It has been a long time coming and after a leak that there would be an announcement in December, a teaser image showing exactly when that announcement would be made, and finally a full leak of the actual video, Rockstar Games has taken it upon themselves to make things official a day early. The company has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be releasing on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2025 and have released the first trailer for the game giving us a look at what appears to be two playable characters that players will be able to control, one female and one male.
The trailer shows off a ton of random locations throughout the franchise’s return to Vice City and various action events all set to the song of Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road.” Currently there is no exact information about the playable characters in the game, although the female character may be named Lucia, besides the fact that Vice CIty is in the state of Leonida and Rockstar describes Grand Theft Auto VI as being the “biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.”
