Alright, folks, let’s dive into the GTA 6 trailer and what we’ve got on this game so far. So, you know it’s been a whopping 10 years since Rockstar Games dropped the fan-favorite GTA V, and while they’ve re-released it more times than you’ve changed your socks, we’re all itching for the real deal – GTA 6.
Now, rumors about this game have been swirling since 2014, but Rockstar only ‘fessed up in early 2022, saying they’re actively working on it. Well, after almost two years of speculation, we finally got our peepers on the first trailer, which dropped on December 4th, right on Rockstar Games’ 25th birthday bash.
This trailer takes us back to a fresh and sunny Vice City, and we meet Lucia, our main character, and her yet-to-be-named sidekick. The whole thing is set to Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road,” and it’s packed with neon lights, speedboats, jumbo jets, pool parties, strip joints, flamingos, and some snazzy TikTok-like vertical footage. Trust me, this trailer got fans hyped like never before.
But what’s the lowdown on GTA 6? When’s it hitting the streets, and how much will it burn a hole in your wallet? Let’s break it down.
So, about that release date – nothing set in stone yet, but that trailer did give us a tiny nugget. When those credits roll at the end, it says “Coming 2025.” Yeah, I know, it’s a bummer. But let’s take a peek at Rockstar’s history. Red Dead Redemption 2 dropped about two years after its first teaser, even with some delays. So, if GTA 6 follows suit, we might be cruising the streets of Vice City in early 2025. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get pushed back too much!
Now, about the location. Last year, a hacker spilled the beans with 90 videos and screenshots, confirming Vice City as our playground. The trailer seals the deal with Miami vibes galore. They’re even expanding the map big time, way bigger than the 2002 version. Reddit’s already going wild with fan-made maps based on the leaks.
And the story? Like GTA V, we’ll have more than one hero to root for. Meet Lucia and her partner, who’s still a mystery man. Rumor has it, they’re inspired by real-life criminals Bonnie and Clyde. In the trailer, Lucia’s in a prison uniform, chatting up her parole officer. The guy? Well, he’s keeping his name a secret for now. You can bet your bottom dollar we’ll be switching between these two during missions.
Now, let’s talk money. There’s buzz that this game’s got a budget that’d make Scrooge McDuck blush, like $1-2 billion! Folks are tossing around $150 (£120) as a possible price tag, but let’s not jump the gun. Most big-time games start around £69.99, and even with that monster budget, I doubt it’ll break the bank.
Finally, which consoles will get a taste of GTA 6? PS5 and Xbox Series X are the only confirmed ones so far. No word on PC, PS4, or Xbox One. Those older consoles might not make the cut since the PS5 and Xbox Series X will have a solid five years under their belts by 2025. And as for cross-platform play, Rockstar’s playing coy – they haven’t spilled the beans on that yet.
So there you have it, folks, the latest scoop on GTA 6. Get ready to ride the Vice City waves in 2025 (hopefully), and start saving your pennies, but don’t break the piggy bank just yet!
