A historic moment beckons as Rockstar Games has just confirmed the release date for the first trailer of the GTA series' next installment.
On Tuesday, December 5 at 9:00 AM ET, fans around the globe will get their first glimpse of what's poised to be one of the largest video games ever made.
For over a decade, the Grand Theft Auto series has dominated the gaming landscape, with its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, holding the title of the second-best-selling video game globally, with over 190 million units sold — and counting.
The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 is sky-high, and Rockstar's announcement has set the stage for what could be another record-breaking success in the gaming industry.
GTA 6 is expected to be the most expensive video game ever developed. Despite the substantial investment, industry experts predict that it could easily gross over $1 billion dollars within its first few days of release, likely surpassing the commercial success of GTA 5 at the same time.
The December 5 trailer release is a crucial moment for Rockstar Games.
It follows a series of leaks and speculation that have surrounded the game for years. In February 2022, Rockstar confirmed the game's development. A subsequent data leak then revealed several details, including its potential setting in Vice City, a fictional representation of Miami City.
The official teaser image released by Rockstar further supports this speculation, showcasing palm trees against a sunset backdrop, reminiscent of Vice City's tropical ambiance.
Rumors suggest that GTA VI could feature dual protagonists, including a playable Latina woman, marking a significant shift in the series' traditional narrative approach. This innovative move could set a new benchmark in storytelling within the gaming industry, which is in line with the previous expectations set by Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two Interactive's CEO.
