10 Years After GTA 5 Release, Rockstar Games Confirms GTA 6 Trailer For December 2023

More than a decade after the release of GTA 5 and 12 years after its announcement, the next installment of GTA is ready for the masses to see. Earlier today, Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, took to social media to share a statement ahead of the studio's 25th anniversary. Wrapping up the statement, Houser dropped a concrete announcement window for GTA 6, stating that the reveal trailer is slated for December 2023.

This comes after a trustworthy report on Rockstar's next moves came to light earlier today (November 8, 2023). While an exact release date for the trailer isn't known, speculation suggests December 10 is a likely candidate for the trailer to release. Considering GTA 5's announcement crashed the Rockstar Games website back in 2011, the situation could be worse this time around considering the exponential growth of the franchise over the last decade.

Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, took to social media to announce the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. The complete statement from the Rockstar Newswire reads: 

"Next month marks the 25th anniversary of Rockstar Games. Thanks to the incredible support of our players worldwide, we have had the opportunity to create games we are truly passionate about — without you, none of this would be possible, and we are so grateful to all of you for sharing this journey with us."

Interestingly, the name of the next installment hasn't been confirmed, simply being referred to as "the next Grand Theft Auto." :

"In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution. 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.

- Thank you, Sam Houser"

As of now, the exact anniversary of Rockstar Games isn't known. However, going by when Rockstar celebrated its 20th anniversary, a December 10 release date for the trailer is expected. As of now, no other information is confirmed. Following the early gameplay footage leak in 2022, concerns about GTA 6's polish and fidelity were raised. However, the developer has reiterated that the leaked footage was extremely early gameplay and wasn't representative of what's in the pipeline. After ten years of waiting it seems that fans will finally get to see what the next iteration of gaming's biggest franchise has to offer.
