The National Gaming Expo revealed the lineup on Instagram, and that's been shared to the Red Dead Redemption subreddit alongside the disappointed caption, "Was this the announcement Rob was so excited for?" This would also make sense given that Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark also knew abo🌃ut the news in question before, and he's part of the event.

from

"We're cooked, chat," one fꦰan. Some people are huffing copium though, , "It would be great if they waited for this convention to reveal there’s going to be SOME kind of update, remastering, DLC, a next chapter etc."

To be fair, Wiethoff did later walk back his comment and try to calm everyone down, saying he possibly misle📖d us and reiterating that "I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games."

You'll be able to meet the actors who play the most iconic characters across the two games, and can see the full list . No shade to the actors, they all do an amazing job and this will be fun for whoever is going to the expo, but for those of us hoping for a Red Dead Redemption remake or a current-gen update for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2, we're out of luck.

I was quietlyꩵ holding my breath for a Red Dead Online update, but I shouldn't have. I know I shouldn't have and I did it anyway, so I've only got myself to blame for that disappointment. "On🍰ce again, Red Dead Redemption fans acting very stupid," someone . I'm going to go and hang my head in shame.

In the meantime, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best open-world games you can play right now to scratch that Red Dead Redemption or GTA itch.

When he's not giving his verdict on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the asses found in GTA 6, GTA 5 star Ned Luke is always interacting with fans of the now over-a-decade-old game, revealing bits from his time working with Rockstar. The fan-made GTA 6 Countdown Twitter account posted a screenshot from oneꦦ of GTA 5's earlier missions in which Michael practises yoga poses with his wife and the yoga instructor she's cheating on him with, saying: "This is hands down the worst mission in GTA 5."

Rather than take offense at one of𓆏 his characterꦓ's defining moments, Ned Luke responded in kind by saying the mission was "hands down the worst to shoot." He adds: "Sweated my ass off for eight hours." And naturally the fanbase was pleased to hear that – despite being involved in the game – Michael's actor also didn't like this derided mission.

Frankly, I love when Rockstar does silly stuff like this in its games, ಞdo you need a yoga mission that makes the player have to awkwardly hold the controller? Absolutely not. But it is a fun little bit of detail that Rockstar loves to put in its games. God forbid we take time off from robbing banks and shooting people to practise a little mindfulness.

GTA 5 modder who spent 10 years and most of his 10,000-hour playtime making Los Santos photo realistic says "modding is going to be bigger than ever once GTA 6 eventually drops on PC."

Previously, the stars seemed to be aligning for some sort of Red Dead Redemption-related announcement. Not only did Wiethoff say that "cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game" during his stream, but asked if he knew "what the Red Dead news is Rob mentioned," Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark said "yes," seemingly confirming it reꦿally is so🦋mething to do with the series.

Now though, in a on his YouTube channel (highlighted by @jonbranham_ on Twitter), Wiethoff says that♑ while "I do have something I'm really excited about, I truly am, and I think you will be too," he now realises that he "possibly misled some people when I announced that I have something to announce that I can't talk about right now.

"Just please recognize – and I know that you know this, but let me remind you, I guess – I do not make ꦦannouncementꦛs for Rockstar Games. We all know that, I'm just reminding you I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games makes announcements for Rockstar Games, and they don't use me to do that," he laughs. "So please know that, and again I still think that a lot of you are going to be really excited about this news, absolutely."

Wiethoff says he still "can't share it with you yet, and I'm so sorry" about that, but assuming his original teaser still holds up, we should be finding out whatever it is in the next few days. Again, Clark's previous comment does indicate that there's something related to Red Dead going on, but anyone hoping for something like a remake, port, or new game should probably temper th🐭eir expectations at this point.

15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA Online is a behemoth now with Rockstar making enough cash from 10-year-olds buying Shark Cards that the studio probably didn't even need to make GTA 6. However, it took until GTA 5 for Rockstar to really nail down the online game, with GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption being pretty s🐼imple in comparison.

But – who worked at Rockstar from the Space Station Silicon Valley days in ♎1998 until the secret best GT♛A game, Chinatown Wars in 2009 – both Rockstar "North and NY had wanted to make this happen since the GTA 3 days."

"For GTA3, I prototyped a simple deathmatch. Players could kill each other, drag each other from cars, and respawn aro﷽und the city," he says, adding, "It was promising, but we ran out of time. We needed lobbies, scripts working over [the🧸] network etc. We decided to cut the effort."

Vermeij said that the studio tꦯried again the year following with GTA Vice City, saying that Rockstar hired network coders for the role, but it was cut once again due to deadlines.

But for the final PS2-era game, San Andreas, Vermeij says, "we didn't even try… not worth the effort." And then the Xbox 360 era was the one where Rockstar nailed it, with GTA 4 having an online mode in the same vein as the proposed ones for the PS2 games. Vermeij gives props to the "4 programmers and several level designers" who worked "full-time" to make it work.

Speaking of former Rockstar devs, Leslie Benzies' new game 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mindseye isn't doing so hot.

Late last week, John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff broke the internet while streaming Red Dead Redemption as he teased that he's "got such exciting news" he can't currently share. Whatever it is, he suggested we sho൲uld probably find out soon: "By the end of this week, hopefully sooner... 🎶definitely before Friday."

How mysterious. Obviously, everyone immediately began speculating that it could be something Red Dead Redemption-related, whether that could possibly be a next-gen update for RDR2, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 port, or something else entirely. Curiously, he also mentioned that he "won't be the only one sharing" the news, and now, Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan actor, Roger Cla෴rk, claims he's also 𝐆in the know.

Ask🌄ed on Twitter if he knows "what the Red Dead news is Rob mentioned," Clark simply says "yes," sharing a GIF of a dog giving a smug smile.

Although he's not revealed exactly what the news is, it looks like he might have given something away by the fact that he was specifically asked about some "Red Dead news," and still respond🌺ed with a metaphorical thumbs up. Even though fans quickly made the assumption, Wiethoff never actဣually said out loud that his announcement would be related to the series, so it appears that Clark may have inadvertently confirmed that.

It really feels like the pair are taking notes from the Persona 4 cast, of which three actors (from the original game and the Golden re-release) ended up speaking publicly about not returning to the JRPG's remake… before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Persona 4 Revival was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actually announced. Needless to say, the remake's reveal wasn't ex🐈actly a shock when it was finally shown, but it was very good news nonetheless.

Now, it's Red 🐷Dead Redemption fans' time to wait and see what the two actors are teasing. If Wietho꧂ff's original statement holds up, we'll hopefully find out by the end of the week.

15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse.

"I think it's already starting to happen," Clark tells . "What's also starting to happen is that classꦕic games, games that did well, and games that still are able to hold on to their fandom are getting remastered now more than ever before. So, I don't know, the data isn't going anywhere, but the technology to refine its graphics is only just going to keep getting better and better."

We've seen plenty of Rockstar games get remasters or ports to modern consoles, and I'm not even talking about GTA 5. There was the GTA Trilogy remaster (that had a bunch of bugs in it) and the PC port of Red Dead Redemption, which has finally got John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff playing the game some 15 years after it first released.

"I don't think a remake of [Red Dead Redemption 2] is something that we can write off for the future, or a remaster," Clark adds. "We've already started tℱo see it for GTA 5 and the original Red Dead Redemption. So, I think possibly it'll remain in the limelight with modern versions of the same game, because the stories are what keeps the players coming back."

Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't even have a current-gen update and it still looks amazing, so maybe we'll at least get that♏ patch sometime in the future. If Rockstar goes big enough, a PS5 🍃and Xbox Series X-level modernization could very well pass for a remaster.

In the meantime, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule so you can keep up with everything that's going on over the weekend.

"We did performance capture for this game too, but during moments like thisꦅ, w🤪hen you're riding with someone, riding and talking, this was actually recorded in a sound booth," Wiethoff explains.

Now, I know Weithoff is the actor for John, but it's uncanny how much he just naturally sounds like him. I always assumed he was putting on a voice when he was actually working on John, but now I think that's just how he talk🎀s.

"What I have seen on here, which is so funny, is that John is screaming at people, for no reason sometimes [...] I remember them saying, 'You have to say your liꦿnes in a way that they would definitely be heard even if you are riding at a full gallop next to a freight train in a thunderstorm.' So just really scream them out loud because you definitely want the other person to hear you."

