One of the two main characters in the upcoming game will be a Latina, according to reports. This will be the first entry with a female lead. The internal push to improve workplace practices and culture coincides with the decision.
People familiar with the game's development were cited in the report. The outlet spoke with over 20 current and former employees of the company who said that the recent changes to the company were positive and led to an improvement in the company's culture.
The report states that the protagonists of the game will be influenced by Bonnie and Gladys. It is possible that you will be able to swap between them on the fly, just as you did in Grand Theft Auto V.
By all accounts, the creators of Grand Theft Auto are trying to be different than before. The company used to be known for poking fun at everyone, but is now more aware of what kind of content it will include. George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in the summer of 2020.
There has been an improvement in the gender pay gap with more of a focus on equality. The development time for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been extended because employees have a healthier work schedule and less crunch.
The company has yet to give a firm release date for the game, but some employees don't think it will be out until at least 2024.
