Only earlier today, a voice actor's resume hinted at a new Rockstar VR game, which some speculate might be a GTA 5 port. Just over an hour later and Reggie Talley of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Powerbook 3: Raising Kanan fame has included a Rockstar game on their resume under the codename "FIREBALL", which many are assuming to be GTA 6.

This was brought to light by KekanKok on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit. Last September it leaked that GTA 6 will be taking us back to Vice City, corroborating earlier footage and several rumours, and the alias may tie into that. As suggested by commenter jcfan4u, the name could come from the Miami Heat basketball team. Its logo is a flaming ball going through a hoop, a 'Fireball'.

It's not the first time that the codename has surfaced. Actor Natonia Monet added the character Tamara to her resume from a game under the working title of 'Fireball', also in development by Rockstar Games. She removed the mention only a day later, but now that it has surfaced again, it's all but confirmed. Actor and musician Dave Jackson also shared on Facebook that he had been cast as police chief Captain McClane in August of 2021, so we know of at least three possible actors appearing in the game.

Rockstar Games "Fireball" (most likely GTA 6) found in actor's resume, again...

Another actor, Bryan Zampella, is believed to be one of the two protagonists in the game. He bears a striking resemblance to Jason, who appeared in the leaked footage last year. So, of course, he took to social media earlier this month to troll fans, wearing a shirt very clearly inspired by Vice City's Tomy Vercetti. Many took this to be a nod at GTA 6's setting, if he is in fact playing Jason. But it's not just his looks that lend themselves to the theories, as Zampella shared photos of himself hanging out with Rockstar Games employees before the leaked footage ever came to light.

But it's not just Vice City that's leaked for GTA 6, as at the start of the month, an insider claimed that the game will feature "part of Cuba" as well. This same insider, Tyler McVicker, says that the ending of GTA 6 is also known--apparently, it's heavily inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, meaning there are two playable characters. He claims it's set in Miami, Florida, and then parts of Cuba, with the two embroiled in the drug trade and bank robbing. He also says that it's coming next year, but whether that's true remains to be seen.