As an open world game with dynamic weather and 𓆏day and night cycles, there really could be times when that exact scenario was happening, so John would need to be shouting to be heard. But it doesn't make much sense for him to be screaming when you're trotting next to someone on a nice sunny day.

"But that was before [Rockstar] had the technology the🌠y have now, where if you're within a certain distance, the game knows it somehow and it will use the quieter version," Wiethoff says. "So in the second game we recorded everything twic🔥e, in this game we just did it once.

from

As well as regaling us with tales of how the game was ma♔de, it turns out Weitoff's a real-li𓂃fe cowboy, because he shoots a hat out of the air without dead eye in the tutorial level for the game's iconic mechanic.

"Come on, throw it!" he shouts just before a character tosses their hat in the air. Then, without using dead eye like he's supposed to, he simply aims up and shoots the thing. "Oh ho hooooo, I thought I missed it," he shouts e🐼xcitedly. Maybe the loudness in the first game isn't actually due to technical reasons after all.

After that trip down memory lane, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best retro games of all time.

Echoing Fallout creator Tim Cain's recent YouTube video about hefty, 1꧃00-hour games, Benzies tells in a new interview that🌼 "I don't think you can have filler conte🌜nt in games."

"I think people want the meat, and they want the potatoes," Benzies continues to say about MindsEye, which so far sounds like 澳洲幸运5🍷开ꦇ奖号码历史查询:a more linear, action-oriented Cyberpunk 2077. "W🍸e've tried to make as much meat as we can, if that m༺akes sense."

The game will take "20ish" hours to beat, whic꧂h Benzies concludes is a "good length for a game."

"What you also find through data," he says, "is that [with] big games, people don't play them all. The majority of people – 60% or 70% of people – don't ac🌌tually pl꧟ay games to the end."

"So when you're making something, I would prefer [...] [that] you had the whole experience from start to finish, and not create ❀this 200-hour game," Benzies explains. "Create something that is finishable, but have some side things that will fill out the universe."

At the moment, MindsEye is set to release on June 10 at $60. "On price," adds Benzies, "the world's in a funny place. People are worried about the price of eggs. So value for money, I think people appreciate that when ♏times are d🔯ifficult."

Exec on former GTA 5 lead's new open-world game MindsEye says negative reactions have come from a "financed" and "concerted effort to trash the game and the studio"

A GTA fan has already uploaded 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:every single frame of the new trailer, and from studying each frame a (spotted by ) realised that Rockst𓂃ar made a single mistake and showed that light from the gunshot is lighting up Jason's arm before the actual shot leavesꦑ the gun.

I know, this is a massive deal, and the comments on the thread agree, with users saying These peo꧙ple are the most rational ones in the comments, given the severity of🌟 this situation.

Obviously, mysel♏꧋f and the fans on Reddit are (hopefully) exaggerating for a joke, but it does speak to how massive Rockstar's games are, that the single most minor mistake was able to be picked up on because fans are so eager to see every detail in this game.

ไIt's a testament to the studio's reputation for being massive perfectionists that something like this is even notable enough to point out. Now that someone has pointed it out, it will no doubt be fixed in the full game, so don't cancel t༺hat pre-order just yet.

Grand Theft Auto 6 looks beautiful, but I'm convinced Jason and Lucia's love story will be the real secret sauce that makes it worth the 13-year wait

It's pretty much a shot-for-shot rema🧜ke of the trailer but in GTA: San Andrea﷽s' art style. My only complaint is that Jason isn't shirtless right at the start, he's wearing a vest. Boo. Boo I say.

The animations also aren't spot on, but they weren't back in the day, either. I remember CJ's fingers bei♑ng permanently glued together and still thinking San Andreas was the peak of graphical realism at the time.

The best thing about this new fan-made demake is how well it showcases just how far graphics have come sinc﷽e 2004. Yep, San Andreas is 21, old enough to buy a beer now – do you feel old?

When you compare the two trailers side-by-side, it's incredible to see just how much movement there is in modern console games. Hair swishes around as people turn, booze sloshes around in bottles an🌳d glasses, and characters can actually touch each other without looking like they're about to clip through each other's models.

Unfortunately, GTA 6 is still a year away, because 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a delay was announced earlier this month. No🦩w, what is maybe the most-anticipated game of all time is releasing May 26, 2026, instead of sometim♑e later this year.

While you wait, check out all the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:video game release dates so you know what to play between now and next year.

While we were all too focused on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6, with a lot of focus being on what the eventual price will be (or, if you're GTA 5's Micheal voice actor – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the in-game buttcheeks), with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fans worried it could cost $100, Rockstar has casually thrown out a little price rise elsewhere. noticed that both 🎀Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 have been bumped up in price on Xbox – with the backwards compatible version of the first game going up to £29.99 and the sequel now being £59.99; £5 more than they were last month.

Then sister site noticed the same thing had happened over on PlayStation, with the PS4 versions of both games getting an increase. However, while Red Dead 2 got the same £5 bump as on Xbox, the PS4 port of the original Red Dead Redemption got bumped up by £10, meaning the 2023 port (that had very little in the way of improvements) of the 2010 game will now run you £49.99.

Looking at the price charting website ♉it looks like Rockstar is being very selective about which regions get this price rise. So far, we've seen the bump in the UK, Australia, and Brazil (although only for Red Dead 2 for the latter), while the US, Japan, and most of Europe are unaffected by the change. Funnily enough, the Steam and Nintendo Switch editions of the first game are also untouched in most regions (with Brazil getting a price rise on Switch back in March).

It's unclear whether Rockstar plans to extend this price rise across all regions eventually, but for now, the US is unaffected by these changes.

Both Red Dead Redemption games are pretty high up on our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Rockstar games list. But you should maybe wait for a sale now.

When faced with the shot in the trailer of our new protagonist, Lucia, walking away from the camera in a dress, L𓆉uke abruptly stops. "Okay! Hol𒁃d it right there! This is what I'm talking about" before lifting up his laptop with the image of Lucia's backside planted firmly on it. He then sits in silence while we are faced with the implications of posteriors in GTA 6.

Then, as if in awe of the virtual cheeks, he stumbles over his words a few times before simply saying, "okay, I know everybody loves that big ass" adding, "but, that's proportionate, see? That's wh🐬at you like, that proportionate one" giving the stamp of approval to Lucia's buns. He then goes, "but when you get into the strip club…" before getting distracted by a new character in the trailer.

In Luke's previous assessment of asses, he called for some less giant cabooses (cabeese?), saying "I gotta talk with these guys, we gotta get some not-huge asses in there," so clearꦕly this latest trailer has gotten the stamp of approval.

Despite his apparent doctorate in derrière, Luke's stream was not fully dedicated to the tush of Vice City. Earlier in the trailer, he voiced his displeasure with Jason looking ripped and shirtless, in his introduction (presumably compared to the first look at Michael being less attractive by comparison). Luke s꧙aid, "Are you kidding me with this guy? This is how you get introduced!" adding, "Shirtless! Look at this fucker, are you kidding me?" before going into a rant a🀅bout how Jason is almost too hot... no comment about his hindquarters though.

And just like the rest of us, Luke was very positive about the showing: "Needless to say, I'm very impressed with that trailer. I think it's an awesome trailer." Before add♒ing, "I do🍸n't think there's any question that this will be the biggest game."

From jiggle physics to individually modeled blades of grass, this game dev proves how GTA 6 is taking Red Dead Redemption 2's visuals to the next level.

When GTA 6 was properly unveiled last year, Rockstar Games had only said it would come out sometime in the latter half of 2025 – a time frame Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick held onto firmly in the months since. But the developer recently pushed its highly♛-antiꦏcipated blockbuster out of this year, to May 26, 2026.

Speaking to , Zelnick said the "most important thing to do is to support your t🐷eams in their search for perfection," even though the "🌟delays pain me - how could they not?"

Even more notably, though, when asked about how confident he is in GTA 6's new launch, Zelnick simply pointed to the fact that Rockstar Games rarely delays something after they att▨ach a solid date to it. "I think historically when we set a specific date, generally speaking, we've been very good about reaching it," he said.

Looking😼 back, he's not wrong either. Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed from fall 2017 to spring 2018 to, finally, October 2018 where it actually strolled into release. The same thing happened with GTA 5, too. After missing its origina💛l launch window of early 2013, the evergreen open world was pushed to that same September and made it onto store shelves as planned.

