In a much-anticipated move for gaming enthusiasts, Rockstar Games officially revealed the release date for the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Through a post on X, the studio confirmed that the long-awaited trailer would hit screens next Tuesday at 9 am ET / 6 am PT / 2 pm GMT / 3 pm CET, signaling an exciting moment for fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the iconic franchise.
This announcement follows the studio's declaration in November regarding plans to mark their 25th anniversary with the launch of GTA 6's inaugural trailer in December, building up considerable anticipation and speculation among the gaming community.
Earlier in February 2022, Rockstar Games had confirmed that active development on the highly anticipated GTA 6 was well underway, withholding specific details about the game at the time. However, in a surprising turn of events, over an hour of GTA 6 development footage leaked online in September 2022, stemming from a notable data breach within the video game industry. The leaked content provided an initial glimpse into the open-world gameplay of GTA 6, revealing an alpha build and potentially validating earlier rumors suggesting the game's setting in Vice City and a female lead character.
With Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar, forecasting the release of "several groundbreaking titles" in its upcoming fiscal year, expectations have grown about the imminent arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6. Analysts and enthusiasts speculate that the anticipated game could potentially hit the market before the end of the fiscal year, which concludes on March 31, 2025.
The revelations surrounding the trailer's imminent release have ignited excitement and heightened speculations, propelling the buzz around Grand Theft Auto 6 to new heights within the gaming community. As anticipation mounts, fans eagerly await the forthcoming trailer, hoping for further insights into the highly anticipated title.
