It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for the entertainment industry as a whole. Three years later, it feels like we are still recovering from COVID-19 and all the issues that came with that experience. With writers’ and actors’ strikes, movies and TV are seriously starting to lag behind. Video Games are on track to becoming one of the biggest industries in the world, and the massive hype around the GTA 6 announcement proves it.
A GTA 6 Leak Claims The Game Is Inspired By These 2015 Movie Characters
Rockstar experienced one of the most significant leaks in recent video game production history, as the world went wild about what the franchise would experience next. Considering it has been a decade since the last game entry in the GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto V) franchise, fans worldwide eagerly awaited what was up next.
Since the leak, Rockstar has kept their cards close to their chest, waiting until they were ready to release any announcements and finished trailer, and not just bowing to what their community was begging for. Well, they were finally ready and released their first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI today, on the 5th of December 2023, after an announcement on the 1st of December, and the internet went wild.
Within the first 4 seconds, it is easy to see why fans are so hyped about this game. The game will be stunning, starting with the perfect sunset over a busy Vice City. The character models look almost real, even with the signature style of GTA permeating the art style.
Since the initial leak, fans have been excited about the prospect of playing a female protagonist for the first time in the franchise’s history. Rockstar hasn’t backed down on this, presenting their Bonnie and Clyde-like duo, but mainly from the female lead’s perspective.
There are cars, guns, beautiful graphics, and a campaign that helps you understand Vice City’s difficulties. It looks like GTA 6 will live up to everything GTA fans are hoping for and possibly even surpass it.

It's been just over two weeks since the GTA 6 trailer dropped, and the community has now reached the 'hair analysis' part of the hype cycle.

The arrival of the GTA 6 trailer means that we've had a pretty good look at the world of Vice City. But for one dedicated community, the trailer was just the next step in a complex GTA 6 mapping project - and now the real work can begin.
Rockstar pulled the virtual trigger, finally giving us a glimpse of GTA VI.
Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer gives fans of the open-world crime franchise a peek at the first new GTA in more than a decade. As impressive as GTA 6 looks, it comes with immense expectations. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, is one of the biggest games of all time; Rockstar has sold more than 190 million copies of the game across three console generations, and following that massive success won’t be an easy task.
There was little doubt that the GTA VI trailer would do well in terms of viewership. Still, the debut video of Rockstar's massively anticipated new game surpassed even the rosiest expectations.
Fans around the world exploded with excitement Monday when Rockstar Games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI , or GTA 6 -- the most hotly anticipated game of the decade. The first look at the next instalment in the blockbuster series follows years of feverish speculation about the setting, characters and atmosphere of GTA VI.
Yesterday, after literally years of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar finally dropped the first teaser for Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer has gone over well for the most part, although some were surprised to note that the game will only be launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, not PC. Rockstar has made a habit of this over the years, but the industry has changed and outside of console exclusives either developed or paid for by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, it’s extremely rare these days for a big AAA game to be released exclusively on console without a PC version. May as well grab those extra bucks from PC players at launch, right? So, why are Rockstar and Take Two Interactive sticking with the console-first approach when almost everyone else has abandoned it?
Ned Luke, best known to many as Michael in GTA 5, was among the fans most excited for the GTA 6 trailer. In a two-hour watchalong and react stream on his personal YouTube, the voice actor shared his thoughts on the long-awaited open-world follow-up, and boy were a lot of those thoughts about butts.
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been shrouded in mystery for over a year; all of our knowledge about the game before now has come from leaks and rumours.
