GTA VI :- The mammoth of the gaming industry, “Rockstar,” has given the world some of the best games one can ask for. Their most famous franchises like Grand Theft Auto (GTA), Red Dead, Bully, Max Payne, etc., are nothing but a delight to video game lovers. It’s safe to say that Rockstar Games has revolutionized the open-world genre. With respect to that, here we are with the new and absolutely breathtaking, most-awaited game of the decade, GTA VI, has officially been announced by Rockstar Games, and here is its trailer.
GTA VI Trailer
The very first glance at the trailer gives us super high expectations for the game as the graphics and visual representation of each and every aspect of the game are way better than what we could have expected.
In this installment of the franchise, we meet the first-ever female protagonist of the series named Lucia. It seems that she starts off in prison with the phrase “Bad luck, I guess!”
The trailer gives us a glimpse of the good old Vice City vibes. Well, it was expected as per the leaks and community discussions that it will be there, though the trailer confirms it.
Not only that, what’s new here is, we get to see a lot of crime scenes happening in the city, giving it a real-life touch as per the theme of the series intends to do.
Introducing, we get to see live streaming and TikTok here too. It’s really exciting to see how social media is being presented in the game.
The background music “Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty here indicates a lot of vehicle-based crimes as per the song, and yes, it’s GTA. What else do you expect?
But what I am absolutely thrilled to witness is the introduction of wildlife to this game at the next level. Since it’s Florida, we get to see alligators in action too. GTA V had a lot of animals, but the interactivity was far too limited. All we got was Chop (Franklin’s dog). Let’s see what else we get here.
It appears that Lucia is not alone here, as by the end of the trailer, we get to see her partner, who seems to be her lover. They are expected to be a duo of action and adventure. As she says, “The only way we’re gonna get through this is by sticking together and being a team.”
This game is set to release by 2025 as per the trailer. The hype is real, amigos. GTA V was launched in 2013 and ever since then, it’s still considered as the benchmark for every other gaming aspect, whether it can be the story, character depth, interactivity, graphics, level design, physics in depth, and many more. With respect to that, this game will be observed as an elevation to the current gaming industry and will be a real challenge for the developers to meet those expectations.
