GTA 6 trailer revelations

Here is everything that the GTA 6 trailer revealed to us:

1. Who leaked GTA 6 trailer?

Rockstar's cloak-and-dagger ethos suffered a hiccup. The trailer leaked prematurely, upsetting some high-ranking Rockstar honchos. This happened because of an X user @Gtatrailerleak who leaked a glimpse at 5:30 PM ET, taking the hype to skyrocketing heights. However, the tipster's account was taken down by X at 6 PM ET.

2. When will GTA 6 launch?

Mark your calendars for 2025 — GTA 6's slated arrival. Historically, Rockstar titles seldom face severe delays, but remember GTA V's minor shuffle? An "08-04" glimpse in the trailer sparks date speculation. Coincidence or a hidden clue? Time will tell.

3. What will GTA 6 be available on?

Following Red Dead Redemption 2's footsteps, GTA 6 plays hard to get with PC gamers. Brace for a delay, as initial release buzz focuses on Xbox X/S and PlayStation 5. Why the PC snub? Your guess is as good as ours. Many gamers were unimpressed.

4. Drones, ships, and social media: A modern GTA cocktail

Drones take flight, container ships cruise the waters, and social media infiltrates gameplay. Expect GTA 6 to reflect modern social networking culture.

5. Meet Lucia: Women breaking stereotypes in gaming

A refreshing twist emerges — GTA 6 introduces Lucia, a female lead. Her aura? Not your typical GTA machismo. Fans expect a Bonnie and Clyde vibe, minus the typical stereotypes.

6. Romance, robbery, and betrayal await

Love blooms amidst the chaos. The trailer hints at a tantalising love story amid heists. But can this partner be trusted? Or does betrayal loom? Sounds like a classic GTA storyline!

7. Grand Theft Auto VI: What's in a name?

Say hello to Grand Theft Auto VI, without any fancy subtitle. No "Vice City 2" in sight, as expected after a decade-long wait. Classic Rockstar, right?

8. Vice City reveals its swamps and 'gators

Welcome to Vice City's lush, Everglades-inspired locales. Brace for swampy missions and gator encounters. The trailer showcases these reptilian adversaries in full force.

9. Mud racing madness

Monster trucks and quad bikes plunge into mud-soaked mayhem. Classic GTA races get a wild makeover, promising adrenaline-pumping off-road action.

The 90-second trailer packs a wallop, teasing an epic yet enigmatic gaming experience. Brace yourselves — GTA 6 might rewrite the gaming rulebook.
