GTA 6 to feature female protagonist for the first time with two lead characters Rockstar GamesIn a Bloomberg report about Rockstar\u2019s studio culture, details of GTA 6\u2019s protagonist have emerged. GTA 6 may be years away, but a new report about the change in Rockstar Games\u2019 workplace culture has revealed new information about the upcoming crime epic. Bloomberg\u2019s Jason Schreier reports that the studio removed transphobic jokes from Grand Theft Auto V\u2019s next-gen release, while also narrowing the gender pay gap for employees. Schreier also reports that GTA 6 will star a pair of protagonists, influenced by Bonnie and Clyde. Of the two, one will be a female character, marking the first time the studio has made a woman playable in the game\u2019s single-player component (players have been able to customize their own character in GTA Online). GTA 6 developer Rockstar works to overhaul studio culture According to Schreier\u2019s report, the female protagonist will be a Latina character, and developers are \u201cbeing cautious not to \u201cpunch down\u201d by making jokes about marginalized groups\u201d. The title, reportedly codenamed Project Americas, had originally intended to portray large areas of both North and South America before plans were altered to move to focus on a fictional version of Miami. The Bloomberg report also suggests that the developers are intending for GTA 6 to grow over time, releasing new missions and even additional cities on a regular basis. The hope amongst the studio is that this will lower the need for crunch. Schreier also notes that one employee had lauded the progress made by the company, saying that it felt like a \u201cboys\u2019 club transformed into a real company\u201d, while morale is higher across the studio. The report also says that Cops \u2018n\u2019 Crooks, a mode for GTA Online, was canceled in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Summer 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
