Rockstar revealed the first trailer for GTA VI on Tuesday, December 5, as it confirmed with a tweet this week. That means you can now catch the biggest game reveal of 2023 on YouTube, which has already garnered over 50 million views in just 9 hours.
The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. Its latest installment, GTA 5, became the second best-selling entertainment product of all time, and it’s still a regular fixture on Steam‘s weekly top-sellers list. Almost a decade after GTA 5 launched and managed to persist through three console generations of games and countless iterations, the franchise’s next major mainline entry is about to debut. So, it’s understandable that fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel’s arrival.
The trailer for the highly anticipated game, GTA VI, has finally been released after years of speculation. The trailer confirms that the game will be set in Vice City, a fictionalized version of Miami, and will feature the series’s first female protagonist named Lucia. The story will be inspired by Bonnie and Clyde and will follow Lucia and her boyfriend as they commit crimes after being released from prison.
The trailer showcases the classic elements of the GTA series, including fast cars, gunplay, and lots of money, all set against the backdrop of Vice City’s neon-soaked streets. The game is set to be released in 2025 and will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Rockstar, the game’s developer, promises that GTA VI will be the biggest and most immersive game in the series yet, taking players on a journey through the state of Leonida, which includes Vice City and beyond. Fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting this release for over a decade, and the trailer has only added to the excitement.
GTA 6 Rockstar Games Trailer Reveals On December 05
Rockstar has been fairly tight-lipped about the new GTA 6, though some details did surface thanks to a GTA 6 leak last year. The studio also confirmed development on GTA 6 began in early 2014. The company’s decision to unveil the first GTA 6 trailer on December 5 gives fans a chance to get their first look at what the developers are working on. It could finally answer some long-running questions about the game, too.
One big question is whether the rumored return to a Vice City setting is accurate, and that might be answered by the announcement’s artwork. The palm trees and sunrise in the image suggest we might be heading back to that Miami-like world, which would tie in with the earlier leaks. The image is also heavy on seagulls, which might point to some avian foes.
The other big question is what the next Grand Theft Auto will actually be like. With rumors of dual protagonists and an emphasis on story and character, the new title is poised to shake up the series in a big way. It’s possible the trailer will reveal a bit more about the story this time around, although that will probably remain unconfirmed until the game’s official release date in late 2024.
Despite the fact that there’s been no official word from Rockstar Games about the new game, the excitement is palpable. It’s been a long wait, and it seems the hype is about to reach its apex.
