'GTA 6' Release Date, News & Update: ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Moscow Map From Rockstar Could Fly?

"GTA 6" moving the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise by Rockstar to Russia with a Moscow map could fly. Although clamor for the "GTA 6" map to remain within US borders remains strong, a considerable number of "Grand Theft Auto" fans believe that a move overseas is overdue for Rockstar.

As far as the "GTA 6" map goes, news indicate that Rockstar has intentions of going supersize for its new "Grand Theft Auto" iteration. As far as location, news are equally loud between remaining Stateside and moving "GTA 6" to London as Parent Herald reports.

Citing GTA 5 Cheats analysis that takes "Grand Theft Auto" 6 to Moscow, Rockstar taking the game to one of the most popular tourist destinations in Russia shows promise. According to the media outlet, Moscow offers "GTA 6" a well-portioned map allowing the "Grand Theft Auto" geography to have clear boundaries.

Moscow further offers "GTA 6" the opportunity to play out its plot in the largest city in Russia. A Moscow map for "GTA 6" sets the "Grand Theft Auto" iteration in the city where the Russian White House, The Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Alexander Garden are nestled.

Plot-wise, GTA 5 Cheats proposes that "GTA 6" set in Moscow can weave illegal arms trade into the new "Grand Theft Auto" story. The Russian AK-47 Kalashnikov could then get a spotlight if Rockstar sets "GTA 6" in Moscow.

GTA 5 Cheats points out that drug deals and human trafficking can also be woven into the "Grand Theft Auto" Moscow plot. In this Moscow is not dissimilar to what the media outlet proposes for a "GTA 6" San Diego map.

Moscow does present "GTA 6" a few geographical drawbacks, which GTA 5 Cheats warns may compromise realism. Specifically, Moscow is limited in bodies of water with only the Moskova River for Rockstar to play around with for "GTA 6."

Fans had hoped to pick up some "GTA 6" news from Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive at Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany. Projections for "GTA 6" release by Rockstar mark 2018 and 2020 as targets.
