It's been 24-35 years since the last time it was seen (depending on which version players remember).
The last time most players saw Vice City was in 1986 in GTA Vice City. The last time players saw it canonly was in 1997 with GTA 1. Modern Vice City could be a treat for players (Image via Den of Geek)Īnother good reason to see Vice City as the primary location in GTA 6 is that modern Vice City is yet to be seen. There can easily be a new game mechanic involving it, which could help differentiate GTA 6 from previous games. Vice City has strong roots in drug trafficking, which has only been touched upon a little with Trevor Philips and the GTA Online protagonist. It's been nearly a decade and a half since fans last saw it (not to mention that they've never seen an official Vice City with recent graphical improvements). The only games to feature Vice City is GTA 1, GTA Vice City, and GTA Vice City Stories. Surprisingly, Vice City hasn't been seen since GTA Vice City Stories, released in 2006.

GTA 6 may not be arriving anytime soon, but the fascination with where it might take place is utterly fascinating for fans of the series.Īlthough the recent game took place in San Andreas, some fans would love to see the next one take a different approach regarding its locale (especially since GTA Online has been the main game for so many years). Should Vice City or Liberty City be the next location in GTA 6? GTA 6 is perhaps the most anticipated video game today (Image via Archyde)
With that out of the way, players reading this article can focus on the pros and cons of the two locations and arrive at their own conclusion for what would be better in GTA 6. This article is entirely conjecture, so it shouldn't be considered confirmation for anything involving GTA 6.
Of course, it is vital to note that neither location has been confirmed as the next destination within GTA 6. Vice City is bright, colorful, and mostly flat (in terms of terrain), whereas Liberty City is dark, gloomy, and a little more varied in map design. What makes them so interesting is how different they are. The first two locations are beloved cities within the GTA universe. Fans love to debate the next location for GTA 6: will it be located in Vice City, Liberty City, or elsewhere?
