While it is unclear how connected to the world of Rockstar Games Tom is, he has a reliable history when it comes to promoting rumors that end up true. This is especially true when it comes to shooters such as the Battlefield and Call of Duty franchises.

Taking to Twitter, Henderson wrote: “For the first time ever in a GTA title, GTA 6 will have a playable female and male protagonist. #GTA6 #GTAVI.”

Fans shared their reactions online.

So let's just forget the four female protagonists from GTA 1, huh.

This is something I've always wanted to see ever since before the release of GTA San Andreas, Women have been involved in organized crime for decades and some of them are even more dangerous and more ruthless than the men. pic.twitter.com/k4wcec8s0B

As different characters?, Or just "choose your sex" type of deal with a character creator?, That would suck, because it usually comes at the expense of character development.
