[Update:Rockstar’s Sam Houser has confirmed that a trailer for the nextGrand Theft Autogame will be released in December. The original story follows after the below tweet.]
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.Thank you,Sam Houser
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reports that aGrand Theft Auto 6announcement could be coming as early as this week, according to his sources.
Schreier’s sourcesalso tell him that a trailer is scheduled for December, to coincide with Rockstar’s 25th anniversary. As one of the most anticipated games, anticipation is high for Rockstar to finally unveil the next chapter of the massive franchise.
For years there has been a flood ofGTA 6rumors,with nearly all proving to be false. However, due to Schreier’s track record, this claim holds a little more weight. Schreier had also previously reported thatthe upcoming game will feature a Latina protagonistwhich aligned with what we eventually saw in thecolossal 2022 leak.
The long wait for Grand Theft Auto VI
The gap betweenGTA 5and its successor is the biggest in the franchise, with the game being originally released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. During this time, it’s had several re-releases, including a remaster for current-gen consoles. We got our first official mention of the successor in February 2022, and since then, reports from Schreier have claimed that we’ll be heading back to Vice City in the next installment.
It is hard to predict what the upcoming game will look and feel like, as there have been significant changes at Rockstar sinceGTA 5. Most notably,Dan Houser has left the studio, and there have also been reports of a cultural change at the studio as it aims to shed its old fratboy ways.
Prior reports claim that the upcoming gamecould launch in 2025, though we will have to wait for official word from Rockstar before marking our calendars.