So, yeah, historical precedent is on the studio's side. The first delay is almost a formality at this point. Plus, there's no reason to think Rockstar Games would anno🎀unce a date it's not confident it can meet – it would be like setting a doomsday countdown.

Take-Two's CEO says GTA 5 is the "standard-bearer for our industry," but even he found the GTA 6 hype "pretty astonishing"

As part of its , publisher Take-Two confirmed that GTA 5 has sold-in 215 million units, up from 210 in the last quarterly report. That'll include some physical stock being 🅷held by retailers that hasn't yet been sold through to consumers, but that's a pretty negligible cave༒at, especially considering that Take-Two reported another 5 million copies of GTA 5 sold every single quarter this year.

Red Dead Redemptionꦇ 2 is also selling by the wagonload, with 4 million copies sold in the past three months. Citing venerable industry analyst group Circana, Take-Two says RDR2 is the "best-selling ti𝔍tle of the past 7 years in the US based on dollar sales."

That sales record might actually rankle long-time fans of the game, since Red Dead 🥀Online has effectively been abandon𓆏ed by Rockstarဣ despite all this success, and its lack of updates continues to be a point of contention in t👍he community.

There's no such shortage of content for GTA Online, however. During yesterday's investor Q&A, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick called GTA 5 the "standard-bearer for our ♏industry," and honestly, it's tough to argue against that point. No wonder the everyone expects GTA 6's sales success to be dow⛄nright astronomical.

Here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like GTA you need to play while waiting for GTA 6.

During t🍒he company's latest earnings call, the CEO of Take-Two (Rockstar Games' parent company) talks about GTA and what it means for the industry, saying, "Grand Theft Auto 5 has been the standard bearer, not just for our company, but for the industry. Since it was launched, it's not only survived through three💖 console generations, it's thrived, and here it is this many years later, and still the number one title."

However, even with GTA 5's overwhelming success and the✃ GTA fever in the industry over the last few years, the response to the trailer still took Zelnick by surprise.

"Obviously, 475 million trailer views in 24 hours tells you something. It's not just that, 'Wow, that was a great trailer.' It tells you something more than tha༒t. And we, of course, do market research around here, and the market research that we've done is pretty astonishing."

Despite the 💝fact that GTA 6 is obviously going to be a massive release when it comes to sales, Zelnick says, "we're not in the business of claiming🎶 success until it happens."

Of course, the other side of this is that GTA fans are afraid that the game will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cost up to $100, aꦅnd you have to wonder if that has factored into that "pretty astonishing" market research. Undoubtedly a game that is this hyped up will have a large number who will eat the cost, but a higher price point could end up biting Rockstar.

GTA 6 fans think a blurry screenshot proves the game will be the first in the series to feature children: "That's gotta be a kid FR."

Asked about the difference between the growing trend for $80 games and Mafia's d🌄iscounted tag, Zelnick said that Take-Two has "always had variable pricing," but that it makes pricing decisions based on a "rubric [...] of delivering way more val▨ue to consumers than we charge."

"We aim to make the best entertainment on Earth and bring that to all consumers, wherever they are, and we need to deliver value in so doing," he continued. In the case of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mafia: The Old Country specifically, he says "we think it's extraordinary. It looks amazing, and we want to get it into as many hands a🏅s we possibly♓ can."

"Our view♕ is that if you create a huge hit, and everyone wants it and everyone buys it, the revenue is going to take care of itself."

It's an interesting line around Mafia, which developer Hangar 13 reveale♍d last wee🧔k to be a linear experience - a significant departure from the series' open💖-world roots. However, that change of scope is reflected in the price – $50 for a full-fledged AAA release from a major publisher is certainly a drop from the $60+ figures we've started to see with increasing regularity over the past few years.

Unfortunately, if Take-Two, which owns 2K and Rockstar Games, is going to be in the habit of pricing games according to scope, it might mean that GTA 6 players do take a bigger hit than normal to their wallets. Trailer 2, which dropped earlier this month, offered a dizzying array of new details, including several astonishingly intricate graphics and animation offe🌄rings. It's clear Rockstar isn't aiming f🏅or a cheap experience.

Behold, all 5,000-plus frames of GTA 6's latest trailer, which have been uploaded online as detectives work to uncover all of Rockstar's secrets.

"A kid spotted in #GTAVI screenshot," update account TheGTAVerse says on Twitter, adding a wide-eyed emoji for punctuation. In the accompanying screenshot that's so zoomed-in I can't even𒁏 really imagine what inspired anyone to make it, there are three blobs suggesting the shape of human beings: two seem to be older people with gray hair, and the third appears relatively smaller with short brown hair. The latter is GTA 6's alleged child pedestrian.

Since the origi༺nal image showcases Leonida's smoggy urban sprawl from about 1,000 feet away, I find it hard to believe that the magnified, vague ball of dust that's "proof" of childhood teach us ꦡanything about GTA 6 outside of the fact that, yes, it will be inhabited by people. But many others disagree. At the moment, TheGTAVerse's post has nearly 30,000 likes.

"That's gotta be a kid fr," says n🐷ews account GTA6Plus in that's already earned almost 2,000 likes on ♓its own.

"Me when I see a kid on the pc version," says , which includꦕes a clip from the 1980s cult horror film Maniac, when a guy's head explodes like a beached whale.

This kind of, let's say, antisocial approach to children is exactly why the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 devs decided to exclude kids from their gam💎e. That alone makes me believe GTA 6 won't be any different from the rest of its fran🦩chise. But, after this many years, who knows what Rockstar has▨ in store?

GTA 6 fan theories are now focusing on the smallest details, from a potential Manhunt tattoo to a background film made by GTA 5's Michael.

You might remember the G🐼TA 5 mission that sees co-star Michael De Santa fulfil his life-long dream of producing a movie, Meltdown, which you can then watch in one of the in-game theat🅰res. Well, eagle-eyed Redditor Merstty zoomed all the way into an animated image from and somehow spotted the smallest, blurriest version of a Meltdown DVD displayed on a shelf.

from

"I wonder if he'll get mentioned duri💯ng the story," one . "By the time the game comes out Michael will have been a producer for 13 years, I🥀 think."

Others reckon GTA 6 might find some slyer ways to include Michael. Maybe you'll find posters of his new movies around. Maybe you'll randomly hear him being interviewed on the radio. I can already hear you asking over the interwebs, 'isn't Michael kind of dead in some people's saves, thoug🌄h?'

You see, GTA Online strongly implies that the 'canon' ending to the game is Ending C, so GTA 5's main trio should still be alive by the time♔ GTA 6 rolls around, as long as they didn't get wrappe⛦d up in another deadly heist in the meantime.

The other fan theory revolves around Rockstar's Manhunt, the graphically violent stealth series about snuff films. Twitterer GTAVoclock clocked that one character called Cal appears to have Manhunt's Piggsy, a "cannibalistic serial killer who wears the 'rotting head of a one-eyed pig as a mask,'" tattooed ont🐻o his knee.

Cal's official bio explains that he's deep into online rabbit holes and conspiracy theories, so while it's unlikely that Piggsy himself will show up, there might be some clues littered around connecting Manhunt to GTA. The upcoming game's second trailer has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:more concretely tied Red𒀰 Dead and GTA together, already, so anything's possible here.

Rockstar says GTA 6 trailer 2 was "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," and I'm wondering where the gameplay was

Vermeij worked at DMA Design-turned-Rockstar North from 1995 until 2009; during that time he worked on the likes of💝 Space Station Silicon Valley, Manhunt, and some of those GTA games that people seem t🍬o like. When asked by a fan how he feels about the rumours of the port of what was one of the last games he worked on at Rockstar, he was keen to see it.

"I hadn't heard those rumours. I think GTA 4 should be remastered. It's a great game and there have been a number of successful remaste🦩rs recently," he responds.

Rockstar is one of the companies which hasn't really gone to the remaster well all that much, with the initially disastrous Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition being the only real attempt. However, when talking about a GTA 4 remaster in the past, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Vermeij mentioned th🦹e quality of the trilogy, 𓆏saying: "It would be better if Rockstꦿar did quality remasters of their classic games."

The company typically goes for straight rereleases over updated games, as seen with the previous LA Noire and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption ports (the latter of which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:did get a 60fps patch, to be fair). So if and when a GTA 4 re-release does come to pass, I'd pﷺut my money on it being a port with 💃minimal improvements over a full remaster situation.

