GTA VI Announcement Appears Imminent, Bloomberg Reports. The announcement of Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA VI, is seemingly closer than ever, with reports from Bloomberg indicating that it is expected to take place this week in conjunction with the forthcoming financial results presentation by Take-Two.
Take-Two is the company responsible for game distribution and is the proprietor of Rockstar, the game’s developer. According to these reports, this announcement will culminate with the release of a trailer in just a few weeks. Are we on the verge of witnessing the unveiling of Grand Theft Auto VI?
According to Bloomberg, the Long-Awaited GTA VI Announcement and a Trailer Will Arrive Next Month
For several months now, the rumor mill has been abuzz with anticipation of the next Grand Theft Auto VI. The excitement reached a crescendo last September when a massive data leak occurred, revealing a detailed PDF document with over 60 pages containing all available information about GTA VI up to that point.
However, the latest development is even more substantial. A reputable and major news outlet like Bloomberg claims to have direct information from company employees. According to Bloomberg, Rockstar, the developer of the GTA series, is set to announce the game later this week and celebrate Rockstar’s imminent 25th anniversary with the official release of a game trailer. This news has sent shockwaves through the gaming world, as GTA VI (or whatever the new title of the series may be) is undeniably one of the most highly anticipated game launches in history.
Does a Trailer This Month Indicate a 2025 Release?
As mentioned earlier, Rockstar is a company that values patience over haste, and it’s widely known that they have been developing this upcoming game for years. However, an official announcement and even the release of a trailer do not necessarily mean the game will be released anytime soon.
Taking Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) as a reference point, its first trailer was released on November 2, 2011, while the game didn’t hit the market until September 17, 2013, nearly two years later. History may repeat itself, as Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent company, suggests that the release might occur between 2024 and 2025.
It’s worth considering that Grand Theft Auto V achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the second-best-selling game in history, second only to Minecraft. Additionally, it wasn’t released on PC until two years after its initial launch, which could be a significant development for PC gamers and console sales.
