GTA 6 Announced

 

Today bought us probably the biggest piece of gaming news for the year as Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced.

 

Instead of going down the route of GTA 4's DLC packs The Ballad of Gay Tony and  The Lost And The Damned. Rockstar have not only announced that they'll be bringing us a whole new game in the lead up to next year's holiday period, but they'll also be doing it from their brand new studio.

 

As mentioned, Rockstar have a brand new studio tasked with making the new Grand Theft Auto game which is based in the unlikely locale of Pyongyang. The game, set in Pyongyang sees players as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in an adventure where you rob, murder and criminally climb your way to being Kingpin of the country and invade South Korea by infiltrating street gangs and spreading "the only true political doctrine". The game map is ambitious to say the least and has been reported to cover the entire map of both North and South Korea, but this does mean that certain customisation options have been lost, so you'll only have access to one costume and one hairstyle in game. Surprisingly, the radio stations that poke fun at the American way of life have stayed, in character at least but music has been cut and replaced with North Korean patriotic songs and their national anthem.

 

Dan Houser has left the PR for the game down to studio head, David Maydup who said "I'm extremely excited about this game and what it could mean for relations between North Korea and the West. There's been a lot of talk about how Kim Jong Un will be able to spread his message of peaceful unity around the world, and the challenge of expanding the party and invading an entire country ingame has been an exhausting but satisfying one"

 

It's also been revealed that the North Korean government have been working very closely with Rockstar, not only in making sure that the map is geographically correct, but also in making sure that the Kim Jong Un character model is anatomically correct and shows him as an accurate and government approved 6 foot 4 and has the also government approved record breaking penis size.

 

Nothing has been released in way of screenshots, but the boxart has been released and the game is due for a November 31st release next year and has already sold at least 2.4 copies per North Korean household since pre-orders went live over the weekend. Also, more excitingly the game will be a PS3 and PS4 exclusive, playable on all machines worldwide and on special region locked machines that only allow Hello Kitty Online Adventures, Tekken 5 (Glorious Leader Edition) and of course GTA 6. 



More on this story as it breaks, but GTA is coming again.