Hopefully it does happen, and we get to go bowling with our cousin again to𒅌 pass the time until GTA 6 releases next May.

An ex Rockstar dev has suggested that GTA 6 production really started in 2018 despite the 12-year wait.

In a post on , Tez said, "Someone at Rockstar hinted at the IV port, and by now it should've gone up a year in development. We may end up seeing it drop later this year." Considering that Tez uses the word "port" as opposed to remaster, it's probably safe to assume anything that comes out will be a conversion like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2023's Red Dead Redemption releases on Nintendo Switch and PS4 (and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:eventually, PC in 2024).

Considering GTA 4 is currently and unavailable on modern consoles outside of Xbox backwards compatibility, it would be great to have a new way to play a GTA ga💝me that seems way less popular than the PS2-era titles or GTA 5, despite being one of the better stories the series has. Plus, if GTA 4 gets a 60fps patch, that would be great too.

Tez also mentions that "if they (Rockstar) follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they'll do a Max Payne 3 port" while hinting that this could arrive around the time of Remedy's upcoming remakes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Max Payne 1 and 2.

But of course, it's always best to take things like this with a grain of salt, especially since Tez2 made a name for themselves with their data mining efforts rather than insider info.

After Suicide Squad's $200 million flop and a massacre of studios, Warner Bros. acknowledges it has "no releases" out, it's spending 66% less on game content, and the Hogwarts Legacy boom is wearing off.

It looks like Rockstar Games' fictional Floridian metropolis is just as fixated on the decade as it was back in 2002. Vice City carved an identity for itself out of the unserious, neon-warped marble of the 80s, with peppy disco beats, soaring pop-rock ballads, and cheesy radio shows framing the world outside Tommy Vercetti's car window as a caricature of hedonism. Flash FM might not have been mentioned in Trailer 2 or any other GTA 6 promotional materials – yet, dare I hope? – but even without whacky ads describing doughnuts in disturbing anatomical detail, the new Grand Theft Auto game's heart still beats fo🌸r one era alone and riffs off those wild vibes to a T.

But it's not just an aesthetic. Much like how Tommy's world was textured by the gaudy hues of the 80s, GTA 6's two current trailers turn that music into a tool – not only to remind us of that shared setting, but to hint at how our new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters might elevate Vice City tꦯhrough their o🦄wn unique story.

Steaming up

If Trailer 2's purpose could be encapsulated as one single thing, I'd consider it a GTA 6 character study. With loved-up GTA 6 protagonists 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval sharing the spotlight, The Pointer Sisters' searing 80s jam🐲 "Hot Together" has never felt more apt.

The duo's whirlwind Bonnie and Clyde romance seems to be at the heart of GTA 6's narrative journey, which will itself break new ground for the Rockstar series. For the first time in franchise history, love (or lust) is the driving force behind our protagonists, more so than money, clout chasing, or scaling the rungs of criminality as seen in past entries. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:character information supplied by Rockstar on it꧋s website illuminates that further – fresh out of prison, Lucia wants to clean up her act and give her mother the "good life" she's long dreamed of, while Jason sees Lucia as the first good reason he's ever had to turn over a new leaf.

Not only does "Hot Together" evoke the sense of a fiery, tempestuous, addictive love between the two in a lyrical sense – "we could dance this dance forever" – it speaks to the crushing heat of Vice City as a place. As a city in the Florida Keys, it's hot temperature-wise. But it's also hot on the crime map – and Jason and Lucia seem to play no small part in that particular swe🐽at-fest.

Growing up and glowing up

We also learn a lot about GTA 6's modern day take on Vice City from the snippets of radio music peppered throughout. Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" can be heard on the car radio at one point, a throwback to the bands' presence on the GTA Vice City soundtrack, along with Tammy Wynette's country ballad "Talkin' To Myself" and even a lit🔯tle Joan Jett crackling in the background of a TV advert. To me, this speaks to how GTA 6 is a thoroughly modern game whose world still finds representation in the diverse cultural cacophony of the 1980s – but Rockstar's comment on whether that's a good thing could be very different this time around.

True enough, the developer seems to be staying true to the identity of Vice City. It's a sleazy, sun kis🏅sed slice of the American South, and much like 23 years ago, Rockstar uses music to complicate that personality further in its two GTA 6 trailers. The 80s was a great time for pop culture and a weird time for most everything else, perfectly laying out Tommy's view of Vice City as a world of idealized potential, but GTA 6's romantic core is a game changer.

Here, the hyperbolic elements of a thriving city so stuck in the past are contrasted by the very real, very human story being told about Jason and Lucia. How much room for kitsch is there in what is, essentially, a game about a love story? And how far will those more humanized eleme🐓nts take on a little levity to keep it a🐷ll from getting too heavy?

There's only so much I can glean from the trailers about that so far, but suffice it to say, I'm feeling good about thꦆe direction Rockstar is driving in. GTA 6 could be the most mature Grand Theft Auto game ever if it stays on brand while tapping its toe to a brand new melody – and if it has to forgo some of the silliness to make that point, I'd be more than happy to see it sing.

GTA 6 is one of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games on the way in 2026

Environment artist David O'Reilly – who worked at Rockstar during the development of GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and GTA 6 before leaving in 2023 – has posted a video on his YouTube channel, Game World Art, reacting to the new GTA reveals. However, during the start of the video "Ex-Rockstar Artist Reacts to GTA6 Trailꦰer 2 Screenshots" he said, "I worked on GTA 6 from 2018 to 2023, [I] went on to it after we wrapped on RDꦏR2." Considering pulled together to work on the Red Dead Redemption sequel, it's pretty much a confirmation that GTA 6 didn't actually go into full development until 2018.

That being said, that doesn't mean nothing was being done with the game until then; preliminary work on Red Dead Redemption 2 was being done before GTA 5 was released. It's safe to assume that it's probably the same case for GTA 6 – with pre-production 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:reportedly starting in 2014. However, this gives us a good idea of when things really got put i💧nto motion.

Even though he only left a couple of years ago, O'Reilly was still wowꦆed by the trailer, saying, "everything looks so different than when I last saw it" before adding, "I think it's going to be pretty indicativeཧ of what we're going to see on the release."

Assassin's Creed Shadows devs "just couldn't wait" to sneakily add some parkour improvements ahead of a bigger Title Update with some much smoother freerunning

But those weren't enough for some, which is why GTA Forums (via ) posted that they had captured all 5,002 frames of the GTA 6 trailer and shared them online for would-be detectives to search through for even more hidden details. One user, already gone on the hunt, picking up details like characters having realistic body hair, Jason's watch actually working, coins in the cash register moving with their own physics📖, and even Jason's hair changing depending on how wet it is.

Another interesting tidbit from the trailer is that Jason can be seen wearing earpods during a scene where he is wo♈rking out, which the user points out could hint at the existence of an on-foot radio in GTA 6. Of course, that's just speculation, but the ability to walk down the streets of Vice City with some Wang Chung blasting in your ears would be a much appreciated feature.

Of course, this is only the beginning. Now that all 5,002 frames of t🐲he trailer are available in high quality, we'll no doubt be finding details in this trailer for a long time to come as GTA sleuths go through every segment. I mean, what else are they going to do, play another game?

Ex Rockstar dev says GTA 6 would be worth the "$80 bucks or whatever" for its detail and realism: "You think Mario Kart competes with a game like this?"

In a tweet in the wake of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2, one Rockstar fan pointed to the level of cloth simulation that could be seen in the new footage. From the arrival of Jason's landl﷽ord at the start of the trailer, we get to see clothing swaying, creasing, ღand deforming accurately across a number of different characters.

Whether it's Jason's tank top or Lucia's hi-vis jacket, clothing crumples and creases as it would in real life. In one shot, we can even see Jason's chain swaying against his chest as he rides his motorcycle. It's th🗹e kind of detail that mos꧟t studios wouldn't invest so much time in, because it's often the kind of thing that players don't notice, but I guess that's not Rockstar's style.

Of course, clothing isn't the only way that Rockstar is flexing on the industry. From its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:dedicated beer bottle tech to jiggl♔e physics and individually-modelled blades of grass, there's a huge amount of attention to detail throughout the trailer, and there's a good chance that all that will translate to gameplay when the game🦩 eventually arrives.

