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.

You may have noticed they refer to “the next Grand Theft Auto” and not GTA 6. Could this be a sign that they are dropping the numbering system and using a subtitle.. like Vice City?
Original story below…
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has been talking to his shadowy sources again and has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI (or GTA 6 to it’s mates) will be officially announced in the very future, possibly as early as next week. He also states that a trailer for the game will launch in December “to celebrate Rockstar’s 25th anniversary.”
In May 2023 CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick, appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss the companies upcoming financial predictions which include making eight billion dollars in its 2025 fiscal year. The only Take-Two game capable of making that amount is Grand Theft Auto VI, so it seems like the game will be out before March 2025. As Rockstar usually trail at GTA game for at least a year to build hype so a reveal around now would be in line with past actions.
Development on GTA 6 suffered a blow when a hacker stole over 90 from Rockstar Games’ internal communication networks. They confirmed that the game will take players to a modern Vice City, that there will be a series first female protagonist, alongside at least one other, and showed some NPC interactions, strip clubs and more.
As part of an investigations supported by the UK’s National Cyber Crime Unite, the City of London Police confirmed the arrest of a 17-year-old from Oxfordshire a week after the hack. US-based reporter Matthew Keys added to the initial report to say that this was indeed an arrest of the suspected hacker behind the GTA 6 leak and Uber hack, and has come in collaboration with the FBI.
In the end a London Jury found that 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj released the leaked gameplay videos of Grand Theft Auto VI having previously threatened Rockstar Games with the leak. In a rather British twist he released the videos from a Travelodge hotel.

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.
A Grand Theft Auto 6 related announcement may be coming in a little over a week, according to rumors circulating online.
Grand Theft Auto V never got a proper story expansion, and it definitely seems like some sort of story DLC was indeed planned, judging from a recent discovery.
At some point in early December 2023, the first trailer for the long-awaited will be released by developer Rockstar Games. While the announcement of a first official look at the game was met with online fanfare from the fanbase, it has not stopped the near-constant stream of leaks and rumors — and one rumor in particular is incredibly interesting for story-mode aficionados. A recent leak on the site GTAForums, alleges that Rockstar is planning to elongate the lifecycle of by releasing updates to keep players engrossed in a way that could change the franchise forever.
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.»
Christmas is coming early! Rockstar Games has officially announced the upcoming release of the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, scheduled for early December. This confirmation comes on the heels of a recent Bloomberg report speculating that Rockstar was poised to make a formal announcement about GTA 6.
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?
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.
Rockstar Games head Sam Houser confirmed today that the next Grand Theft Auto video game will be introduced in a trailer coming December.
