There are nearly countless great moments inRed Dead Redemption 2, but one of the most memorable and puzzling moments from the game came withthe introduction of Guarma, a tropical island located in the Caribbean. Most of the missions in Chapter 5 take place on this island, but once this chapter of the game is complete, Guarma is never revisited. Players can’t even return to the location if they want to. It’s a brief and random moment, but it’s also an incredibly beautiful and exciting area to explore because of its tropical plant life and island environment.

Theories About Guarma

The main theory about Guarma is that it was a secret development test forGTA 6. WithGTA 6being set in Vice City, the franchise’s fictional take on Miami, long-running speculations have suggested that Guarma was just a way for Rockstar developers to experiment with ideas forGTA 6and its setting. It’s been a while since theGTAfranchise went back to Vice City, so it only makes sense that developers would want to practice crafting a believable tropical location.

Guarma’s environment is unlike anything else inRed Dead Redemption 2, and the jarring change of scenery was so bizarre and unexpected that some players couldn’t help but build these theories around the chapter.

GTA 6 Is Guarma’s Full Circle Moment

Although it’s not ever been confirmed ifGuarma’s inclusion inRed Dead Redemption 2was actually a secret playground for Rockstar developers, the release ofGTA 6will finally bring the theories full circle. The Guarma rumors have been going on for so long that it will almost feel like the end of an era whenGTA 6arrives, but it will also finally give some clarity to just how close the environment of Guarma and Vice City end up being to one another.

Rumors aroundGTA 6have played a major role in its development, and it will be exciting to finally get answers about which rumors are legit and which were just mere speculation. Although there is still hope forGTA 6to be released in 2025, the rumor of potential delays makes that time frame questionable. However, when Rockstar finally releases the game, it will be fascinating to see if the rumors connecting Guarma andGTA6 are true.
