It was reported recently that the official announcement for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 – which was first confirmed to be in development in early 2022 – would be coming soon, with its first trailer set to be revealed in December. That has now been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games itself.
Taking recently to social media platform X, the company published a message in commemoration of its 25th anniversary next month, thanking players and fans for their support and the “opportunity to create games we are truly passionate about.”
The big news was confirmed at the end of the message, with co-founder and president Sam Houser confirming that the first trailer for Gand Theft Auto 6 will be unveiled in early December, roughly a month from now.
“We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto,” Houser wrote. “We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.”
Early December is, of course, when The Game Awards is scheduled, but it remains to be seen if the event will serve as the stage for Grand Theft Auto 6’s grand unveiling, or if Rockstar will choose to do it on its own terms.
It has been previously suggested that the game could be out before April 2025, based on revenue projections for the next fiscal year by Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive.
Without you, none of this would be possible, and we are so grateful to all of you for sharing this journey with us.
