Even though the post did not mention ‘GTA‘ specifically, this seemed to substantiate media reports that the sixth installment would be set in the a fictionalized version of Miami.
Rockstar Games is known for keeping a tight veil of secrecy around its releases, never giving a date in advance contrary to general industry protocol.
Last year the studio was the victim of a hack, with over 90 images and videos appearing on social media, in what is considered to be one of the biggest leaks in video game history.

One of the most famous franchises in the world of video games, GTA has never been free of controversy, due to its sulfurous mix of violence, sex and gangster life.
Previous episodes have seen players take on roles in the Italian mafia, follow in the footsteps of ‘Scarface‘ kingpin Tony Montana, or slip into the shoes of a former gang member in Los Angeles.
The series has been heavily criticized for its particularly misogynistic depictions of women, caricatures of minorities and its use of torture.
