Rockstar Games has announced a GTA VI Trailer!

It has been 10 years since we saw the release of GTA V and after much speculation, we finally have a confirmed announcement from Rockstar Games that GTA VI is coming and there will be a trailer very soon. This has been a long time coming, the last update we had regarding a new GTA game was in February 2022 when Rockstar confirmed they were working on the latest instalment of GTA. 

Rockstar is coming up to their 25th Anniversary so it would make sense for such a huge anniversary to announce a new game that fans of GTA have been waiting so long for. 

It would seem that December is a date so far that we have been given by Rockstar but no confirmation as to whether it will be the beginning, halfway through or towards the end. Quoted by Rockstar is the following:

We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

As previously reported by Rockstar Games, the newest GTA instalment will take place in Miami which is fictionalised. We will also be seeing the first female playable character in the game.

In 2022, early gameplay footage for the newest instalment in the series was leaked online after a hacker had managed to gain access to the Slack channel that Rockstar has. Due to this, the hacker threatened the developer Rockstar Games and was able to release 90 minutes of footage which showed two new locations coming to the game and also two protagonists. 

The hack was confirmed by Rockstar Games who made a post on social media saying the following as quoted below:

Quote

We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorised third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto. At this time, we do not anticipate any disruption to our live game services nor any long-term effect on the development of our ongoing projects. We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way.

Rockstar Games handled the leak well and as much as a lot of footage was leaked, it was not enough to cause any serious issues for Rockstar Games or to even push them to announce the new game in the series before they were ready to. 

Very exciting times for those who are long-standing players of the GTA games and have been eagerly awaiting the next release. 10 years is a long time to wait to hear about a new game within a franchise and with many being somewhat burned out on GTA V, the news of GTA VI coming and an announcement being imminent with a trailer as well is every GTA fan's dream come true. 

Now we wait until the highly anticipated trailer is released!
