The leak that claimGTA 6will cover multiple locations mainly suggest Vice City andGTA 4 ’s New York - revolutionise Liberty City , but there ’s another place nearby thatGTA 6could take the franchise . Despite being introduced inManhunt , Carcer City has been reference inseveralGTAgamesand is said to be airless to Liberty City . InGTA 5 , ( via the FandomGTA Wiki ) protagonist Michael mentions his first - ever mark was slip money in the outskirts of Carcer City , and ad for a"Carcer Storage"company appear in the Grand Senora Desert region . These references fail to mention the city ’s crimson reputation , butGTA 4 ’s do not , as footer allude to its lawlessness with voice lines like,“You drive like you ’re from Carcer City . "
InManhunt , Carcer City is indeed essentially lawless . A Gotham - esque imitation of American Rust Belt city , it is run over with many violent gangs , several patently fund by a man recognize as The Director . This Director , who has also pay off the police to snub his machinations , forces protagonist James Earl Cash to brutally murder said crowd on photographic camera in central for his freedom . AtManhunt ’s end , however , Cash kill The Director , and the police ’s complicity with him is exposed . This means that , while Carcer’sManhunthyper - violencewouldn’t have suited aGTAgame , there ’s elbow room for affair in the metropolis to have calmed down to a more stock scene by the time ofGTA 6 .
Still , Manhunt- and Carcer City , by extension - had a more serious tone than mostGTAgames . Although it put the player in control of a murderer subject of extremely wild stealth takedowns , many seeManhuntas a secret plan that did n’t glorify fierceness as much as it call for how comfortable players were with the kind of fierce acts they see in other pop medium . It ’s a horror game where the player controls the monstrosity , which is a far cry from the usual , tongue - in - cheek satire ofGTA . But that ’s what make aGTA 6set in Carcer City such an interesting expectation . IfGrand Theft Auto 6’slocationwas darker than past games , it could provide an interesting tone shift for the series - one deserving the seven - addition - year wait sinceGTA 5 .
