In a much-anticipated announcement, Rockstar Games, the acclaimed developer behind the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, has revealed that the long-awaited GTA 6 will be unveiled through a trailer on December 5 at 1400 GMT. While the specific release date for the game itself remains shrouded in mystery, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement.
Since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) a decade ago, fans have eagerly awaited the next installment in this iconic franchise. Garnering immense popularity, GTA V has secured its place as the second best-selling video game in history, trailing only behind Minecraft, with over 185 million copies sold.
The announcement of GTA 6’s imminent trailer comes 10 years after the release of its predecessor, and Rockstar Games’ strategic timing aligns with the celebration of its 25th anniversary. Although the company confirmed the game’s production in February 2022, the prolonged development period has only fueled the fervor surrounding its release.
In a surprising move, Rockstar Games has also entered into a partnership with Netflix, allowing subscribers to access GTA classics such as GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on mobile devices starting December 14.
While the prolonged wait for GTA 6 has tested the patience of fans, the multiplayer counterpart, GTA Online, has played a crucial role in maintaining the series’ popularity. Generating substantial revenue for Rockstar Games each year, GTA Online has contributed to the re-releases of GTA V across three generations of home consoles.
As the countdown to December 5 begins, the unveiling of the GTA 6 trailer promises to be a momentous occasion for the gaming community, marking the next chapter in the beloved Grand Theft Auto saga.
