With Grand Theft Auto 6 releasing next month, Rockstar Games is giving fans more reasons to look beyond Leonida's open world and into the people who will inhabit it. The upcoming open-world crime game has already drawn plenty of attention for its unique worldbuilding features, its new take on Vice City, and so much more. However, GTA 6's story could be just as important as the world surrounding it, especially when it comes to understanding why its main characters make the choices they do.
Rockstar has spent decades building Grand Theft Auto around criminal characters who find themselves caught between their circumstances and their ambitions. Some protagonists want to escape their past, while others see crime as their best chance at getting ahead. Those motivations can make the series' characters more complicated than their actions initially suggest, leaving players to decide whether their choices are understandable, justified, or simply the result of who they are.
Grand Theft Auto 6 fans need to take out their calendars, circle October 19, and be hyped when the day comes.
