Where will the next "Grand Theft Auto" game be set? Master Herald reported that recent rumors are pointing to a London setting.

"One of the most likely choices at this point is London, if the latest rumors are to be trusted - this will be the first 'GTA' game to be set in a real-world location in a while, and it could definitely make things interesting. We've actually already had a London-themed 'GTA' game among the very first installments in the franchise, and this could be a curious tie-in with the game's past," to quote the Master Herald report.

Previously, What Culture earlier rallied for a "GTA 6" game set in London, even listing seven reasons for it to happen. The news outlet claims that the new "GTA" game should take place in London since the franchise is a "British phenomenon" and is the home of many historical events, thus, enabling gamers to create histories on their own. Plus, it noted that London has a "diverse range of people and cultures." "Endless amounts of possible missions, characters and plots" could then be shaped in the new game, it adds.

Since Britain is the home of many awesome classic cars like Jenson Interceptor, Aston Martin DB5, Austin Mini, and Austin Healy, gamers would then have the chance for a more variety of vehicles in different missions. Its black taxis could even be used in missions. The city is also notorious for gangs and boasts of its wide-range of weapons and police officers. Plus, London is one of the most visited cities in the world and is very popular.

Should "GTA 6" be set in London? What do you think? Kpopstarz reported that some fans have aired their support for a "GTA 6" being set in London, citing a thread at V4chan. From the thread, a commenter said, "the game would be perfect to be set in Europe for its immigrant problems, patriotic idiots, ugly strippers for comedy, almost the same crime rate in New York and the ghettos," Kpopstarz reported.

Other Speculations on Locations

Earlier, there was a suggestion from Movoto saying that the new game should be set in Portland, Oregon as it is the perfect setting for the game since it has at least nine gun stores, over 80 different strip clubs, many shops, and six police stations.

Plus, we also reported that there were speculations that it would return to Liberty City or Vice City. A separate report from Baller Status earlier cited DJ Whoo Kid saying, "I was in Call Of Duty and I was in some Grand Theft Auto games. I'm 'bout to be in the new Grand Theft Auto that takes place in New York again." Baller Status said the statement could mean that the game would come back to the Liberty City, where the 1997 original game took place.

Master Herald said "GTA" is likely to come out in 2018.
