An old one, exactly Grand Theft Auto 6 the leak may have just revealed a never-before-seen second location in Rockstar Games' most popular franchise. The Grand Theft Auto series has been running for several decades now, with the first installment of the series seen all the way back in 1997. Over the years, fans have been able to see various locations that either take inspiration from or are direct adaptations of American cities, with the immersive stories often heavily influenced by those environments. With Grand Theft Auto 6 on the way, and confirmed to return players to a more modern version of Vice City, the thought of many fans is whether this will be the only place where the huge open-world title will take place.
Although some GTA 6 fans believe that official news is coming soon, many fans have taken it upon themselves to search the online archives for any previous leaks regarding this mammoth release and see if they have any truth to them. Many old leaks seem to have lost all credibility as the years go by, with the information they contain either never being true or simply coming from a time in development that has been moved past and discarded. In contrast to these, there is a leak that appears to have aged gracefully and may hint at what fans are in for at the eventual release of GTA 6.

The GTA 6 leak may have just revealed Cuba as a new location
This Twitter post describes an old leak from 2016 by an anonymous developer that accurately revealed many things, most interesting of all being that GTA 6 may also take place in Cuba. The leak stated that the male protagonist would be smuggling drugs, the female protagonist is your contact in the US, but most interestingly, the game would be set in Florida and Cuba. When you combine the claims that the leak has been accurate so far, the leaker is responsible for correctly confirming a Red Dead Redemption 2 plot leak two years before that game was released, and the fact that Rockstar confirmed it GTA 6 the setting is much bigger than just Vice City, maybe there is some truth to that GTA 6 to have Cuba as a place after all.
Having an extra seat wouldn't be a shock either Grand Theft Auto series, with most games in the franchise having more than one playable location. Even the debut title allowed players to explore Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City, albeit in a top-down 2D style, with GTA: San Andreas matching the three locations with their own: Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas. Rockstar has built a reputation for creating large-scale worlds for players to fully immerse themselves in the criminal world within, and a large part of this is due to the many locations that can be explored. Consider the fact that Rockstar may be ready to release the next one GTA 6 trailer soon, and it may be known sooner rather than later if Cuba is a playable location in GTA 6.
Fans have kept their hopes high GTA 6and having Cuba as a playable location would really be big news for all fans of it Grand Theft Auto series. While returning locations are great for throwbacks and fan service, new locations are what give each title a unique identity. With each character revealed to GTA 6 has thus far maintained the complex and compelling series standard, it seems, regardless of setting or not, GTA 6 will hopefully capture the same magic that brought so many to the series in the first place.
