Take-Two and Rockstar Games are to officially announce the next instalment in its Grand Theft Auto series this week, according to a report from Bloomberg citing sources close to the game’s development. Rockstar’s founder Sam Houser has since confirmed that a trailer for the game will debut in December, coinciding with developer Rockstar’s 25th anniversary.
Much is already known about Grand Theft Auto Six due to an unprecedented leak in 2022, when hours’ worth of in-progress game footage was stolen from Rockstar’s servers, resulting in the conviction of two British teenagers. The developer had previously confirmed in February 2022 that work on the game was “well underway”. The game is set in Vice City, a fictional Miami last seen in 2006’s GTA: Vice City Stories, and will feature the series’ first female protagonist.
