Grand Theft Auto 6is finally happening. The first trailer will be with us on December 5, next Tuesday. We even have the exact time, withRockstarsaying that the first trailer will drop at 9am ET/2pm GMT.
This is sooner than many of us were expecting.Rockstar had already confirmed that the reveal would be in early December, and this led many of us to believe that it would be unveiled atThe Game Awardson December 7. Now, we know that Rockstar will be handling the reveal itself, finally giving fans a taste of the long-awaited GTA 6 in just a matter of days.
We have remarkably little to go on right now, but that isn’t stopping fans from speculating on what the trailer will show us. Indeed, few studios could get away with dropping a release date for atrailer, but here we are. When your sequel has been a decade in the making, fans will take what they can get.
The fact that Rockstar is calling this Trailer 1 means we shouldn’t expect everythingto be revealed on Tuesday. In fact, it’s not even clear if we’ll be getting a release date. But given how long fans have waited, anything resembling gameplay will likely be enough. It’s safe to assume we’ll get a good look at the new protagonists too, who we already know to bea couple called Jason and Lucia, thanks to leaks.
As I’m sure every single Grand Theft Auto fan is well aware of by now, it’s been a painfully long road getting to GTA 6’s official reveal. We’ve known about the next game being in development for quite some time, buta huge leak in 2022gave us our first glimpse at the game and somehow made the whole wait a lot more painful.
Since then, we’ve not really heard anything much about the game beyondTake-Two Interactive investor’s calls hinting at its release dateand confirming that the studio plans to make a ton of money from it, but that hasn’t stopped fans from trying to find clues everywhere, even if the evidence supporting them is slim.
From rumouredactors trolling the communityat seemingly every turn tosocial media posts about GTA Online eventsbeing taken as signs from the moon that a reveal is coming, it’s been a painful couple of years waiting for this official reveal. At least now we can move on to waiting for the actual game to launch, whenever that’s going to end up being.
