Grand Theft Auto VI

Since Rockstar announced the release of the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, everyone has been jotting down an early Christmas wishlist of what they want to see in the next GTA, and I’m no different. But what I really want is that feeling I had when I was a kid of possessing something naughty. I want public outcry, protests, and warnings over the offensiveness of the material. I want to pick up my controller and think, “Wow, maybe Rockstar really has gone too far this time.” In a word, I want controversy.

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI wasn't scheduled to arrive until tomorrow morning, but it has leaked over twelve hours early. Time to take a look! The biggest news from the trailer is the confirmation that the game will launch in 2025 rather than next year. The minute-and-a-half trailer goes by quick, but it provides a lot of incredible-looking in-game footage. That includes a look at what appears to be Grand Theft Auto's first female protagonist and her Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship with her boyfriend-slash-partner in crime. The trailer also confirms a return to the Miami-inspired Vice City as a setting, but this time seemingly in modern day rather than the '80s.
