Rockstar’s Psychedelic Teaser
Earlier in December, Rockstar posted a mysterious video on its Twitter account. The video featured the Rockstar logo followed by a slew of lurid, psychedelic colors. There are no games mentioned, but many gamers immediately believed that the video is hinting atGrand Theft Auto 6. This is not surprising because, according to leaks and rumors, the nextGTAgame will be taking place in a fictionalized version of Miami, and it will have heavy drug cartel themes. The leaks also claimed that the game will featureGrand Theft Auto’s first female protagonist.
While the leaks may have seemed a bit unbelievable at first, a massive leak essentially confirmed many of the major leaks. A host ofGTA 6files were leaked, including the female protagonist, who is a Latina named Lucia. The idea that a biggerGTA 6reveal may be on the way excited gamers, as it is one of the most anticipated games in the industry. However, it was soon revealed that the teaser has nothing to do with the upcomingGTAgame.
GTA: Online Receives Another Update
Although Rockstar is hard at work withGTA 6, it is stillreaping plenty of money fromGrand Theft Auto: Online. Consequently,GTA: Onlineis still receiving updates. The latest one is Los Santos Drug Wars, and the first chapter of the story update is available now. It follows a crew of nobodies as they endeavor to reach the top of the criminal underworld. Although the update seems interesting, it is a disappointment to fans who had been hoping to see more ofGTA 6.
Fans hoping to get official news on the upcomingGrand Theft Autogame would be better off practicing patience, as it might be a while before Rockstar releases a trailer or teaser. According to analysts,GTA 6would be released until 2024 or 2025, which means gamers have about two more years to wait. With a game as large asGTA 6, Rockstar will certainly not be vague when it unveils it. When it is time for gamers to get their first glimpse of it, it likely won’t be as anticlimactic as a snippet on Twitter.
It appears thatGTA 6will be taking the series in a new direction. In addition to its female protagonist, leaks also claim that its humor will no longer “punch down.” Time will tell how fans react to these changes, although it is apparent that they are greedy for an official reveal. Unfortunately, Rockstar’s last video wasn’t it.
