Grand Theft Auto VI’s first trailer
Released: December 2023
Looking back, it seems clear to me that the first teaser for Rockstar’s next GTA game won’t be all about the characters or their motivations. Instead, expect a bit of GTA action sprinkled between shots showing off the game’s new city and Rockstar’s improved tech.
There is the possibility that, because of the big GTA leak of 2022, Rockstar might give us a bit more story or character moments than usual, as many GTA fans and gamers already know the basic details of the game.
But I also imagine Rockstar wants to pretend that the leak didn’t happen and assumes (correctly, I think) that the vast majority of people who are not criminally online—you know, most people— will watch this trailer without any knowledge of the leaks at all. So this is, for those folks at least, Rockstar’s big introduction to the sequel to one of the most successful video games ever made. No pressure.
