A change on the Grand Theft Auto VI website has been noticed, adding yet more fuel to the flames of hope within GTA fans as they wait in anticipation for the next game in the series to be revealed.
This comes only a few days after a fresh batch of rumors emerged on Reddit and 4chan which hinted at an official announcement by Rockstar Games to be made sometime this week. Of course - being rumors from such flaky sources as Reddit and 4chan - these can only take us so far, and should be interpreted with much skepticism.
But with the addition of this latest blip on the radar, some fans are becoming more convinced that an announcement of the next Grand Theft Auto might be about to hit us. A post uploaded to Reddit (surprise surprise) on 24th March 2020 reads “gtavi.com does not redirect to Rockstar Games site anymore. Site updated today…”
The post is accompanied by a screenshot of the Whois record for the gtavi.com domain, which shows that the domain - which is owned by Rockstar Games - was updated on 23rd March 2020, along with a whole lotta other technical mumbo jumbo. The interesting thing is that this URL used to direct you automatically to Rockstar’s website, but now after this update it leads you to an annoyingly smug “This site cannot be reached” page.
So what? Well, according to fans on the Reddit thread in question, this tends to happen when a website is ready or about to launch. The thought of that has thrown fans into yet more fits of excitement as they get carried away fantasizing about where the much-anticipated GTA VI will be set. Many seem to believe it will entail a nostalgia-filled return to Vice City, others are hoping for some drug-smuggling action in Columbia, or perhaps even an ambitious whack at having the whole world involved somehow.