Ex Rockstar dev says GTA 6 would be worth the "$80 bucks or whatever" for its detail and realism: "You think Mario Kart competes with a game like this?"

Editor Derek Lieu, who's helped make a ton of game trailers, including ones for Half-Life Alyx and Psychonauts 2, tells that th🦄e upcoming game looks "amazing," but its trailer doesn't convey much about what this story is actually about, apart from the fact that we play as a couple of criౠme-doers.

"A trailer is designed to do this thing well, which is to incite🐻 our emotions and show a bunch of stuff from this new thing that we haven't seen before," Lieu says. "This trailer, ꦰor a bunch of B-roll with music over it, can kind of achieve the same thing. But that doesn't make it a good trailer. Just because people get hyped, doesn't mean it's a good trailer."

Continuing, Lieu adജds that "the only thing we know about these characters is: They do crime and they're a couple," before questioning what their motivation is. "Why are they doing crime? Are they being forced to do crime? What's the reason?" Be🌳yond just getting rich, that is.

Rockstar Games' website gave us more info a♔bout Jason and Lucia, our ambitious 💎protag duo, who apparently get caught up in a job gone wrong, but much of it isn't in the trailer.

The second trailer primarily had one job, though: to soften the blow of GTA 6's delay to next year. And it did that. The internet was immediately set ablaze at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:almost unbelievable tech on display, while more niche fan bases got to work 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trying to accurately create its map a full year before launch.

And to play devil's advocate, I'd agree with Lieu in the sense that, yeah, the second trailer doesn't really tell us anything important that we didn't know from its first look. But think about the little slice of life moments we get throughout the trailer – Jason going about his daily chores and g🎃etting ogled by women, a random NPC canoeing, Lucia coming home from community service, throwing her keys onto the table and then collapsing into Jason's arms. How rare is it that a AAA game this expensive shows genuine signs of life?

Rockstar says GTA 6 trailer 2 was "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," and I'm wondering where the gameplay was.

In an online , Francesco "FR3NKD" Piacenti, who describes himself as a "professional game artist," highlights "some of the technical details I noticed in the new GTA 6 trailer." It's an impressive collection of details, to say the least, consisting of screenshots from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2, starting with one of protagonist 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jason Duval that showcases how "muscles deform realistically" in the up𒆙coming game.

Next, the screencaps show car mirrors with detailed reflections and light passing through glass and producing refractions. Sweat drips and glimmers on characters' bodies, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:b🍸eer forms realistic bubbles and foam, and cars have dirt part🔯icles that could potentially form over tiꦺme.

The artist also highlights hair with "complex physics simulation," body parts that jiggle with movement, individuall🍬y modeled blades of grass🧸, coins in cash registers, and more.

Much like in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2, the environments are very aesthetically impressive with en💛hanced lighting and water rendering, but that's not all. They're also brought to life by fine details like raccoons rummaging through garbage bins an🦹d leaves piling up against building corners.

It's exciting, to say the least, even if it might spur concerns relating to performance. As one person comments, "I don't think commercial graphic cards can 😼h🔯andle it."

Piacenti isn't the only dev impressed by the new trailer, either. Various others have been reacting to Rockstar's second big reveal, proclaiming that "Grand Theft Auto 6 looks like a AAA game fromꦓ the future" and has "incredible graphical fidelity." Series veterans are praising it, too, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA creator Mike Dailly himself, who calls the titleꦕ's environmen🥂t "lovely" and states "things are moving much better."

There's no telling just yet how environmentally and visually stunning GTA 6 truly will be in action, but one thing's for certain – come the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new May 2026 release date, players will get to find out for themselves.

GTA 6's new trailer has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to Red Dead Redemption 2, further proving they're set in the same universe

I've been dying to get my eyes on some GTA 6 gameplay footage since the first trailer dropped more than a year ago, and while the new trailer is a stunning display of big budget AAA glitz, I was admittedly just a tiny bit bummed that we didn't actually see the game, outside of cutscenes, in motion. But wait, appare♍ntly we did.

In a tweet posted on Wednesday, Rockstar declares: "Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer ꦿ2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes."

We knew the footage was captured on🗹 a base PS5, but i༺t being approximately 50% gameplay is news to me.

I know you can see a tiny glimpse of a transition into gameplay🧔 when protagonist Jason is walking into his house, but what else am I missing?

I suppose there's no way to know ex💯actly how Rockstar defines "gameplay," but in my house it's the parts of the game that aren't cutscenes, shown from the view of a player controlling the game.

It could be that there are parts of the trailer that look like cutscenes, but are actually gameplay footage, which would be pretty impressive. I'm not by any means calling Rockstar out, I just genuinely can't decipher which portion of the trailer is cutscene footage and which half is supposed to be gameplay. Perhaps that's high praise for the graphical fidelity, but it doesn't help me parse how this thing plays.

Ultimately, we can only assume from Rockstar's tweet that there are scenes shown in the trailer that are representative of how the game looks outside cutscenes, although to my eyes there's stil🌌l no knowing how the game mechanics and controls actually look and work. Granted, GTA games generally follow a familiar feel and formula, but I'd still like to see this thing run.

"Grand Theft Auto 6 looks like a AAA game from the future": Game devs react to GTA 6 trailer 2, wowed by Rockstar's "incredible graphical fidelity."

In case you've done your mental health the bountiful blessing of staying offline this week, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 is the talk of the town. Everyone from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:other game developers to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the creator of GTA himself i🏅s talking about the new trailer, and now Mik🧸e York, who was an animator at Rockstar from 2012 to 2017, is chiming in.

It'd be one thing if it was a cu✅rrent GTA 6 dev saying this, but York presumably has no skin in the game at this point, and he's still mighty impressed, saying in a lengthy reaction video that he sees a noticeable improvement in the game's lighting from the first trailer to this new one.

ღ"Sometimes during production you figure out something that changes everything, and in here it could be lighting," York says (via ). "They're like, 'Oh no', they figured out how to solve this new thing to make the lighting look much better, and then they just crank that up to 10, 11.

"They start really focusing on changing a𒁃 lot of stuff and redo❀ing all the lights, because they found this new kind of method maybe to do the lighting – the reflections and all the different stuff for the ray tracing."

Rockstar has yet to unveil the price for GTA 6, which is now scheduled to launch on May 26, 2026, but with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo floating $80 games like Mario Kart Worl♐d, wallets the world round are shaking in their leather-bound folds. Reg🎉ardless, York says no matter how much GTA 6 ends up costing, it'll♍ be well worth the investment.

"All theseꦅ other games that come out for 70 bucks, 90 bucks, I mean look you've got Mario Kart for $90 – you think Mario Kart competes with a game like this, as far as how much stuff they've got to put into a game?"

At various points in the video, York can be seen oohing and ahhi🦄ng at GTA 6's admittedly next-level visual detail, a🔴nd, in particular, guesses "they've done something to the lighting" in the time between the two trailers' releases.

As other folks have said, GTA 6 tra𒁃iler 2 really does lo🅰ok like something that traveled back in time from the future, although the footage is 99% cinematic, so there's still no telling what gameplay in the final product will look like.

EA CEO won't call out the GTA 6 delay by name, but says the new Battlefield release window is "clearer than it was before."

Naturally th🔴e GTA fanbase is in full sleuth mode trying to find out who will be taking GTA into the next generatio💫n, which has led some prominent voice actors to make a statement that they aren't in the game.

Over a year ago, The Last of Us actor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Troy Baker shot down rumors that he will be playing the now named co-protagonist Jason in the upcoming game. And now, over a year and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 delay later, Sonic the Hedgehog himself, Roger Craig Smith, has also crossed hi⛦s name off the board.

Smith took to Twitter with a simple message: "Nope. Not me. Just to clarify. #GTA6." While it seemed pretty cut and dry what he meant, the actor, who also voiced Chris Redfield in the likes of Resident Evil 5 and 6, as well as Ezio in Assassin's Creed, had to post a follow-up message, saying: "LITERALLY attempting to clarify that it is NOT my voice in th♌at trailer. Just to clarify my earlier clarification." Although he did praise the trailer, calling it "amazing."

That being said, the GTA fanbase seems to have centered on two actors in particular for our protagonists, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gregory Connors pegged to be Jason and .

This would match Rockstar's previous casting choices, opting to cast lesser-known actors over established gaming actors for their lead roles. Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur – Roger Clark – had only been in a handful of films before being cast in the game, and the same goes for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 5's Trevor – Steven Ogg.

