GTA VI is on it's way. Set to take place in Houston aka Magnolia City

[TroyTheAverage]

Another game that I will go next gen console for. Were getting another Red Dead game and now a new GTA game. It is the stuff dreams are made of for gamers.

GTA fans can rejoice in the news that GTA VI is on the way. Set in Houston, Texas, GTA VI will take place in a city called “Magnolia City”. Reportedly the lead designer behind the game, James Cummings advises that:

“We really wanted to push the envelope on the scale of GTA 6, and that’s why we chose Houston. Houston is HUGE and very spread out. Our goal is to capture the true scale of Houston and its suburbs. This is going to be a big challenge for us, but we’ve never backed down from a challenge before. We WILL capture the essence and scale of Houston, from the skyscrapers to the shore.”

Magnolia City is one of Houston’s first nicknames, given to it in the 1870’s due to the vast fields of magnolias which have now all disappeared due to construction.

No release date has been provided as of yet and of course this is filled under rumor right now until we get said confirmation, however James Cummings apparently indicated that there will be a wait of around six months before any more information is revealed which suggests a reveal may be coming at Gamescom later this year.

We are hunting down a link to the official statement made by ‘James Cummings’ who isn’t currently listed on the Rockstar website (new employee ?) so stand by and we hope to update this article with it shortly.

This makes me very happy, I just hope it doesn't force the southern thing on us, but I don't know what Houston is actually like. As an outsider, I only see stereotypes.

It has been described to me as the LA/ Chicago of Texas by an old Marine buddy that lives there, or I guess just on the outskirts of Houston.

I work with a girl who used to live in Houston and she says it's really the most dangerous city in America. She said she was carjacked and raped there years ago and nothing has changed.

It's got some bad places like most cities. I'm looking forward to it.

I just found out the news is fake. I got it from what I thought was a good source, but I was wrong.
