GTA 6 OFFICIAL TRAILER

The GTA 6 trailer was revealed by Rockstar on December 4, 2023, after it leaked online. The trailer was initially scheduled for release the following day, but timelines were shifted. You can check it out above, in all its sun-drenched glory. It’s 91 seconds long and introduces us to Lucia, one of GTA 6’s main protagonists. You’ll also get some gorgeous shots of Vice City beaches, bars, and even an alligator.

We now know that GTA 6 will be set in the state of Leonida, which encompasses Vice City and beyond. In a newswire post, published just after the trailer, Rockstar describes the area as ‘the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet’. We see a fair few shots of Vice City in the debut trailer, but it’s still unclear whether other areas will be included at launch.

A Bloomberg report published in 2022 claims that, at the beginning of development, GTA 6 encompassed huge areas modeled after both North and South America. That scope was cut back, however, to focus on Vice City and its surrounding area, though “the game’s world remains large, with more interior locations than previous Grand Theft Auto games”.

But the map won’t remain static, according to the report. Rockstar plans to update GTA 6 with more cities and interior locations after release, with these updates set to be substantially larger than those GTA 5 has received. The idea is to give developers more breathing room to create the game’s expansive map and cut down on stressful overtime during development. It also means you’ll have new areas to explore after the game hits shelves. According to Bloomberg, Rockstar plans to add new missions and cities to the game “regularly”, giving us new areas to explore while hopefully cutting crunch at the studio.

GTA 6 STORY AND PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Rockstar Games revealed the first trailer for GTA 6 on December 4, 2023. In it, we’re introduced to Lucia, one of the main protagonists of GTA 6. According to the leaked gameplay that popped up online early in 2023, GTA 6 could feature two playable protagonists. This is backed up by what’s shown in the trailer, with Lucia and her partner, currently unnamed, shown pulling off robberies together.

In terms of the story, GTA 6 looks set to follow the couple as they attempt to pull off a big score. Aside from that, we know that it’ll take place in and around Vice City and that Lucia has been incarcerated at one point or another. We’ll need to wait to hear more on whether GTA 6 will indeed allow players to control Lucia and her partner, but for now, we know a lot more about Lucia than the unnamed man shown in the trailer. Given that they both feature on the game’s main title card, it’s a good bet that there are indeed two playable characters.

The first trailer is now out

At long last, Rockstar Games has revealed the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, 22 months after the developer officially announced the game’s development – and notably a day earlier than it was supposed to be unveiled.

GTA 6 suffers huge gameplay leak

Last September, Grand Theft Auto 6 saw what was easily one of the biggest leaks in gaming history. Roughly 90 videos were posted onto the official GTA Forums by a poster named teapotuberhacker, containing gameplay footage that’s early in development. Since going live, Rockstar and Take-Two have since removed these through copyright strikes. Updating their original post (now deleted), teapottuberhacker claimed he was looking to make a deal with Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive, issuing this statement:

“Ok, so this has gone unexpectedly viral, woke up to 3000 Telegram DM’s. If you are an employee of Rockstar or Take 2 and you’re trying to contact me, send me a message containing 22559219889638875756 on Telegram or you can email me at [email address redacted] ** from your corporate email address ** I will try to read all these replies soon – I am looking to negotiate a deal.”

So there you have it, that’s everything we know about GTA 6 so far. Stay tuned for more information as it gets updated.
