The Grand Theft Auto rumor mill is working overtime after a since-deleted tweet, apparently from a voice actor, claimed to have cast a role for GTA 6 and also hinted at an announcement soon.
Rockstar Games hasn’t said anything about anything they may be working on for their next big release. The developers have barely mentioned anything about the next edition of GTA, leaving fans turning to every other source for possible clues.
A voice actor referenced the February 4th news about the development of the next GTA game and, going by the language of the tweet, fans believe that they were somehow part of the project.
Guy A. Fortt said in a since deleted post: “Stay tuned [for] something really special!… Stay tuned for the new GTA game.”
As a follow up to the original post, Cali Moore appears to be the casting director, not the character’s name as mentioned (thanks @OhVees2). GTA6 has appeared on the actor’s resume since at least January 2021, but we can’t confirm if it’s actually GTA6 or just another GTAO update. pic.twitter.com/PF4gOBqrbx

This reignited the GTA community as the tweet came on the heels of Rockstar officially acknowledging that they were in “active” development on the next game in the series.
But there is a lot of confusion surrounding the removed message that some believe points to an impending announcement. Since the talent in question mentions casting, it is presumed that he meant that he was a voice actor.
Others believed that he could simply be part of the general production working on a GTA 6 trailer, but that remains to be seen. In any case, once the tweet started getting traction, it was promptly deleted.
