As the days draw near to when we will finally get to see the first official trailer forGTA VI, fans have been discussing what they’d love to see in the next entry of the popular series from Rockstar Games.
For months on end, we’ve had to make do with a seamlessly endless stream of rumours. Hopefully, those rumours will be put to rest when theGrand Theft Auto VItraileris released early next month. That being said, rumours aside, it’s nice to see discussions on what fans would like to see implemented in the game such as the fantastic Nemesis system that was so brilliantly used inMiddle-earth: Shadow of MordorandShadow of War.

While this series perhaps lacked meaningful storytelling, its Nemesis System was a standout and clever gameplay mechanic that enhanced NPC AI to the extent that they would remember you in battle for better or worse. What’s more, whenever you defeated an enemy, another would rise through the ranks to take its place. However, if an enemy defeats you in battle, it too would gain promotion and would have no problem gloating about its accolade. The Nemesis system made the Middle-earth: Shadow series feel organic and unique to the individual player. Sadly, we’ve not seen the Nemesis system since the release ofMiddle-earth: Shadow of Warin 2017.
Despite Warner Bros. Games patenting the impressive Nemesis system, it hasn’t stopped fans from wishing for it to appear inRockstar Games’ upcoming highly anticipated game.
“It would be really cool to see a Nemesis system [inGTA VI],” said Redditor aut0matixkicking off the discussionon the thread. “It would be really cool to have gang leaders rise through the ranks as you kill their bosses and have a vendetta against you. And depending on how much you’ve f****d up their gang is how hard they come after you.”
“That would be cool. I’d love to see a return of gang turfs and wars, with hit contract missions targeted at their ranking members,” replied Immolated_Marmoset. Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, due to the WB Games patent, it’s unlikely that any game outside of the publisher will get to use this mechanic, even though the publisher hasn’t used it since 2017.

“Hopefully WB loses the patent or is liberal with licensing it out. Could benefit so many games. This sounds great for GTA,” said god_pharaoh. We can only hope because it really is a damn shame that the Nemesis system is seemingly going to waste.
At the time of writing, we do not have a release date forGrand Theft Auto VI, but it is expected to be released sometime during 2024 or 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
