Finally, after years of rumors that would make even the most seasoned spy thriller writer blush and intense anticipation, Rockstar Games dropped this bombshell – the first trailer of the next Grand Theft Auto installment tralier is going to be accessible on virtual airwaves in early December. The tweet announcing the arrival of the trailer had almost a hundred million views just within hours sending shockwaves across the gaming community.
The enthusiasm surrounding GTA 6 is far from a mere fad as it demonstrates how the franchise has stood the test of time. As one of the all-time best-selling video games, its predecessor was sold over 165 million times. This game’s open-world environment, immersive narrative and seamlessly integrated online multiplayer feature are some factors that have made it successful so far.
GTA 6 has been a rumor long before GTA 5 appeared. Leslie Benzies claimed in 2012 that “We’ve got about 45 years worth of ideas” (as cited in “Benzies: ‘We’ve got about 45 years worth of ideas’” by Leslie Benzies). TechRadar later reported that the game was coming soon and this created a lot of excitement.
Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, once confessed that he did not know how he would ever top it for his fans with another sequel. According to Kotaku, however, GTA 6 was still releasing in 2020.”
Bloomberg published an unprecedented article in July 2022 exposing vital information about GTA 6 and what people were expecting. The game was set to be fictionalized called Miami, Florida with two main characters; male and female.Release date will be sometime during 2024.
Shockwaves went through the gaming industry in September 2023 following a big leak. It was actually a hacking group who leaked GTA 6, with the expose comprising of video of its game play, voice recordings and even code. The Bloomberg’s report was supported by the leaked materials though it also brought out other undisclosed elements such as money-laundering system and heists.
Nevertheless, Rockstar Games remains unshaken following the leak and is set to release GTA 6 in December. The company plugged all security holes that made the attack possible and has again promised to give unforgettable experiences to gamers
Leak was able to show us more about the technical advancements in the game, revealing lighting enhancing that must have been used in Red Dead 2. Additionally, it foreshadowed the new game mechanics including Money laundering and Robberies matching Bonnie and Clyde background of its characters. Furthermore, the leak showed some small things like raccoons rummaging through garbage which enriched the game’s world with an atmosphere of reality.
However, it is worth noting that all these leaked aspects are still very much a part of development and may not necessarily be included in the final version of the game. On this basis, Rockstar Games have creative freedom to tweak or alter any features of their choice..
Having caught the attention of millions worldwide, GTA Online has become a force that cannot be ignored. It is not unexpected that Rockstar Games would want to keep GTA Online alive even after GTA 6 comes out. Nevertheless, there are rumors that Rockstar Games is also working on a completely new GTA Online version.
In 2021, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company for Rockstar Games filed a patent for a system which may greatly enhance NPC behavior in online games. The patent as well could be seen as part of development of new GTA Online experience (or just some other technology that Rockstar Games develops currently for future titles).
Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for release in early December 2023. The game is expected to grace the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. While there's a possibility of a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release, no official confirmation has been made.
The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been a marathon
