GTA Online's final free DLC hides 'hints' for what's to come in GTA 6

As we all look towards the end of the year with wild anticipation, Rockstar has held its cards extremely close to its chest as to what we can expect to see in Grand Theft Auto VI.

The famed developers come with an elite reputation and with the next instalment of the Grand Theft Auto series promising to be the biggest game of all time, the expectations are unprecedented.

Yet when it comes to advertising, so far, there's been very little activity since the second trailer dropped in May.

Relying on its reputation, the developers continue to make fans wait for the third trailer, and have even opened pre-orders before seeing gameplay.

In fact, the only update we've seen recently comes with GTA Online.

Although, the new DLC The Kortz Center Heist, that will serve as the final GTA Online update, might have just given us our first sign of GTA 6 marketing through an Easter egg hunt.

GTA 6 'hints' found in The Kortz Center Heist DLC artwork

With the fate of GTA Online in doubt as the sixth mainline gaime prepares to be launched - it's expected that the current Online iteration will either be sunsetted or phased into Vice City - the final DLC is here.

Dubbed The Kortz Center Heist, the DLC revolves around the most expensive artwork that Los Santos offers, as you meticulously scout out high-value targets to swoop in on.

"Scope out the Kortz Center in Pacific Bluffs to stroll among the works in the gallery’s latest collection, snap candid photos of the paintings on the walls without alerting security, and ascertain how to get in and out of the cultural foundation unscathed — with substantial variability to help keep your options open," the mission brief reads.

But the artwork isn't just any old painting.

In fact, fans have already deiphered some secret Easter eggs hidden inside the four canvases released so far.

With new paintings released each week, the initial four have been carfully analysed to be paying homage to GTA VI characters, Online bugs, and other lore-rich occurances in the franchise history.

Some fans have even claimed that they've spotted 'VI' hints painted into the tree lines.

"This means trailer 3 is around the corner!!!!" says the Redditor.

While most understood the sattire, others pointed out that this would have once been a huge teaser.

"I mean there was genuinely a point in this subreddit where just a “VI” would genuinely be news, a reminder to be grateful for where we are now and what the future still holds," a second Reddit user said.

But, its fair to say that is a bit of reach.

What is more interesting, though, is that, on the account that Rockstar confirmed that they will be starting the marketing 'in summer' and this timely DLC already dropping culture references will mean a fresh wave of Easter eggs will be coming each week.

The likelyhood of some of these pointing to GTA 6 is extremely likely, and we'll all be on the hunt to uncover what secrets Rockstar Games will be dropping.
