Rockstar Games, the iconic game developer, has set the internet ablaze with the announcement of the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release on December 5 at 1400 GMT. While the actual game release date remains a mystery, fans are buzzing with anticipation.
It’s been a decade since the launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5), securing its place as the second best-selling video game globally, with over 185 million copies sold, just behind Minecraft.
Although signs point to Rockstar Games silently working on GTA 6 for years, the confirmation of its production came in February 2022. The December trailer release aligns with the gaming giant’s 25th-anniversary celebrations.
In an exciting twist, Rockstar has partnered with Netflix to bring classic titles to the streaming platform’s gaming service. On December 14, subscribers can dive into the nostalgia of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on their mobile devices.
For fans, the long-awaited wait might be nearing its end. The first Grand Theft Auto game hit screens in 1997, and despite numerous spin-offs and platform releases, the sixth main entry in the series has kept enthusiasts on edge.
The gaming community speculates that the prolonged development period could be linked to the massive success of GTA Online, the multiplayer version generating substantial revenue for Rockstar Games annually. The popularity of GTA V has led to multiple re-releases on different console generations, keeping the franchise alive and thriving.
