Rockstar May Have Accidentally Revealed the Setting of GTA 6

Rumours about GTA 6 abound even at the best of times, but it seems that Rockstar itself is the source of the latest speculation, after pictures of the studio’s holiday gifts to staff emerged online. While there’s no way to know for sure, some are speculating that one of those gifts in particular may have revealed a possible GTA 6 setting. (Particularly as it may corroborate earlier rumours of a similar location.)

The GTA 6 Setting: Latest Rumours and the Holiday Leak

For quite some time now, fans of GTA have speculated wildly about the possible settings of the next game, even though Rockstar have yet to even announce that GTA 6 is in development. Indeed, this isn’t the first rumour to emerge from Rockstar which fans have thought could be pointing towards the GTA 6 setting; earlier this month, fans speculated that a brief part of the Diamond Casino Heist teaser trailer might be subtly teasing it. In this case, however, the source is a physical item rather than a video clip or something in-game.

GTA 6 Setting Rumour Colombia

Recently, like many companies, Rockstar recently gave out gifts to their staff. Among these items, pictures of which were posted online, were two badges featuring the flags of two countries; Jamaica and Colombia. In the former case, Rockstar has given out items with Jamaican flag motifs before. However, they haven’t ever made items featuring the Colombian flag. Interestingly, many of the more convincing rumours about the GTA 6 setting have focused on two things – 1; that GTA 6 could feature more than one single setting, and 2; that one of those settings will be in South America.

Colombia is certainly a strong contender given the alignment between the themes of GTA and the country’s associations with organised crime. Indeed, it’s even possible that this staff gift badge features an early prototype of branding planned for future Rockstar merch. For now, however, fans can’t do much more than speculate. After all, Rockstar is extremely unlikely to say anything official about GTA 6 anytime soon. They are certainly unlikely to comment on this particular incident. Of course, it’s also worth noting that the badge could be purely coincidental; it might have absolutely nothing to with the GTA 6 setting. It could be in reference to a different project, for example, or something else entirely different.
