The reveal is finally almost here. But first, some news.
The Grand Theft Auto 6 news is about to reach a fever pitch with the game’s true debut on Netflix tomorrow, but a new exclusive interview revealed a ton of info ahead of time.
The interview between Dazed Magazine and several Rockstar Games devs revealed that the studio “more than doubled in size” since launching Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, with multiple locations around the globe. One such location, based in Los Angeles, is essentially there to create the game’s NPCs that wander the world, according to the report.
In the article, Dazed said the LA branch of Rockstar is “dedicated almost solely to the world of in-game pedestrians,” and “more than 50 real street artists were brought in to design murals in places like Vice City’s Stockyard (based on Wynwood, Miami).” Basically, GTA 6 is aiming for a level of detail we maybe have never seen before.
“Young and old, tall or short, tattooed, pierced or modified with plastic surgery, wearing throwback Hawaiian shirts, sharp suits, luxury fashion or muddy combat gear, the bodies and clothes of the virtual masses are also far more varied than in previous games, and more tailored to their local environments, from Vice City’s Little Cuba to the wilderness of Mount Kalaga national park,” the article says.
With Vice City lampooning Miami, Florida, Rockstar brought in a stylist native to the area named Jillian Carr back in 2023. They’ve since gone to work to make the people in the game as authentic as possible.
“Vice City is built around vanity,” said Carr. “Between social media, celebrity culture and a constant flow of tourists, appearances carry significant weight, and trend cycles turn over quickly.”
The exclusive with Dazed is the most info Rockstar has given about GTA 6 ahead of its debut. The article confirms that Jason and Lucia’s bodies will change depending on things like food, sleep, and exercise. In-game choices have repercussions, and NPCs will react to you as you walk around the environment, like if you’re openly carrying a rifle.
