The first official trailer for Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been released, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect from the next installment in the popular series.
Originally set to debut at a later date, the trailer was leaked less than a day before its planned release, prompting Rockstar to unveil it earlier than expected. The trailer has confirmed rumors that GTA VI will transport players to Vice City and the broader state of Leonida. The game is scheduled for release in 2025 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The trailer also revealed that GTA VI will feature two protagonists – a man and a woman. The female character appears to be an ex-convict, and the trailer hints at the inclusion of in-game social media platforms similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels. Additionally, the game will feature various Florida-inspired settings and activities, including the Leonida wetlands and Vice City, which is Rockstar’s take on Miami.
In a press release, Rockstar founder Sam Houser expressed excitement about the new game, stating: “Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences. We’re thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere.”
The press release also confirmed that GTA VI will be the biggest and most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet, promising a highly engaging and detailed open-world experience.
While the trailer provided a sneak peek into the game’s setting and characters, it did not disclose details about GTA Online or a potential PC version. The leak of the trailer on Twitter prompted Rockstar to respond, urging fans to watch the official release on YouTube.
The anticipated release of GTA VI has sparked excitement among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting details about the next installment in the iconic series. As development continues, players can expect further updates and announcements about Grand Theft Auto VI in the coming years.
