One of the most highly anticipated games of a long time, Grand Theft Auto VI, was finally revealed to the public, and its trailer has already broken the century-long record of the GTA 5 trailer. However, more news means even more rumors and many deep analyses of the official teaser trailer.
One of these rumors comes from a scene in the trailer that might be hinting at the game having children for the first time. The Grand Theft Auto series has not usually included children in its gameplay, so if this rumor turns out to be true, GTA 6 would be a first in the series.
In the official trailer, at the 55-second mark, we can see some children in the background playing in the dirt. Although this does not confirm the inclusion of children in the game, it certainly gives life to a lot of rumors since they can be spotted in the official trailer. The inclusion of children was even rumored for the game even before Rockstar Games revealed the official trailer, as people were expecting Lucia to have a kid.
The inclusion of children might add a ton of realism to the environment of GTA 6, but it can also cause a lot of problems for Rockstar Games, given the violent nature of their games. The studio has also said in the past that they will not add child NPCs in their games. Moreover, their recent major title, Red Dead Redemption 2, does have a few children, but they can not be harmed in the game in any way. This leads us to believe that they might be added as a part of cutscenes or some other gameplay.
GTA 6's Lucia Will Reportedly Have a Child
It was previously reported by Rockstar Universe that the female protagonist of GTA 6, Lucia, will have a child in the game. However, this child will reportedly not appear in any actual gameplay and will only be limited to appearing in cutscenes. This seems an appropriate decision due to the franchise's violent and mature theme.
Fan reactions to this leak are mixed, with some liking and appraising Rockstar Games for adding more realism to the game, while others criticizing the decision to add children. Either way, we hope Rockstar Games make the best out of this situation so they don't have to face any trouble or backlash in the future.
