The GTA 6 trailer is coming – confirmed by Rockstar via a solitary social media image this week. So far, all we really know for certain is that the GTA 6 trailer release time is 9am ET / 2pm UK on Tuesday, December 5. The sunset colors and palm tree silhouettes certainly suggest a return to the Miami-inspired Vice City setting – a rumor the Grand Theft Auto community has subscribed to ever since the GTA 6 leaks of last year – but we're otherwise in the dark about, well, pretty much everything regarding the next slice of the long-standing open-world crime simulator series.
Which makes now a good time to cast our eyes back over the series to date. The GTA timeline spans several decades across multiple entries in the series. And while each game is its own self-contained thing, with some connections and spin-offs, the wider GTA series can be broken up by its 2D, 3D, and HD universes – the canonical groupings that divide installments. From the top-down 2D games (from 1997), to the 3D era that was kicked off by GTA 3 (2001), we then saw the series venture into the realms of HD with GTA 4 (2008) and continue with the ever-popular GTA 5 (2013).
