"GTA 6" - "Historic moment": fans celebrate trailer
After a leak put publisher Rockstar Games under pressure: The first trailer for "Grand Theft Auto 6" is here, a few hours before the planned release date. Rockstar had actually specified 9 a.m. Eastern Time this Tuesday as the release date, i.e. 3 p.m. Central European Time.
Fans celebrate "historic moment" - launch date disillusioned
Fans of the successful open-world series had to wait ten years for the last installment, Grand Theft Auto 5, which was released in 2013. The hype is correspondingly high. After eight hours, over 46 million people have already watched the trailer on YouTube. In the comments, there is repeated talk of a "historic moment" that takes fans back to their youth.
However, the launch date of "GTA 6", which is shown at the end of the trailer, is likely to cause disillusionment. The game will not be released until 2025. Previously, there had been rumors of autumn 2024.
Back in Vice City
The trailer takes us to Vice City. The fictional version of Miami was already the setting for'GTA Vice City'. After the 2002 predecessor was set in the 1980s, 'GTA 6' is set in the present day. The visuals familiar from social media apps are presented in excessive detail in the teaser.
To the sounds of Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road", we get lovingly crafted insights into everyday life and subculture in Vice City, with alligators up to mischief.
The protagonists of "GTA 6" are, as was also previously known from a leak, the couple Lucia and Jason. The Latina Lucia is fresh out of prison and, together with her lover, goes on a Bonnie and Clyde-style heist. Lucia is the first playable heroine since the first part of"Grand Theft Auto".
Part six is actually the eighth main game in the series and the 16th part in total. The name "GTA 6" is merely a result of the consecutive numbering after the last major title "Grand Theft Auto 5".
