Rockstar Games decided to publish the first trailer for GTA 6 ahead of schedule. This was due to an initial leak of the trailer online, after which the developers decided not to wait for the planned premiere and released the video for public viewing.

Apparently, the video showcases footage on the game engine. The trailer features scenes with cars, bikers, police, a nightclub, and landscapes of Vice City.

Moreover, at the end, a male and female character are shown committing a robbery. These are likely the main characters (Lucia and Jason), first revealed in last year's leak.

Rockstar Games President Sam Houser promises a massive evolution of the series and a new benchmark in story-driven, open-world games.

Regarding the setting, the main action of GTA 6 unfolds in the fictional state of Leonid, with Vice City being one of the in-game cities. Thus, gamers will have other regions to explore.

It still seems surreal to me. I was just a kid when GTA 5 came out, and now I'm 20 years old. Time flies.
