Grand Theft Auto VI – first trailer to be released in early December

The actor who played Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto 5 got swatted while live-streaming online, with fans blaming game developer Rockstar Games.

A former member of staff at Rockstar who worked on a raft of Grand Theft Auto games has pulled their behind-the-scenes development blog after someone from the studio got in touch.

Rockstar has removed the Social Club branding from its website, presumably in anticipation of GTA 6. As per the news account @videotechuk_ on Twitter, the publisher has replaced the nomenclature with simply ‘Rockstar Games' and scrapped any references to ‘Social Club members.' The online gaming service is also missing the old logo now, though players can still engage in multiplayer elements and accrue member-exclusive rewards from games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. For now, it's unclear whether Rockstar would launch a new platform or simply update the existing application to usher in the new era, but traces of the branding still remain in-game.

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.

After years of yearning from fans, intense speculation, rumors, unthinkably massive data breaches, and even an FBI Investigation, co-founder and President of Rockstar Games Sam Houser posted on the studio blog and Twitter account on November 8th that the “first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto” will be released in early December.

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?

GTA 6 is getting a trailer in early December, Rockstar Games has confirmed. The news follows a recent report claiming that the developer was planning an announcement ‘as early as this week.' Studio co-founder Sam Houser attested to those claims, adding that next month also marks Rockstar's 25th-anniversary celebration, and thanked players for their continued support over the decades. It's been over 11 years since Grand Theft Auto V launched in 2013, which at the time of writing has sold over 190 million copies — 5 million of them were sold in Q4 2023, thanks to next-gen upgrades and the GTA Online segment still going strong.

After 10 long years of waiting, Rockstar Games will finally reveal the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in December.

Long-suffering Grand Theft Auto fans have been waiting for the series’ next mainline instalment for over a decade now, and though the end is finally in sight, with Grand Theft Auto 6 set to be unveiled next month, GTA 5 continues to sell at an impressive rate, over a decade on from its launch.

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.
