Predicting 3 ways how the GTA 6 story may unfold

1) Bonnie and Clyde's story

It has long been rumored that the GTA 6 story mode would be inspired by the real-life Bonnie and Clyde. While Rockstar Games has yet to give us solid proof, there are many indications in the official trailers and screenshots. The inclusion of Lucia as the first female protagonist of the series is also one of the hints.

If this turns out to be true, we can expect Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos to commit various crimes and loot across the State of Leonida. The duo may rob various banks and business establishments, and one of them may die at the end of the GTA 6 story.

The Grand Theft Auto community is strongly rooting for a similar story. However, nothing can be said for sure until we get to play the GTA 6 campaign missions.

2) Hacking and cybercrime

The first official trailer put heavy emphasis on the use of social media. Therefore, we can expect that technology will play a major role in the GTA 6 story. To date, no other games in the Grand Theft Auto series put heavy emphasis on technology and social media. However, the upcoming title could be the first one to do so.

Lucia is also rumored to be a hacker in the upcoming game. The GTA 6 protagonists may use hacking and other tech-related means to steal money from their targets.

One thing to note is that older Grand Theft Auto games have heists as one of the mission types. However, the almost entire gameplay of GTA 5 is focused on heists. Hacking mini-games are very prominent in Grand Theft Auto Online. Therefore, there is a chance that Rockstar may use it as the theme for the GTA 6 storyline.

3) Drug wars

The GTA 6 story may also put emphasis on drug wars between various gangs. The second trailer showed Jason Duval, Cal Hampton, and Brian Heder directly involved in the narcotics trade, where they send supplies using planes.

Lucia Caminos is also from Liberty City, which is historically known for being dominated by various crime families, who deal in controlled substances. One of the official screenshots also showed an NPC offering drugs to another character. Therefore, there is a possibility that drug wars may be the theme of the GTA 6 story.

The City of Vice is always known for cartels and drug empires in the Grand Theft Auto series. The upcoming HD Universe version may also follow the same route. However, we will have to wait till the GTA 6 release date to know the full story.
