Bad news gaming fans! It looks like the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been debunked by Rockstar Games.

The Fuse Joplin reported before that the sixth installment of Grand Theft Auto is set on June 2017. However, a Rockstar employee took to Reddit and confirmed that The GTA 6 release date on June 2017 is nothing more than a rumor as Rockstar is currently working on a different game.

According to reports from Motoring Crunch, Rockstar might be working on Red Dead Redemption 2 as a senior developer named Feinstein revealed that he is working on a sequel to a famous IP from Rockstar.

Meanwhile, there have been reports that GTA 6 will take place in Liberty City again instead of Vice City. It was reported before that GTA 6 will take place in Vice City and rumor has it that the game will not just have one location in mind, but four locations will be added. GTA developers cited Paris, London, Brazil, and Las Vegas (possibly named Las Venturas) as potential location inspirations.

President of Rockstar North Leslie Benzies stated that GTA 6 will surprise fans with their wild ideas.

"We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do," Benzies told Develop in an interview. "We don't know what 'GTA VI' will be, but we've got some ideas."

He added,

"GTA Online is the focus right now. There ain't no rest between finishing 'V' and then Online. Plus we have some other things -- stuff, DLC, I don't know how to describe it exactly -- that we'd like to do, and we'll pick the right ones."
