GTA 6, one of the most anticipated video games of all time, will be set in Vice City, a fictionalized version of Miami and features a female protagonist.
Rockstar Games dropped the first short trailer for “Grand Theft Auto 6” on Tuesday, marking the latest installment in the mainline Grand Theft Auto series. GTA 6, touted as the biggest action-adventure game of the next year, is the sequel to 2013’s mega-hit GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time, following Minecraft.
Set in Vice City, the series’ fictional take on Miami, the trailer prominently features a female protagonist, Lucia, who appears to embark on a crime spree with her partner. While Rockstar Games has not revealed the plot or storyline, the song in the trailer is “Long is a Long Road” by Tom Petty.
It has been 10 years since Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto 5, and since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting a sequel. That game went on to sell 185 million copies.
The new GTA 6 game will come to Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, as stated by Take-Two. Given that the developer made no mention of any other platforms, it appears that GTA 6 could be skipping PC, at least at launch.
“Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere.”
Rockstar Games officially confirmed it was working on Grand Theft Auto 6 in early 2022. The launch of the GTA 6 trailer coincides with the company’s 25th anniversary.
