GTA 6:The first look
The first look at the sixth game in the Grand Theft Auto series has finally been revealed after the trailer of the highly anticipated blockbuster was leaked.
Developer Rockstar was forced to release the game 15 hours ahead of its much-delayed release after a low-quality copy spread online.
The 90-second trailer confirmed that the game would be set in the Miami-inspired Vice City and that a female protagonist, Lucia, would play the lead role for the first time since the 1990s.
GTA 6: But the wait isn’t over, as the game isn’t scheduled to launch until 2025.
GTA 6:The last main game in the series will be the sequel to 2013’s smash hit GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time behind Minecraft.
There have been endless rumors and leaks about GTA VI over the past decade.
The mere confirmation that a trailer was coming (an announcement, if you will) was enough to generate global headlines in November, as desperate fans wanted to get any information they could about the new game.
The trailer shows people racing cars, partying on boats and a man pulling an alligator out of a pool, all to the Americana sound of Tom Petty’s ‘Love Is a Long Road’.
GTA 6:Gamer Jess, known online as “Rage Darling”, usually watches multiplayer RPGs, but said she is “keeping an eye” on upcoming games.
“If you’re not at least interested in GTA, you’re kind of a black sheep at the moment, because it’s so big,” he told BBC Newsbeat.
She said the series “has always been a man’s game,” but the new female perspective made her curious.
Although it’s been a long time since a mainline GTA game has had a female protagonist (the last game was on the original PlayStation), she believes it will have a , big impact on the industry as a whole.
She said, “I think it will show a lot of other game developers and AAA developers that having a woman front and centre is not a problem.”
GTA 6:more questions than answers
GTA 6:But while the trailer gives fans a lot to chew on, there are also some questions that remain unanswered.
Chief among them is which console the game will be released on, as this information is not revealed in the video.
However, Take-Two Interactive, which publishes the game, has announced that GTA VI will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X when it launches in 2025.
There is no further information regarding a release date or a possible PC version, although if it follows a similar pattern to previous games in the series, a PC release will follow.
GTA IV and V came to PC several months after their release on consoles.
Fans are also asking who provides the voice behind the main character Lucia, but the identity of the voice actor remains a mystery.
The new game was a long time coming and James Binns, president of gaming media company Network N, said this could be explained by the immense success of GTA V, which sold 190 million copies worldwide.
GTA 6:”It’s one of the greatest games on the planet and presently it’s been kept alive by GTA On the Web, a web-based game where you loot banks and make packs,” he said.
This implies it tops Xbox, PlayStation and PC playlists most weeks.
So this will be on an amazing scale. This will be the most costly game of all time.
Earlier, the gaming giant’s president, Sam Houser, had said that the release of the trailer in December was to coincide with its 25th anniversary.
Originally developed in 1997 by DMA Design in Dundee, later known as Rockstar North, GTA has been commercially and critically successful and controversial.
Even in the House of Lords, questions were asked about the violent content of the first game.
Rockstar has separately announced a deal with Netflix to include several of its titles in the streaming giant’s game offering.
GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, which are favorites of gamers, will be available to Netflix subscribers on mobile devices on December 14.
