Things are changing . . . and even gamer culture isn’t immune to it. Rockstar Games recently made an effort to clean up its frat-boy image, both in the office and in its titles.
Case in point: The “Grand Theft Auto 6” story mode will feature the first-ever playable female character in the franchise. She’ll be Latina, and she’ll be in a storyline that’s influenced by Bonnie and Clyde.
Technically, women HAVE appeared in previous games, but they didn’t talk and barely had any personality. So this will still be the first time that GTA has had a legit leading lady.
The developers are also making an effort not to make jokes about marginalized groups.
There’s no word yet when the game will be released.
