Despite numerous leaks of the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto game, one of the most significant revelations comes from 50 Cent, a rapper and TV producer, who posted on Instagram that he is involved in a Vice City-related project. However, it is currently unclear whether this project is a game or a TV show.
50 Cent is a beloved rapper both in the United States and internationally, and he has participated in various projects, including the crime drama TV series, Power, which he starred in and executive produced. The show’s success led to the creation of several spin-off series, such as Power Book II: Ghost, which premiered in September 2020 and continues the story of Tariq St. Patrick, Ghost’s son.
Although 50 Cent’s involvement in the new GTA project remains shrouded in mystery, there is no reason to doubt his claim. Numerous leaks and rumors suggest that the new game will include many enhancements and new features.
Some speculate that the project might not be a game but instead a Grand Theft Auto TV show focused on Vice City. However, this is unlikely because Rockstar has previously declined proposals to adapt any Grand Theft Auto content. For example, the studio rejected a pitch for a GTA movie featuring Eminem.
However, times have changed, and the world has seen instances where beloved video games have been adapted into TV shows or series. The Last of Us is a prime example of a popular action-adventure game turned into a successful TV series. With various video streaming services seeking to acquire titles from different studios, it is possible that a Grand Theft Auto TV show could be in the works.
