“We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you,” said Sam Houser of Rockstar Games in a post on X.

It is worth noting that the Grand Theft Auto 6’s release schedule still remains a mystery. That may happen later, but at least, fans will get an idea of the how game might look once the trailer is released.

There’s no denying that the game will most likely be one of the most sold games. The existing, Grand Theft Auto 5 a.k.a GTA 5, has sold more than 185 million copies, which makes it the second-best-selling video game of all time. Wonder who’s the first? It’s Minecraft, but it is available on mobile as well, so it has an edge there.

Rockstar for the last couple of years has been focusing on the upcoming GTA 6, as per reports. In fact, an ex-Rockstar Games employee, Jon Young, revealed that the company has worked on the game since 2015, that’s 2 years after the release of GTA 5.

For the unversed, GTA 6’s early gameplay footage was leaked sometime back. The footage showcased the in-game world, which had polarising opinions on social media. Soon after that, Rockstar cleared the air and said that there was a ‘network intrusion’ leading to the footage leak.

The company also confirmed that it will properly introduce the game when it’s ready. If we go by the rumors, this time around, GTA 6 will have two protagonists – a man named Jason and a woman named Lucia. If that’s believed then this will be the first GTA game with a female protagonist.
