GTA VI Announcement Could Happen This Week Ahead of December Trailer
08.11.2023 - 11:43 / comingsoon.net / Jason Schreier / Rockstar Games / Gta Vi
Rockstar Games could officially announce as early as this week before showing the first trailer for the hotly-anticipated title next month.
As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the trailer for the crime epic would be released to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Rockstar Games.
It’s been a decade since GTA V was released, and five years since Rockstar’s last title, Red Dead Redemption 2, so anticipation, and frustration, have grown immensely with the longest wait for a Grand Theft Auto game by some margin.
Not that GTA has been forgotten, GTA V is the second best-selling video game of all time behind only Minecraft, with more than 185 million copies of the game sold during those ten years and three different console generations. Its GTA Online component has been a constant source of revenue for Rockstar and parent company Take Two after a rocky launch a few weeks after GTA V’s September 17 launch in 2013.
That signals just how big any GTA VI announcement will be. Its predecessor has become an ecosystem that has endured far beyond the main story. Topping that impact, let alone replacing it, will be difficult, even for Rockstar.
It’s known that GTA VI features two protagonists and is set in a fictional Miami, which has previously been called Vice City in GTA games.
Of course, we’ve seen GTA VI in action, albeit in an earlier, cruder form, when hours of pre-alpha gameplay footage was leaked from a network intrusion in 2022. The hack that led to this was investigated, and two UK teens were charged and convicted.
Rockstar was mired in controversy in the wake of Red Dead Redemption 2’s release for its poor work culture, and in its last dalliance with GTA, it faced massive backlash for the poor state of the GTA Trilogy remasters of GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas.

Shocking! Rockstar Games shuts down former developer's blog on GTA development!
Rockstar Games has been one of the world's most popular gaming companies in the last few decades. A major part of its success is particularly attributed to Grand Theft Auto or GTA, its open-world action-adventure video game. There have been many entries into the series to date, and fans are patiently waiting for the release of the next GTA game which is ubiquitously known as GTA 6. However, apart from the confirmation of the GTA 6 trailer release date, there has been no information so far, with Rockstar Games keeping tight-lipped about the game. And it seems like it doesn't want its employees (or even former workers) to talk about other GTA 6 as well.

Rockstar once planned a zombie island survival game using GTA: Vice City code, but it was too "depressing"
GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games were once working on a zombie survival game set on a Scottish island, which sounds like a mixture of GTA: Vice City and legendary Arma mod DayZ. That's according to former technical director Obbe Vermeij, who joined Rockstar North in 1995 back when it was called DMA Design, and left in 2009 following the release of GTA 4. In the run-up to the GTA 6 trailer reveal this month, he's started blogging about the development of several Rockstar games, from GTA through grotty snuff film simulator Manhunt to cancelled projects such as the zombie title and Cold War stealth fest Agent.

Rockstar Games’ Leaked Database Allegedly Hints at Scrapped GTA 5 Story DLC and Bully Sequel
Rockstar Games, makers of the incredibly popular Grand Theft Auto series, finally announced earlier this month that they would officially reveal GTA 6 in December. In a series of posts from Rockstar's X account, studio co-founder Sam Houser confirmed that the much-awaited trailer for GTA 6 would arrive in December. A new leak, however, has unearthed evidence about scrapped story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5. First released in 2013, GTA 5 still features on best-selling charts every month a decade into its run, thanks to GTA Online's thriving success and massive player base. Despite demand from fans, the main game never received a story expansion, with Rockstar instead opting to provide regular updates to the money-spinning online mode. The leak also reveals a canned sequel to 2006's Bully, a cult favourite title from Rockstar that never received a follow-up.
