The GTA VI Trailer Is Here NOW; The Game Won’t Come ‘Til 2025

Rockstar said they’d release the GTA VI trailer tomorrow, December 5. But then a leak happened today and the company was like “screw it, here it is officially.” Behold: for the first time ever, this is what a Grand Theft Auto made with modern technology can look like:

I’d imagine Rockstar is fed up with leaks by this point; we knew about the Vice City setting and the dual protagonists from the previous big leak last year. They know how to make an impressive trailer though and if you think you’ve seen this game, you really haven’t. The soft pastels bring to mind the 80s-set Vice City from 2002, still the favorite GTA of many. This area has of course been updated for modern times with streaming phone videos, twerking, screeching Karens and alligators popping up in all sorts of places. And we now know the names of the characters in the Bonnie and Clyde single-player campaign: Lucia and Jason.

Unfortunately the trailer also confirms we WON’T be getting any of this next year. There’s long development periods and then there’s the wait between GTAs V and VI. The former came out in 2013 and the latter won’t be out until two years from now, assuming no delays in production. Altogether it’ll take twelve years to get GTA VI. To all you young’uns, I swear there was a time when these were released annually.

We’ll have more about GTA VI as Rockstar releases info, whether officially or (more likely) through more leaks.
