Rockstar Games To Release GTA 6's First Trailer On 05 December 2023
After ten years of waiting, the Grand Theft Auto franchise will receive its successor, GTA 6, and Rockstar must satisfy its fanbase after spending a rumoured $2 billion on the game. According to a conversation between the person responsible for the data breach of Rockstar and ransomware threat actors, the former revealed that the game has been in the works since 2014 and that the developers have spent over $2 billion on it. Since the chat was from 2022, the numbers might have increased significantly.
With over $2 billion spent, fans have a high expectation of the game, especially with the comeback of Vice City. In 2022, over 90 videos of GTA 6, which featured GTA's first-ever female lead, Lucia, were leaked on the internet. With the help of those clips, fans can confirm the arrival of the dual protagonist in GTA 6, Jason and Lucia, who are inspired by the story of Bonnie and Clyde. One of the clips shows the player riding on the 'Vice City Metro', which goes hand-in-hand with the rumours.
With all the hype of GTA 6 on the internet, Rockstar expects a massive jump in their sales compared to GTA 5. As of November 2023, Rockstar Games has sold over 190 million units of the GTA 5 worldwide. Before revealing the trailer release date, Rockstar was working on load balancing of the website to handle heavy traffic. Moreover, the trailer to be released on 05 December 2023 will be 'Trailer 1', meaning Rockstar will go big with GTA 6's marketing. Multiple trailers also suggest fans must wait longer for the publisher to launch the game.
