On Twitter, the announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6 received more likes than the trailer for Avengers: Endgame. It was reassuring to learn that Grand Theft Auto 6 is, in fact, a legitimate game with an official release date. Rockstar has mainly avoided accepting the concept of a new Grand Theft Auto game for the past eight years. Even though GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 have occupied the developer’s time, their attention has switched to the item that fans have been clamouring for the most. When Rockstar made the announcement on February 4 that GTA 6 is in production, it was unexpected.
Rockstar didn’t go into much detail about what that entails, but they did remark that development is “well underway,” which suggests that it has been in the works for a considerable amount of time already. While Rockstar hasn’t revealed much about the game’s plot, gameplay, or setting yet, many are hopeful that they’ve done so as a sign that the game will be released sooner rather than later. A trailer for the game has been widely speculated to be released later this year, but Rockstar has made no mention of it. Although Rockstar’s statement was quite broad, it generated a lot of buzzes. Since Rockstar announced GTA 6 on Twitter, the post has earned over 560,000 likes.
To put that in perspective, Marvel Studios’ Twitter account now has 325k likes on its second and final full-length trailer for Avengers Endgame, the second highest-grossing movie of all time. Although the first trailer for Endgame has 597k likes, there is a potential that it may be surpassed by Rockstar’s tweet, which is still gaining traction in terms of traffic. Many people believe that GTA 6 will be released in 2024 or 2025, if not sooner. As a result, there will be a great deal of suspense between GTA 5 and 6. We should expect a lot more attention to fall on the game when the trailer and other official details are released.
A few phrases that confirmed something many people already thought generated this much enthusiasm, imagine what the first gameplay glimpse or even just a logo will do. As a result of Rockstar’s odd news dump, it’s definitely best not to anticipate seeing the first teaser at an event like E3. In a similar way, Rockstar is expected to release the trailer without much fuss, let it shine on its own. Despite some speculations to the contrary, Rockstar is thought to be working solely on GTA 6, and it will remain the company’s primary focus for the foreseeable future.
