There has been no news regarding when the new "Grand Theft Auto" game will be introduced to the gaming community, but fans are hopeful for a 2018 release date. Meanwhile, there are many possible locations where the new "GTA 6" could be set in.

"Grand Theft Auto" is an open-world, action/adventure role-playing game created by Rockstar. The first ever "GTA" game was released back in 1997, and the latest game, "GTA 5" was released only in 2013.

Many are hopeful that "GTA 6" will be released in 2018, given that the gap between "Grand Theft Auto V" and its predecessor was also five years. But so far, there hasn't been any confirmation if the game is already in production or when it will hit the market.

There's already a big hype about the "GTA 6" release, and a lot of speculations about its possible features are already spreading all over the Internet.

Aside from wardrobe variety, special weapons, and house options, the most talked about game feature when it comes to "GTA 6" is its location. There is a high chance that the game will stick within the borders of the United States, but it is also possible that Rockstar will finally delve into foreign lands for "GTA 6."

Grown Gaming proposed six different locations that would take "GTA 6" to a higher level of gaming experience.

At the top of the list is London. The first location ever used for the "GTA" game map that was released almost 20 years ago was London. Later on, Rockstar used locations within the U.S., such as Liberty City and San Andreas, which they have also revisited in later versions of the game. But "GTA" has not yet returned to London. It would be a great to have a new style of environment that London can bring to "GTA" in terms of transportation and building structures.

An interesting suggestion is Russia because snow was showcased in "GTA V." The idea of snow ridden Moscow and an abundance of murders and vodka would be a great addition to the game.

"Grand Theft Auto VI" is expected to be released in 2018.
