For months, rumors have been swirling about the next project from Rockstar Games. Supposed “leaks” have claimed to reveal all sorts of information about Rockstar’s next game, with some claiming it’sBully 2, others saying it’sGrand Theft Auto 6, and others still saying it’s abrand new medieval IP. When it comes to theGTA 6leaks and rumors, there have been some common claims between them, with multiple “leaks” saying that the game will take place over the course of decades, and a new Rockstar Games job listing may lend more credibility to those claims.
Rockstar Games is hiring for a Character Costume and Wardrobe Stylist, and the studio is “looking for someone with a deep appreciation of the history and cultural importance which clothing plays in society; from past eras to modern, global street styles, and trends.” IfGrand Theft Auto 6is set in multiple decades and cities as rumored, it would make sense for the game to feature a wide variety of clothing from different eras.

But while some have taken this as a confirmation that some of theGrand Theft Auto 6leaksare accurate, it should be pointed out that Rockstar’s games tend to take place in different time periods.Grand Theft Auto 5is set in the modern day,Vice Cityis set in the 80s, andRed Dead Redemption 2is set in 1899. Considering this, it’s possible that Rockstar is hiring a Character Costume and Wardrobe stylist to work on its games in a general sense, as opposed to applying their knowledge of clothing throughout history on a single, specific product.
However, if the rumors are true aboutGrand Theft Auto 6being set in multiple decades, then it could mean some of the other rumors about the game are true as well. The same leak that claimedGrand Theft Auto 6would be set in multiple time periods also said that the game would start in the 1970s, with players taking on the role of a half-white/half-Hispanic drug dealer living in Liberty City. During this portion of the games, players would be smuggling cocaine between Liberty City and Vice City, though their actions would eventually see them wind up in prison.
By the timeGrand Theft Auto 6players exit the prison, it will be the 1980s, with an Epilogue set in the present day. TheGrand Theft Auto 6online modewill reportedly be set in the 80s.
We must stress that none of this has been confirmed by Rockstar Games, and it’s possible that fans are just connecting dots that aren’t really there. Until Rockstar reveals its next project itself, fans should take any news with a grain of salt.
Grand Theft Auto 6is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
