While that might sound like a bad thing for gamers, you’d be hard-pressed to find fans of the crime thriller that wouldn’t love to see a current-generation take on what sounds a lot like a modern version of Vice City.

GTA 6 was initially rumored to be taking place in a giant open world spread across locations in North and South America – something that sounds perfect for an on-the-run Bonnie and Clyde bank robbery spree – but is now apparently relegated to the sunny shores of the series’ fictional version of Miami. While the game is reportedly still, at the very least, two years away from seeing the light of day, the ambitious project is seemingly being truncated from initial targets. This news also comes along with what sounds like Rockstar deciding to significantly tone down some of its deeply offensive satirical humor – the company ditched some of the transphobic content in the latest releases of GTA V – for its next open-world crime game, according to Bloomberg’s sources. Reports suggested the game will center around a sort of Bonnie and Clyde-like duo, effectively ushering in the game’s very first female protagonist purported to be of Latin descent.

New details coming out from Bloomberg’s industry insider, Jason Schrier, might very well give us a better idea of what to expect when the game finally launches. Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 was in the works back in February, saying that “active development for the next entry in the series is underway,” although just about everyone assumed this was already the case by that time.
