GTA VI: After a decade of waiting, we're getting a new GTA

After a low-quality copy of the trailer circulated online, developer Rockstar released the video 15 hours before the official release.

The 90-second teaser confirmed that the game will be set in the Miami-inspired Vice City. Firstč after the nineties comes the main protagonist Lucia.

But the wait is not over yet, as the game is not expected to be released until 2025.

The latest game in the series will be the sequel to the 2013 hit GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time behind Minecraft.

There have been seemingly endless rumors and leaks about GTA VI over the past decade.

The mere confirmation that a trailer was coming was enough to trigger a flurry of headlines in November as desperate fans searched for any information about the new game.

The trailer features people racing cars, partying on boats and a man pulling an alligator out of a swimming pool, all to the tune of Tom Petty's American Love is a Long Road.

"Gamer" Jess, known online as "Rage Darling", is usually known for her RPGs for more than a year. players, but she said she was "keeping an eye on" the upcoming game.

"If you're not at all interested in GTA, you're a black sheep right now. That's such a big deal,” she told BBC Newsbeat.

She added that the series had "always been a man's game", but the new female perspective impressed her.

Although it has been a long time since the protagonist - the last one was on the original PlayStation console - he believes that the impact on the wider industry will be great.

"I think this will show a lot of other game developers and AAA developers that a woman at the center is not a problem,” she said.

More questions as answers

While the trailer gives fans plenty to digest, some questions remain to be answered.

The main question among them is which consoles the game will be released on, as this information was not revealed in the video.

A while ago, Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of the game, announced that GTA VI will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X in 2025.

There is no new information yet on a release date or a possible PC version - if they follow the pattern of previous games in the series, a PC release will follow.

GTA IV and V came out on PC a few months after the console release.

Fans are also wondering who voiced the main character, Lucia, but the identity of the voice actor remains a mystery.

It took a long time for a new game to arrive and James Binns, president of gaming media company Network N, said that this could be explained by the sheer success of GTA V, which sold 190 million copies worldwide.

"It's one of the biggest games in the world and now GTA is keeping it alive Online, online game in which you rob banks and build gangs," he said. It now tops the gaming charts for Xbox, PlayStation and PC most weeks.

"For GTA 6 they spent more like a billion dollars, so it's going to be epic in scale. It will be the most expensive game ever made.”
