GTA 6 is set to release on November 19, 2026

Any news or rumors for GTA 6 put the fans and gamers into a frenzy. Former Star Wars: The Old Republic producer Richard Vogel now claims that the online feature may involve something like an MMORPG.

In an interview with Wccftech, the MMO veteran (EverQuest, SWG, New World) forecasts that GTA VI will fill the Western MMO hole, citing “millions” of players hooked on WoW, ESO, and Fallout 76.

Vogel’s Bold GTA 6 prediction

Before we move on, we would like to let you know that this is based on predictions from Industry experts. Rockstar Games has not confirmed anything yet!

Here’s what Vogel officially said in the interview:

If what I’ve been hearing about GTA 6’s features and gameplay is true, it could evolve into an MMORPG, as many of its planned features are typically found in MMORPGs.”

He believes that there is a larger Western audience waiting for a new MMORPG. There are already millions who are playing World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Elder Scrolls Online, Ultima Online, EverQuest, Fallout 76, and other games.

His instincts tell him the next big MMORPG might come from Asia/ or Europe.

Final Thoughts

This is not for the whole GTA 6 game. Richard Vogel probably meant for the GTA online, which is pretty similar to an MMORPG.

Players can customize properties, friend visits, open-world heists, and economies. This is just for GTA 5 online, from which Rockstar is currently making the most money.

Surely, the company has some bigger plans for GTA 6 online. We might truly see a proper MMORPG online type evolution, where you can do more things in the game.

All will be revealed in due time, as GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2026, if there are no other delays for the game.
