Rockstar officially announces GTA 6 reveal in December
08.11.2023 - 14:29 / pcgamer.com / Strauss Zelnick / Sam Houser
Friends, the prophets spoke true. Mere hours after rumours began to spread that Rockstar was gearing up for an official Grand Theft Auto 6 announcement ahead of a proper trailer in December, Rockstar has gone and made an official GTA 6 announcement ahead of a proper trailer in December.
In a post on the Rockstar blog marking the studio's 25th anniversary, company president Sam Houser announced that «in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto,» before letting us know that the studio looks forward to «many more years of sharing these experiences with you.»
And, well, that's it. No, really. The post announcing the reveal for perhaps one of the most massively hyped games of this decade and the previous one consisted of zero images and 142 words on a black background, almost 12 years to the day after the original 2011 announcement for GTA 5. It's a level of cocky corporate nonchalance that Rockstar is very good at, even if the stylish mystery of the whole thing is undermined slightly by the absolutely gargantuan GTA 6 leak that took place last year.
Still, even despite that leak, there's still plenty we don't know about the next entry in Rockstar's money-printing series. There are two «Bonnie and Clyde inspired» main characters, it's set in Vice City, and we reckon it'll come out in 2024. Apart from that? Who knows? You'll probably be able to steal cars, I bet. It's right there in the name.
Rockstar officially announced GTA 6 last year, and hype levels are borderline religious, so it has some lofty expectations to live up to. Its corporate overlords seem confident, though. Back in May, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar's goal was nothing short of "[seeking] perfection" in the games it makes, and that whatever GTA 6 turns out to be «needs to be something you've never seen before on the one hand, and it needs to reflect the feeling we have about Grand Theft Auto.» I guess the companies are finally ready to put their money where their mouths are.
Take-Two is still set to release its second-quarter financial results today, and it's possible the contents of those have something to do with Rockstar's announcement timing. Perhaps we'll be able to glean more information there, but if not, well, December's not so far away.

GTA 6 Trailer Countdown: Rockstar Games Removes ‘Social Club’ Branding From Site Ahead of Release
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.

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.