That's not to say the game won't have any established voice actors, as fans reckon Brian Heder (the old guy talking to Jason at the start of the trailer) is voiced by Coen brothers . Which seems pretty likely considering he sounds like Buck Strickland, who Root played on the animated sitcom King of the Hill, but we'll just have to wait and see.

While we don't know any of the voice actors yet, here are all of the GTA 6 characters we know of right now.

Multiple 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 devs took to Twitter after the trailer was revealed to share their work, including graphics programmer Víctor Ávila, who : "Chat did we cook?" Based on the fact that the trailer accumulated 19 million views on YouTube in just two hours, with views continuing💃 to soar beyond 69 million since, I think it's safe to say thaꦚt, yes, they did.

Fellow graphics programmer Arthur Medeiros is and is clearly super excited too, as he proclaims that "WE'REꦜ COOKINGGGGG." Any GTA dev fully deserves to unleash some caps lock-fuelled hype on Twitter given what they've contributed to, let's face it.

That sense of pride was echoed b𓆏y Mariah Jankieไ, a senior QA tester for functionality who : "So proud. I hope y'all enjoy the trailer. First thing I did was call my mum to show her. Working hard pays off."

Rockstar Games senior environment artist that "we have been working hard," and looking at the incredible attention to detail and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:graphical fidelity alone, it's not at all hard to believe him. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Beer bottles have tiny bubbles in them even when they're not the focal point of the shot, 🌳for crying out loud.

Elsewhere, Alex Hadjadj, vice president of technology and technical director of graphics at Rockstar, shares a quote from GTA 6 co-protagonist Jason, : "'I𒈔f we're gonna do this, we're doing i🌊t right.'" While the dev might just be sharing a line from the game, it sounds like it could also be a behind-the-scenes thought process from Rockstar in relation to the development itself, but that's just speculation. It would tie into the studio's obvious commitment to quality, though.

Hyped? You should be, although the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:unfortunate news from last wee🃏k remains – there's now over a year to go before GTA 6 will actually be in our hands, with that fall 2025 release window now a distant dream. Here's hoping it'll be worth the wait when it launches on May 26 next year – it 🏅certainly looks promising so far.

85 new GTA 6 screenshots and images drop alongside new trailer, providing an in-depth tour of Vice City and all its surrounding locations.

Sharing his thoughts after the newly released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2 in a recent onl♋ine, Douse seemingly praises the upcoming game and its predecessors for their ability to encapsulate pop culture: "Once again GTA perfectly captures the broadest impression of contemporary cuꦛlture without compromise while the entire industry around it selectively files away the burrs of reality through fear of ???????"

The publishing lead continues, clapping back at any potentꦆial critics who might say the new game has no "modern audience" that would enjoy it: "Meanwhile you have some out of touch dude like 'there is no modern audience, it is science' lmao," he writes. "Yes there is and they're playing GTA 6 and understanding all of the references because life is rich and expensive and niche and granular."

Douse concludes with a bit of an explanation behind his post-trailer thoughts, saying he loves Rockstar's open-world gems as each entry "humbles" the gaming industry by going big with a release and then taking years, in this case 12, before their next. "I really like the GTA series because it humbles an industry that constantly argues about everything all the time by doing everything all atꦑ once and then peacing out for a decade."

He isn't the only person in the industry impressed after the new GTA 6 trailer, either. Various devs have been reacting to Rockstar's second big reveal, proclaiming that "Grand Theft Auto 6 looks like a AAA game ꦺfrom the future" and has "incredible graphical fidelity." Series veterans are praising it, too, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA creator Mike Dailly himself, who calls the title's ไenvironment "lovely" and states "things are moving much better."

Following Red Dead Redemption 2's realistic horse anatomy, Rockstar doubles down with dedicated beer tech for GTA 6

After it was announced that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 is delayed until next May, I was expecting radio silence from Rockstar for a while, but the studio decided to throw us a bone and released a new GTA 6 trailer out of the blue. The trailer is an exciting ride that gives us a proper introduction to the new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:our dual protagonists Lucia and Jason, as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the supporting cast. It looks super impressive, with even the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red talking up how good it looks.

Despite only being a couple of minutes of footage, fans have already picked up on some of Rockstar's massive attention to detail on show – not surprising from the studio that programmed realistic horse testicles that shrink in the cold and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:extremely accurate rivers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2.

While Jason is watching his TV and seeing what seems to be a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:resurrected Phil Cassidy, Twitter user picked up on the tiniest of details in th🍒e scene. If you zoom in on the beer bottle on Jason's table, you can see it has bubbles fizzing to the top of it. Not only that, but there are realistic reflections of the TV screen in a nearby picture frame and on the glass coffee table.

Obviously these are cine🌳matics, and that level of detail is unlikely to be present in the moment-to-moment gameplay, but it's still undoubtedly super impressive for Rockstar to make something so realistic looking, even if 99% of people playing GTA 6 won't even notice it.

Even though we've been waiting for GTA 6 longer than the majority of people you run into on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA Online have been alive, it's clear Rockstar has made the most of it, if the cinematics are anything to go by.

Rockstar also released a whole host of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 screenshots on its website, giving a better look at its characters and locations.

GTA 6 will take players back to Vice Cit⛦y's hot pavement and way beyond it, too, with opportunities to explore everything from Leonida's wetlands and mountains to the concrete pitstops ✱you wouldn't want to see under a blacklight.

T🧔he scenic and tropical Leonida Keys floats on the edge of "some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America," says a press kit, while the Grassrivers wetlands promises both snarling alligators and "weirder discoveries among the mangroves."

Further along the shore, the "forgotten" Port Gellhorn is liꦛttered with empty malls and bottles of "malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks," the press kit continues. But inland doesn't sound much better – in the town Ambrosia, the "Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the j🐻obs, while the local biker gang provides almost everything else."

But at least players will have the opportunity to soar above all t🅘he tear-stained debauchery on Mount Kalaga, which offers "room to breathe on the state's northern fringes."

"A national landmark up against the state's northꦡern border," the press release continues. "Mount Kalaga offers prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails. In the lush surrounding backwoods, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the 🎃prying eyes of the government."

Given that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters include a Cal Hampton, proud conspiracy theorist, bird denier, and certified private browser, I wouldn't be surprised if Mount Kalaga beckons him with its secrecy. It could even invite its own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mount Chiliad mysteryꦓ, who knows? I mean, anyone wants to believe after a certain number of Jack a🌟nd Cokes.

Liberty City lives on in spirit as GTA 6 reveals new protagonist Lucia is from GTA's New York.

In case you're just now reading about it, surprise! The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2 dropped out of nowhere today just a few days after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the game's delay to 2026 was announced. There's still no gameplay, sadly, but it is a ve𝐆ry cool trailer that'll sure to take some of the sting out of having to wait another sever🌞al months for the long, long-awaited sequel.

The trailer begins with protagonist Jason Duval climbing down from a rooftop and telling a nearby character he's "just fixing some leaks." Obviously, there's no way to be 100% certain this is a reference to the September 2022 leak of 90+ videos and screens from the game, or the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ear✅ly relea🔴se of the original trailer, but c'mon, it's the first line of dialogue in the trailer from one of the main prot🍨agonists. Rockstar is still salty.

I don't blame them either! Purely from a financial standpoint, Rockstar told a UK court in December 2023 that the leak cost them $5 million on top of "thousands of hours of staff time,🦹" and that's not even considering the mental and emotional toll something like that would🐭 have on hundreds of🅺 developers, marketing and PR people, and even fans who would've been hoping to experience the big reveal unspoiled.

Thankfully, the new trailer includes a whole lot more than a subtle reference to an old leak. First of all, iꦺt's so darn pretty one game dev said it "looks like a AAA game from the future," which I'd agree with.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查꧑询:We also f🃏inally know Jason and Lucia's full names, there's confirmation that a classic Vice City location is back and more obnoxiously Ameri🎉can ♓than ever, and there's even a mysteri𒁃ous, conspicuously PlayStation-looking console hidden in the🥃 background. Oh, and the cherry on top is t🐎he release of 85 beauti𝔍ful new screenshots giving an in-depth tour of Vice City and the surrounding areas.

"IS THAT PHIL CASSIDY": New GTA 6 trailer seems to resurrect a fan-favorite GTA 3D loser years after he disappeared from the franchise.

