Grand Theft Auto 6 is easily one of the most hyped games of all time. It's up there with The Elder Scrolls 6 as games that need to succeed. As the follow-up to the second-best-selling game of all time, Rockstar Games needs to deliver. The studio has likely cycled through at least a couple of builds over the years. In fact, one insider reveals that an earlier concept for GTA 6 featured three major cities and four protagonists.
As per Axios, the initial plan for GTA 6 was to literally one-up GTA 5 with one more protagonist with events that will take place across three cities. However, it now claimed that Rockstar eventually dialed down its ambitions.
At the moment, the consensus is that GTA 6 will have two protagonists, including the series' first-ever female lead.
Another report also denies claims that Rockstar wanted to have three protagonists for GTA 6. But, it did not say anything about four. However, since this is video game development in the 21st century we are talking about, Rockstar could always come back to its scrapped plans. Specifically, GTA 6 could get more DLC content that will introduce the canned protagonists as new characters.
