4 Trailer Rumors & More [UPDATE]

A report released by Cyberland suggests that one of the characters for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 game will be Asian, with another character being a descendant of Red Dead Redemption character John Marston.

GTA 6 rumors are bouncing between having Vice City or Texas as a location for the upcoming game, leaving many gamers wondering if Rockstar Games is in the middle of a location change.

Most information surrounding the game's release date, however, points to Vice City as the likely contender.

GTA 6 allegedly had behind-closed-doors release date announcement at E3 2014, The Fuse Joplin reports. The site also mentions the game is likely to be scheduled for a 2017 release date.

Although most rumors also suggest a release date for the same year, Rockstar Games has not mentioned any specific information about the title. 

A Wikipedia page listing characters of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City mentions that Mercedes Cortez, Colonel Cortez's daughter, was intended by game developers to include a deeper relationship with the game's protagonist Tommy Vercetti.

"She is initially set up as a possible love interest for Tommy Vercetti, but this plot line is never fully explored," the website page reads.

"Hidden and unused phone conversation between Tommy and Mercedes revealed that there were originally intentions by the game developer to include a deeper relationship between the two characters. Audio files of Mercedes' phone calls usually have to deal with the fact that she wants to 'spend some time alone with Tommy' when she is mad, happy or bored."

Could Mercedes Cortez be the female character rumors are suggesting will lead the Vice City-themed GTA 6 game?
