Developer Rockstar Games introduced closing month that the first trailer for the following Grand Theft Auto might arrive in early December. As promised, the 1-minute and 31-2d clip has dropped, showing that rumors of Bonnie and Clyde-style protagonists known as Lucia and (apparently) Jason had been accurate.

Visually, GTA VI appears stunning. As with the 2002 recreation of the same name, it is set within the Miami-inspired Vice City, although this one takes vicinity all through present day instances in preference to that 1986-set conventional.

A lot of the trailer consists of TikTok/Instagram-style social media posts, that can trace at a gameplay mechanic that makes up a part of the sport.
