Rockstar’s GTA 6 Trailer Looms Near, What To Expect In This Month’s Big Reveal
So, what should we expect from the first trailer for GTA VI? Well, darn us for being cynics, but don't get your hopes up. Rockstar typically plays its cards close to its chest, even close to the release of a new GTA title, and we're probably not close. In fact, we don't expect to see the game in 2024, and maybe not even in 2025. That doesn't mean that there's no reason to get excited, though.
In those ten years, fans have been picking apart every single detail of every communication from the company for any possible hint or connection to Rockstar's other properties or upcoming games. At this point, fans are rabid for GTA VI, and Rockstar knows that. You can bet that the trailer will be one of the most carefully-edited videos that has ever been released, and we're sure there will be plenty of details to garner from it.
Still, there are some things we expect to see. We imagine that the game likely still centers around at least two protagonists: a Bonnie and Clyde-like pair possibly named Lucia and Jason, respectively. We also are fairly certain at this point that the game will indeed be set in and around the series' analog for Miami, Florida known as Vice City. Even if leaks hadn't revealed that, we could guess as much from the teaser image in the tweet.
A big question remains around the game's timeline, though. GTA V takes place in the year of the game's release, 2013, as did GTA IV, which was naturally set in 2008. However, previous entries in the series, particularly GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City, as well as many of the spin-off titles, took place in different historical eras. The leaks suggested that the game is set in the present-day, but again, Rockstar could have changed its plans since then.
Whatever the case, you can be we'll be going over the video with a fine-toothed comb to glean whatever information we can from its carefully-curated frames. Stop by on Tuesday to check out our analysis.
