Rockstar’s much-awaited title, GTA 6, has just won its first-ever award even prior to being officially launched. Unsurprisingly, GTA 6 won the title of ‘Most Anticipated Game’ at the Game Awards 2024. The much awaited title had also won the Most Wanted Game award at the Golden Joystick Awards last month that was received by a Rockstar Games representative but that wasn’t the case this time around.
Notably, there were persistent rumours about Rockstar finally releasing a trailer 2 for the Grand Theft Auto sequel, but those leaks sadly did not come to fruition.
When is GTA 6 releasing?
The first trailer for GTA 6 had dropped just before Take-Two’s earnings call in November 2023 and the fans of this open world game have waited over a year now to see some footage before its eventual launch. Reports suggest that Rockstar is aiming at a Fall 2025 release date for the game.
The first teaser trailer for GTA 6 has garnered over 200 million views on YouTube and has also helped stock of Take-Two Interactive Software rise by over 30 percent since then.
However, with Take Two interactive’s history of delays between initial and follow up trailers, there has been growing frustration among the fans. There have also been leaks about Rockstar again pushing the rollout of GTA 6 to 2026.
GTA 6 characters:
The teaser trailer offered a glimpse into the familiar GTA 6 plot, featuring characters immersed in criminal endeavors such as robbery and heists, drawing the attention of law enforcement. However, the full storyline remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans eager for more details.
GTA 6 is expected to introduce a groundbreaking feature to the series, with two main characters, including the first-ever female protagonist, Lucia, portrayed as a convict embroiled in various criminal exploits alongside her rumored partner, Jason. Additional characters such as Stefani, a prison counselor, and a mysterious joker-like figure, promise to enrich the narrative experience.
Discussions on GTAForums provide further insights, revealing additional characters like Wyman, Dre, Sam, Kai, Billy, and Zach, who will join main protagonists Jason and Lucia. The narrative will center around Jason and Lucia as a couple, with the supporting cast enriching the game’s universe through friendships and new encounters.
Recent leaks have hinted at intriguing gameplay elements and new locations, such as an Abandoned Observatory, an Underwater Research Facility, and an Abandoned Research Outpost. These settings promise to add layers of mystery, potentially drawing inspiration from real-world locations like The Kennedy Space Centre. Speculation is rife about a Mount Chiliad Mystery-like underwater facility filled with hidden Easter Eggs, echoing the mysteries found in iconic films.
