Grand Theft Auto 6 Is Planned for a 2025 Release; GTAO Updates to Slow Down Next Month to Allow Marketing Push

Nearly 15 years ago, Rockstar Games announced a brand-new game: Agent, which ultimately never saw the light of day. And according to a former Rockstar employee, the would-be title had to be dumped in favor of Grand Theft Auto V. 

Remember Rockstar’s Agent? Announced in 2007 for the PlayStation 3, it was touted as a stealth action title set during the Cold War. It would receive sporadic updates before the trademark was eventually abandoned and it was removed from the developer’s website. However, new details are available thanks to former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked from 1999 to 2009.

The latest trend of leaks and speculation online regarding Rockstar Games is their next Grand Theft Auto installment. This video game franchise has had a massive following over the years, but a new installment has been absent for years. Since 2013, fans have been playing with Grand Theft Auto V while waiting for the studio to drop Grand Theft Auto VI. We know the game is in the works; even a trailer is planned for early December. However, a new leak for Grand Theft Auto V has fans talking about some of the past projects Rockstar Games was apparently working on, such as a Bully sequel. 

From The Last of Us and God of War to Mario and The Legend of Zelda (to name just a few), there has been no shortage of major gaming properties that are being adapted as TV shows or movies. And at a time where it feels like it’s only a matter of time before most major gaming franchises get snapped up for similar adaptations, it’s only natural to wonder when we’ll be seeing a Grand Theft Auto film.

Rockstar Games is preparing to reveal the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in early December (perhaps at The Game Awards on December 7th). Despite leaks and reports of scaling down, there’s plenty of hype for the open-world title, rumored to release in 2025. Publisher Take-Two Interactive isn’t setting expectations, though.

Even if the current discussions between studios and video game actors results in a stike, Take-Two says GTA 6 is «completely protected.»

The torturously long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 is entering is final stretch now. With Rockstar Games having officially confirmed that it will be debuting the first trailer for the title in early December, the end is finally in sight for those who have been waiting for the series’ next instalment for over a decade. But of course, a question that many are still asking is- when exactly will the game come out?

GTA 6 Update: Rockstar Games Inc. is preparing to reveal plans for its next entry in the seminal Grand Theft Auto franchise as soon as this week, with a trailer to come in December. As we await further details on GTA VI, here's a look back at its pedigree and why its release is among the most hotly anticipated events on the games calendar.

After more than a decade, Rockstar Games will finally deliver a sequel to Grand Theft Auto 5, the multi-generational open-world crime spree that has sold more than 190 million copies. In December, GTA fans will get their first official look at the next Grand Theft Auto in trailer form, Rockstar has confirmed.

After reports circulated by Bloomberg last night, Rockstar Games has officially announced it will be finally showing the first trailer of the next Grand Theft Auto to fans next month. 

Rockstar Games could unveil Grand Theft Auto VI this week, according to a report from Bloomberg.

We will be getting our first official look at a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise next month.