One of those details is related to the apparent return of Phil Cassidy, ever🌸yone's favorite dirtbag from GT🌸A: Vice City. If the trailer doesn't confirm that Phil hopped over from 3D canon and into the HD universe housing GTA 6, it definitely confirms that his ammo shop, lovingly dubbed Phil's Depot in Vice City and Vice City Stories, has been re-realized iꦗn GTA 6... except now it's even more unabashedly, stupidly American.

At around the 2:10 mark in the new trailer, a man that looks to be Phil Cassidy can be seen in an advertisement for an ammo shop he calls – brace yourself sweet, delicate UK readers – Phil's Ammunation.

That's right, in a prototypical display of either ignorance or proud defiance of established language conventions, this all-American badass pronounces it Ammun-ation.

"Come to ဣPhil's Ammunation today. We've got more guns than the law allows," he barks, flanked by bikini-clad women before firing off semiautomatic rounds from a rooftop.

Anyway, yes, it appears Phil's Depot has been re-named Phil's, ugh, Ammunation. It's even spelled that way on the ဣsign, which confirms Phil isn't just riffing on the name. He friggin' re-named it that, on purpose. It's the Gulf of Phil, now, folks.

Grand Theft Auto creator reacts to GTA 6 trailer 2: "Now that's more like it. That environment is lovely, and things are moving much better."

As this post goes live, the new trailer has already amassed 19 million views, 312k comments, and 3 million likes on YouTube, just a few hours after its 9:30am ET debut. The numbers will certainly be even higher by the time you read this, as I've already had to go back and update those figures by the millions multiple times as I put this w🌌rite-up together.

The trailer is currently #1 on YouTube's trending list, ahead of various pieces of Met Gala coverage, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Squid Game season 3 teaser, and a golf video I could not begin to unpack.

The original GTA 6 trailer amassed 93 million views in the first 24 hours after its launch, which marked a record for any non-music-video YouTube debut. Given all the hype for the game, at this point I'd be more surprised if the second trailer didn't beat that record.

For anyone who's speculated about GTA 6 trailers appearing at events like Summer Game Fest or The Game Awards, there's a reason Rockstar doesn't bother participatinꩲg in industry shows for major news drops. The studio can just drop a trailer on a random Tuesday morning and still m🍌ake the kind of impact other developers can only dream of.

For a breakdown of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters or the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 locations we now have a lot more insight on, you know where to click.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2 provides us with the first real look at the long-awaited game's story, its primary protagonists 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, as well as its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:other quirky characters.

Along with the glimpse the trailer gives of ꧒GTA🐼 6's Florida-based setting and its inhabitants, it's impossible to ignore the stunning visuals and impressive movie-like quality of GTA 6's second trailer – for fans and devs alike, apparently.

Gotham Knights, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Star Wars: Squadrons 🅰writer Mitch Dyer serves as proo⛦f, reacting to the new trailer in an online .

"Grand Theft Auto VI looks like a AAA game f📖rom the future," admits the dev, linking to Rockstar's video. "Holy smokes." He's not alone in the industry in thinking so, either.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red senior communication manager Pawel Bur♈za seems t♒o agree – as does his studio as a whole.

"There are these moments when the whole office goes silent to watch a masterpiece," writes Burza 🎃in his own , adding a heart-eyed emoji.

The official Palworld account on Twitter looks to highlight Pocketpair's🍬 excitement, too. Responding to today's GTA 6 trailer, it simply that "gaming is saved."

Rockstar and series veterans feel similarly, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA creator Mike Dailly himself calling the environment "lovely, and things are moving much bette꧂r."

Not all devs are on the same page, however. Ubisoft writer Rik Godwin shares his thoughts in a , "Minus the *incredible* graphic🐼al fidelity, that looked extremely rote." According to Godwin༒, the trailer's events come off as mechanical.

"I don't say this lightly," he explains, "but if you told an AI to make a GTA VI trailer this is wh🐎at you'd get." He cites some of the characters' details, like Cal Hampton's, on Rockstar's site to back his opinion up.

"The protagonist's best friend is a conspiracy theorist according to the new GTA VI 🃏site. One of his outfits is a t-shirt emblazoned with 'Violence Is Good; Thanks Vi♛deogames.' Hmm x2."

Godwin does acknowledge that "two 2-minute trailers are obviously nowhere near enough to represent a product of this size," though, saying "I will Buy and Play this videogame." It's just that, after 12 years and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2, he expected "something a little different."

There's no telling just yet how impressive GTA 6 truly will be, but one thing's for certain – come the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new May 2026 release date, plenty ofꦬ folks will be playing Rockstar's game.

Liberty City lives on in spirit as GTA 6 reveals new protagonist Lucia is from GTA's New York

Many of the screenshots focus on six key 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 locations that'll appear in the game. There is, of course, Vice City itself – the glitzy town with a bustling nightlife heavily inspired by Miami, Florida. Contrast that with Ambrosia, a rundown industrial town seemingly populated by r𝄹ednecks and biker gangs.

The more rural parts of the map will include the swamps of Grassrivers, the tourist hotspots around the Leonida Keys, and the wilderness of Mount Kalaga National Park. Finally, there's ♎Port Gellhorn, which looks like it might as well be a factory for producing Florida Men.

GTA 6 location screenshots

Vice City gets the most atten🏅tion in these images, with nine screenshots (plus a postcard) dedicated to the location.🎉 Obviously, the town's had quite a glow-up since it last appeared on the PS2, with dense detail on the streets and crowded heavily crowded beaches on display. There's a particular focus on the nightlife, too.

Ambrosia is as far from the glitz of Vice City as you can get. Here we see a bunch of rural areas and industrial parks, with a pa🌱rticular focus on a biker gang apparently called the Final Chapter. The array of political signs and big billboard promising that a certain sweets shop is allied with "diversity 'n' treats" suggests Rocksta🦋r won't be shying away from its usual takes on current events, either.

With Gras🅠srivers we're getting into the swamps, complete with alligator hunters armed with assault rifles and riding airboats. The image of a police vehicle chasing a pickup truck through swamp water multiple feet high is particularly compelling, since it suggests we're going to have a lot of offroad🍨ing options, and the volume of live alligators throughout these screens indicate that we're going to be spending plenty of time dealing with local wildlife.

The Loenida Keys are clearly the most touristy of these locations, with images showing waterside bars and beach shops, as well as more high-end activities like scuba diving and yachting. Exactly how many of these activities we'll b🌞e able to participate in as players isn't entirely clear, but given Rockstar's pedigree I wouldn't be surprised if they're all on the table.

Mount Kalaga National Park is largely wilderness, but it has a varied array of locations, including muddy dirtbike tracks, deep woodlands, canyon roads, and even streams suited for kayaking. I'm most interested, though, in the image of what looks like a Florida panther stalking some deer, as it looks like all the work Rockstar put into getting wildlife right in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2 is continuing to pay off.

Port Gellhorn looks like it might be the least appealing of these locations to visit, as h🌄ome to cheap motels and rundown strip clubs, though it'll certainly provide an appropriate location for GTA's take on rural crime.

Alongside today's trailer, Rockstar also dropped last names and backstories for protagonists Jason Duval🤡 and Luc🐲ia Caminos. Naturally, there are plenty of images of tho🍸se characters among the new screenshots.

GTA 6 Jason and Lucia screenshots

Lucia appears to take on a wide variety of roles throughout the game, as we see her here training to fight, sitting on a motorbike in casual businesswear, and pa🅷rtying it up. Jason, meanwhile, is doing everything you'd expect of a GTA protagonist (mostly drinking and shooting guns), though I'm curious if the image of him on the boat means we're getting a proper fishing minigame.

Plus, we got a look at a big chunk of the supporting cast of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters, who we'll presumably taking many of the 🐭game's missions ൩from.

According to Rockstar's official character descriptions, Boobie Ike is a business mogul whose efforts range from recording studios to🐼 strip clubs. Brian Heder is an old smuggler who of🐎fers Jason a place to stay. Cal Hampton is an online conspiracy theorist. Dre'Quan Priest is an aspiring music mogul. Raul Batista is a career criminal specializing in bank robbery. And lastly, the Real Dimez are a pair of influencers and rappers who've finally secured a record deal.

On top of all the screenshots, Rockstar has also given us an arra🐷y of new character art for the whole cast.

