Grand Theft Auto 6 is still a long way off, but according to the latest rumours, the game’s protagonists resemble a criminal couple, providing the perfect basis for co-op gameplay.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is perhaps one of the most anticipated games of all time. As fans approach Grand Theft Auto 5’s ten-year anniversary, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that a new installment in the long-running crime franchise is needed. GTA 5 spawned tons of theories about GTA 6, and while it’s still played by millions, it’s time for a brand new game with all the modern bells and whistles we’ve come to expect from recent Rockstar titles. One of them could be a full-fledged campaign co-op mode. Last September, Grand Theft Auto 6 suffered a huge leak. Usually, Rockstar likes to keep their games under wraps until they’re ready to launch, but this time they weren’t so lucky. A GTA 6 leaker has obtained an early playable version of the game, as well as some key information he found in the architecture of the version. The biggest leak was about new playable characters for Grand Theft Auto 6, which could pave the way for co-op gameplay.

According to the infamous leak, Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature two main playable protagonists named Lucia and Jason. This is the first time in the franchise’s history that players can control a female protagonist. The protagonists of GTA 6 are believed to be inspired by the real-life criminal couple Bonny and Clyde, who robbed banks in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The story of Bonny and Clyde has been romanticized many times over the years, with plays, musicals, movies and TV shows portraying them as feuding, lusty criminals who enjoyed the thrill of their heists. Bonny and Clyde could be the perfect inspirations for Grand Theft Auto 6’s story, and if the rumors are true, it could be the most interesting relationship in the long history of the franchise. Lucia and Jason are likely to have a very close relationship in the game, and this naturally leads to some intense moments, such as when one of the main characters gets caught and leaves the other alone.

The best way to add more intensity to these scenes and the central connection to GTA 6 is to translate those feelings directly into gameplay, and a great way to do that is through co-op. Fans have been asking for a campaign co-op mode in a GTA game for a long time, and GTA 6 offers the perfect opportunity to do so. While the leak mentions that players will be able to switch between Lucia and Jason in GTA 6 using a system similar to GTA 5’s character selection mechanic, it might be more interesting if players could experience the story with another player in co-op mode. In Grand Theft Auto 6, you could be not only spectators, but also participants in the relationship and adventures of Lucia and Jason.

The release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 is not yet known, but the game will probably come to next-gen consoles and PC.
