Grand Theft Auto 6: will the new chapter have a female protagonist?

According to the latest rumors, Grand Theft Auto 6 should have a female lead, the first for the series. Rockstar Games has yet to announce or confirm that a new game in the series is in development, but according to some sources it seems to be already in development for next-generation consoles and PC. Unfortunately, in the current state of things, no further information has emerged on the release of the game, but recent rumors would suggest some news related to the protagonist of the game. That information was leaked by Tom Henderson, an industry leaker and insider widely known for his scoop on the franchise. Call of Duty.

Su Twitter, Henderson recently revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will have a female protagonist next to a male protagonist. Unfortunately, however, the information ends there. It is not clear if the game has two playable protagonists in a similar way to what happened in the previous chapter of the series or if we will be able to choose the gender of the main character. It is important to note that Henderson does not disclose his source. That said, it has proven reliable on numerous occasions in the past, although this was typically information related to the Call of Duty saga. In general, however, since information is neither official nor confirmed by the directly interested parties, we invite you to take what you have read so far with a grain of salt.
