If you’re a fan of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise, we’ve got some new hints, leaks and rumours for you. 

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games recently registered two websites associated with the GTA franchise. Take-Two Interactive quietly register domains for "gtavicecityonline' and 'gtavi.com' hinting that the next game will be set in the iconic ‘Vice City’.

The domain registrations were spotted over on Reddit by Ladbible, which you can check for yourself here. It shows the two domains were indeed registered by a ‘Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.’ which basically reaffirms that the publisher has something up its sleeve regarding the next GTA game. It could also be the standard practice of registering copyrights for the franchise by the company.

Vice City as a setting has been long rumoured for the next GTA games and some of these rumours are quite reliable. 

Earlier this month, an 80’s electro-synth music producer claimed in a deleted Tweet that Rockstar Games reached out to him and other artists to feature some of their productions in the GTA 6 soundtrack. According to a source, Rockstar Games have been looking for producers to feature their tracks on Vice-City inspired radio stations, most notably Synthwave artists. It could also be a possibility that Vice City may be part of multiple cities that players can visit in GTA VI.

Early rumours have also suggested that GTA VI may be inspired by the Netflix show Narcos and may see players travel between a location inspired by Mexican cities and Vice City (a fictional rendition of Miami City). While these rumours do reaffirm some of the rumours, it is still a rumour at the end of the day and should be taken with a grain of salt. 

However, if a return to Vice City is indeed in Rockstar’s books, it will be the first time we will see a modern rendition of the city since its original release eighteen years ago.
