Summary
Grand Theft Auto 6is already steeped in mystery. From the overall plot to the personalities of its characters, there isn’t much known about what to expect from the next chapter in Rockstar’s popular franchise.GTA 6is set to be one of the biggest launches of next year, and the game will likely continue theGTAtradition of including fun Easter eggs.
One of the biggest mysteries inGTAconcernsGTA 5’s notorious Mount Chiliad. The mountain is filled with strange clues and mysteries that have birthed many conspiracy theories since the game’s 2013 launch. Despite all these theories about the mountain, there still has yet to be a straight answer as to what Mount Chiliad is all about. IfGTA 6includes its own mysteries, there will hopefully be more clear answers, and possibly a mystery like Chiliad’s that has an actual payoff.
What makes Mount Chiliad so fascinating is the fact that answers regarding the mountain remain unclear over a decade later. Near the peak of Mount Chiliad, a map with strange symbols can be seen drawn on a wall. Scrawled symbols depicting a UFO, a jetpack, and an alien egg decorate the map, raising many questions. The only symbol that has been solved is the UFO.
After getting 100% completion inGTA 5, players can seea UFO at the top of Mount Chiliad. Regarding the jetpack and the alien egg, both still fail to have concrete answers. AGTA Onlinemission once involved an alien egg, but many players just see this as a fun reference and not a definitive answer.
GTA 6 Should Carry On The Tradition of Fun Mysteries
It’s already clear thatGTA 6is set to break some traditionsin the series, but when it comes to Easter eggs and mysteries, this will likely continue in some fun ways that have yet to be revealed.
GTA 5’s embrace of cryptids, like Sasquatch and UFOs, could find their way intoGTA 6as well. WithGTA 6’s setting of Vice Citybeing the franchise’s take on Miami, there are plenty of cryptids rumored to be in Florida that Rockstar could take inspiration from, such as:
A Definitive and Fulfilling GTA Mystery
IfGTA 6includesconspiracy theory-laced Easter eggs and side missions, it would be interesting to see a storyline built around it that’s more clear-cut. Having definitive answers at the end of the day would give many players closure instead of debating year after year.
On the other hand, Rockstar may enjoy sewing these seeds of discourse by leaving the mystery of Mount Chiliad unsolved and up to interpretation. Mount Chiliad has kept many players talking and debating since 2013, and there’s something fun about that. Whatever mysteries make their way intoGTA 6, it will be exciting to see what answers players are able to dig up.
