Fans just cant wait to get their hands on the sequel to the showstoppingGTA 5entry.
Its been a grueling 13 years sinceGTA 5hit stores.
In February 2022, Rockstar Games confirmed the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway.
Thereafter, leaked footage gave us hints about one of the maps and likely the main character forGTA 6.
Has Rockstar Games finally confirmed an actual release date?
What about the story and gameplay?
Come with us as we explore everything we know so far aboutGrand Theft Auto 6.
What is Grand Theft Auto 6?
GTAis no stranger to gaming, having sold over 190 million copies.
Its latest entry,GTA 5, was a massive commercial success.
It makes you all the more excited to witness just how vigorouslyGTA 6intends to rock the gaming boat.
These were set in the mid-1980s.
But Rockstar plans to adapt it into a modern-day version.
For the first time ever,GTA 6will feature a female playable protagonist in the main story mode.
Exciting stuff, for sure.
Gameplay
As always,GTA 6will spawn players in a massive open-world city.
Itll follow twin protagonists, Lucia and Jason.
In the trailer, Lucia seems to be wearing prison clothes.
So, perhaps shes on the run.
Shes also closely bonded to Jason, with whom theyll presumably be orchestrating heists together.
Hopefully, well see more concrete details in a future gameplay trailer.
Development
Apparently, the development ofGTA 6has been in play since 2014.
However, the official confirmation came much later, in February 2022, via aGTA 5Community Update.
In a section called Whats Next, Rockstar stated that the next entry in the franchise is well underway.
Then, proceeded to seal tight any further details.
The words well underway kept coming up, and not much else.
Well, at least until the official launch of the first-everGTA 6trailer.
So, definitely watch this space for new updates on developments as they come in.
As of now, you’re able to finally check out the officialGTA 6trailer.
Funny enough, it had been scheduled to be released on December 5, 2023.
However,Rockstar Gameswent ahead and posted the trailer a day early after yet another leak.
Now, 2025 only provides us with a release window.
But its better than nothing.
Plus, whats two more years, possibly more, of waiting?
We suspect the release window may slip further.
Rockstar Games hasnt exactly built a reputation for sticking to timelines.
Either way, at least we now have a release window to look forward to.
Previous Rockstar Games have paved their way to these platforms.
So, who knows?
Maybe theyll launch on these platforms a little later.
What remains unclear are the editions you might expect to pre-order.
