Some of the most recent pieces of news shown in the YouTube video above are about the era, extreme new weather mechanics, and a potential female protagonist. All of these features are things that fans have been wondering about since at least 2019.

On January 10, 2021, industry insider Tom Henderson tweeted about GTA 6 having dual protagonists that would be male and female. This started to fuel the fire of rumors about the game that there might be a brother and sister team to come. In the past month, he has also posted a YouTube video that discusses all known aspects of GTA 6, including the protagonists.

There has been a hot debate about this subject on Reddit, with some players saying that a single female protagonist would not interest them at all. However, many commenters on the GTA subreddits have made their positions clear a long time ago.

Some of the commenters were staunchly against a female protagonist, even going so far as to say they would not play the game if it was not a male character leading it. However, there were fewer negative comments like this, which made it clear that some people simply cannot imagine the game taking such a new direction.

Generally, however, the overall feeling among GTA fans and GTA 6 hopefuls was that Rockstar knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to making these games.

The majority of fans would happily see a female protagonist, and many also believe that there should be one in the next game. It would change the GTA world enough to give players a whole new view of it, in many gamers' opinions. Fans of the franchise hope to find out either way soon enough.
