As the new year rolls in, we all eagerly await the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6, that has finally been confirmed for a 2025 release. With an eleven year gap since the launch of the fifth game in the series, Grand Theft Auto 6 has been eagerly anticipated for just over a whole decade. Read on to find out everything we know about this trending upcoming release.
The World of Grand Theft Auto 6
The above trailer confirmed the many rumors that have been circulating over the past few years; that Grand Theft Auto 6 will revisit the vibrant Vice City. However, with so much time – and a new generation of consoles – having passed since the last franchise title, it’s more than reasonable to assume that the city will be even bigger than when we first visited it over twenty years ago.
Of course, cities don’t just expand but we remain hopeful that new areas will have been unlocked on the outskirts of Vice City, offering us a larger map with a lot more opportunity for exploration and many more hidden secrets to discover. I, for one, can’t wait to delve back into the infamous city, bathe in nostalgic glory and explore what’s new.
The Grand Theft Auto 6 Announcement Trailer
Originally planned for a release on December 5, Rockstar‘s hand was forced into moving the announcement to the 4th after the infamous leak that saw details revealed to the world before the eyes of the public were intended to see. The 91-second-long trailer revealed Lucia, one of the game’s main protagonists, as she’s being released from prison to continue her life as a career criminal.
There are very few further details surrounding the storyline but from what I could see, it seems as though you partner up to form a crime duo akin to Natural Born Killers’ very own Micky and Malory Knox to work towards a mastermind heist.
The Colorful Characters of Grand Theft Auto 6
Like in all of the previous installments of the much-loved trilogy, Grand Theft Auto 6 looks poised and ready to introduce us to a whole bevy of interesting characters. From the 91 seconds that the trailer offers alone, we see bikers, tweakers, bangers and even what appears to be an underground car racing syndicate.
Grand Theft Auto has long been home to some of the most memorable characters in gaming history. With the likes of OG Loc, Big Smoke, Trevor Phillips and Tommy Vercetti to have graced us with their presence already, I’m pretty excited to discover what other madcap characters will feature in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Brings Sad News for Some
Sadly for some, Rockstar have announced that the globally anticipated game won’t be available on last generation consoles and, as a shock to many, no PC version has yet been confirmed, so by all intents and purposes, Grand Theft Auto 6 will likely only be available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Furthermore, there has been no confirmation regarding a multiplayer mode, leaving those waiting for the game to land dumbfounded.
Grand Theft Auto 6 – Summary
With what could be a near two year wait ahead of us for the game to land, I’m guessing that more information will be revealed in the months coming up to 2025. With details as scarce as they are, it’s difficult to confirm much about the game but from what I have seen, Grand Theft Auto 6 promises a deeply immersive player experience, presented with jaw dropping graphics and a touch of nostalgia as we await a re-visit the mean streets of Vice City.
