Everything We Know So Far

After over a yr of teases and leaks, Rockstar has lastly lifted the curtain on Grand Theft Auto 6. We’ve obtained a model new trailer displaying off the locale and new protagonists. Right here’s every little thing we find out about GTA 6 thus far.

It’s Set in Vice Metropolis

Maybe probably the most thrilling factor about GTA 6 is its locale. Grand Theft Auto: Vice Metropolis was initially launched in 2002, and whereas we did get to revisit it briefly in Vice Metropolis Tales for the PSP in 2006, this can be a metropolis that has a lot unrealized potential.

GTA 6 can be bringing gamers again to the state of Leonida. We will in all probability safely assume that a lot of the sport will happen in Vice Metropolis itself, a fictional model of Miami, Florida. The trailer alone reveals off the swamplands of Leonida, crocs strolling into comfort shops, the flashing neon lights of town’s golf equipment and nightlife, and a lot extra.

Vice Metropolis was already a fairly superb place again on the PS2 and PSP. It’s thrilling to see what Rockstar does with it on the present era of consoles.

Twin Protagonists

The trailer itself didn’t give away all that a lot, however we do know that Lucia has in all probability simply been launched from jail and shortly turns to a lifetime of crime in Vice Metropolis alongside her companion Jason. Given GTA 5’s setup, it’s additionally in all probability protected to imagine that we should always be capable of swap between Lucia and Jason as effectively after we tackle varied quests and missions in-game.

A Bonnie and Clyde-inspired Story

Talking of Lucia and Jason, it seems like GTA 6’s story can be fairly closely impressed by the 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde. It revolved round a felony couple pulling off financial institution robberies and heists all around the nation. If there’s one factor we find out about Rockstar, it’s that they’ll probably satirize Bonnie and Clyde not directly with Lucia and Jason. We wouldn’t be shocked in the event that they ended up enjoying issues a bit of straight as effectively.

The trailer confirmed off Lucia and Jason getting as much as no good in Vice Metropolis, robbing shops and doubtlessly banks. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see how Rockstar places a spin on this traditional love story. Given how in style heists had been in GTA 5 and GTA On-line, it actually wouldn’t be shocking if the builders wished to lean into that for this entry, too.

2025 Launch Window

Now ,we get to the much less thrilling stuff. Whereas it was enjoyable to get an concept of the tone of the sport, it’ll be some time earlier than GTA 6 really releases. The teaser trailer solely tell us that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch someday in 2025, however nothing past that.

It’ll Come to Consoles First
