Rockstar bumped up the GTA 6 trailer release date a little early, after a crypto organization leaked the full thing on Twitter. The full GTA 6 trailer in all its 90-second glory is officially live now, without a giant crypto watermark, and you can watch it below.
The trailer doesn’t give a whole lot away for the action game, though it does confirm a few tidbits of information that leaked in 2022, the biggest of which is that there are, seemingly, two protagonists. One is a young woman recently released from jail who returns home and seems to have some kind of gang on her tail. The voice lines mention the jobs she and her partner in crime – and perhaps in life – are pulling off are life-and-death situations.
Elsewhere, we see plenty of gorgeous footage of Miami – or Vice City, which is basically the same thing – which also leaked as GTA 6’s setting before. There’s the harbor, a dense, hectic, bustling downtown with all the seediness and bright lights you’d expect from a GTA game, and even a trip through the Everglades or a similarly swampy locale on a fanboat. Gunshots, gators, getaway cars, steamy scenes of intimacy, brash vulgarity, and a really angry old lady in a nightgown – it’s the entire human experience crammed together in one short moment.
The only thing it’s missing is Phil Collins. Rockstar used Tom Petty’s “Love Is A Long Road” for the trailer song this time.
As for when you can dig into that slice of crime life for yourself, well, you’ll have a while to wait. Rockstar said GTA 6 is set to launch in 2025. Considering Take-Two predicts record-breaking profits in its upcoming fiscal year, which begins in April 2024, a release early in 2025 seems likely – assuming there aren’t any more delays.