After all these years, it's starting to look like GTA 6 might actually be a real video game – and leave it to Rockstar to build such hype that we're poring over screenshots like we're back in the🌠 magazine era of video game coverage once again.

If GTA 6 is anything less than one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best open-world games it's going to be a disappointment.

While the last trailer gave Lucia a lot of screentime, her partner in crime, Jason, was the star of this new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer. But we got plenty of Lucia too, with us getting to see Jason pick her up from jail aౠnd dig into their romantic relationship being explored more.

However, as exciting and jam-packed as the trailer was, there was a ton more info released on Rockstar's website, including bios for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 characters including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:our protagonists and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the supporting cast. One of these bios has turned some heads, with Lucia's page revealing that the new protagonist has moved to Vice City from none other𒁃 than Libert🎉y City.

Lucia's bio reads: "More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City – but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is pre🎉pared to take matters into🅠 her own hands."

For those unaware, Liberty City i🌱s the GTA universe's version of New York City, seen in the original game, GTA 3, Liberty City Stories, and, most recently, GTA 4 (asꦅ well as spinoffs like GTA Advance and the criminally overlooked Chinatown Wars).

Now, what does this actually mean for GTA 6? Probably nothing; Rockstar always hides sly references to other games within their titles, with the likes of GTA: The Lost and the Damned's Johnny and Ashley appearing in GTA 5.

However, if we want to put on the tinfoil hat and look at GTA 5 for inspiration, that game opens with a heist segment in Ludendorff, North Yankton, 🌺and considering we've seen Lucia in jail a few times, perhaps something ൩she does in Liberty City could appear in a flashback during GTA 6. Even if not, perhaps the next GTA game will take place in Liberty City, but we'll need to wait for that to release in 20 years' time.

Lucia isn't the only Liberty City native to appear in GTA 6, as the new trailer might resurrect everyone's favorite one-armed arms dealer, Phil Cassidy.

Towards the end of the trailer, we see protagonist Lucia come home to her partner, Jason, who's sprawled out on t🙈he couch watching TV. While the first thing that jumps out here is the trailer for Ammu-Nation, seemingly confirming the return of the series' recurring weapons store in some form, it's the white device next to the screen that's (literally) turning heads. You can take a look at the timestamp below.

While the console is definitely meant to look similar to a PS5, it's not quite the same. It looks a bit more slender, and also has a🌄 long blue light down the middle of it in addition to the power indicator lights the current console has. One could even argue that it looks like an evolu🥀tion of Sony's current-gen device. You know, a bit like a PS6?

"PS6 leaked!!" one eagle-eyed fan proclaims on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of the console on display. "We got a PS6 tease before GTA 6," , providing an unfortunate reminder of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:last week's big delay news.

Is this really what Sony's next-gen console will look like? Only time will tell, but who knows, this could end up being surprisingly accuraཧte (even if it'd be a ꦚpure coincidence if so).

Elsewhere in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2, some fans are convinced that fan-favorite loser Phil Cassidy might be back in the new Vice City 🅷adventure. The theory isn't super straightforward, however, thanks to alternate timeline sh🦋enanigans, but that's probably not going to stop anyone from coming up with ways to make it work. Or maybe Phil is just related to this new character, who knows.

Grand Theft Auto creator reacts to GTA 6 trailer 2: "Now that's more like it. That environment is lovely, and things are moving much better."

"Now that's more like it," Dailly . ꦓ"That environment is lovely, and things are moving much better...𒆙"

After the release of the first GTA 6 trailer, which Rockstar rushed out 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:after the whole thing leaked, Dailly agreed the game "looks pretty" but was critical of 💮its animations.

𓂃"Bloody hell guys, can't you animate things properly?" at the time. "No one moves like that!"

Today, Dailly had more praise in the chamber. "Looks very pretty," he reiterated in a reply. Rockstar's animation work, particularly in physical interactions between characters, like one scene with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 protagonists Lucia and Jason lounging on a couch𒁏, is a📖rguably a high point of trailer 2.

Dailly also supported Rockstar's decision to delay the game to May 2026.

"We hope you understand that we need this extra 𓄧time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve," Rockstar sa🤡id in its delay announcement, apologizing that "this is later than you expected."

"They made the right call to delay if there was any issue, be that bugs/gameplay to give gamers the best experience possib✤le," Dailly said. "Many of us are old enough to remember the debacle that Frontier: Elite 2 had on the PC, where greed got in the way.💖"

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said he "fully" supports Rockstar's decision to hold off, and remain💫s confident that GT🐽A 6 will be "a groundbreaking, blockbuster entertainment experience that exceeds audience expectations." The CEO stopped just short of telling investors, a bit shaky after the abrupt delay, that it will make a zillion dollars no matter when it's released.

Dailly noted that "even if they'd released it broken, it'd still have sold hugely. So it's even more imprꦿessive they took the decision to delay it. Kudos to [Rockstar]."

Our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 live coverage has all the news, details, and analysis you need from the latest info drop.

Though, this idea is… complicated. First: who appears to be Phil in the new GTA 6 trailer has two arms.🍌 But the GTA 3D, dishonorable army vet is famously one-armed in his alternate universe gaꦐmes.

Then🌼, there's the matter of the alternate universe. Since GTA 6 is part of the HD canon and Phil was last spotted in 2006's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories – an unconnected, 3D universe game – the matter of his sudden rise from the grave feels even less likely. At least, that's what fans used to think.

"Who Else Wants To See🍬 P🐬hil Cassidy Return In GTA 6?" asks from one year ago.

"How do p꧅eople still not know the 3D and HD games are in different universes?" says a definitive . "Not happening."

But, this morning's new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer has GTA fanꦦs ready to believe in m🅺iracles.

"IS THAT PHIL CASSIDY," a Reddit comment

"Phil would be at least 70 today if they keep the 3D Universe Phil…" . "I bet it's his son or something… or a rewrite. (Has 2 arms in the trailer)." But I mean, really, can you blame a guy for wanting to be reincarnated with two arms?

GTA 6's Lucia and Jason get full names and backstories as trailer 2 drops and Rockstar shares loads more details about its protagonists.

As seen in the newly released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2, the upcoming entry's primary protagonists are 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos – a modern-day crime-committing couple akin to Bonnie and Clyde. Rockstar's offi🦹cial details the two, describing Jason as an army veteran now working for local drug dealers in the Keys. Lucia, on the other hand, has just done time at the Leonida Penitent𒁃iary. There's more to the game than the protagonists, though.

The site also d𒁏escribes Cal Hampton, a beer-loving, conspiracy-believing hermit of sorts who is friends with Jason. According🅘 to Rockstar, "Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open." Then, there's Vice City legend Boobie Ikes, who went from the streets to overseeing "a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio."

Partnered with Ikes at Only Raw Records is young aspiring musician Dre'Quan Priest, who was "always ꦫmore of a hustler than a gangster." As Rockstar writes on Priest, "Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal." As GTA 6 unfolds, the music-motivated character has his eyes set on breaking into the Vice City scene properly and venturing outside of Ike🐈's strip club.

After Ike and Priest, the site explores duo Real Dimez – Bae-Luxe and Roxy – "girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence." Five years before the events of GTA 6, the two had an early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY. Since the♑n, they've "signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice."

There's also Raul Bautista, a cunning bank robber with plenty of charm and experience to boot, "always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards." As seasoned a criminal as he is, he's also reckless – so much so, he "raises the stakes with every score." Sooner or later♚, as Rockstar puts it, "⭕his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table."

Last but certainly not least, it seems, is Brian Heder, "a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys." The older character, who has "been around long enough to let others do his dirty work," is "still moving product through his ဣboat yard with his third wife, Lori" and allows Jason to live "rent-free🔜" at one of his properties – "so long as he helps with local shakedowns," of course.

GTA 6 delay is a "bummer," former Rockstar technical lead says, but the release date announcement shows the devs are "clearly confident" in the new deadline

On the – if you can get it to load right now with everyone else trying to access it – the developer has shared character profiles for its protagonists and some of its supporting cast, revealing the full names of Lucia and her now-named pa🐲rtner in crime Jason, as well as a taste of their backstories.

Lucia Caminos seems to have had her share of bad luck, as her bio reveals that her "father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the 🃏Leon𝔉ida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia's learned her lesson – only smart moves from here."

We see Lucia leaving the Penitentiary in the latest trailer, so perhaps that's something that happens near the start of the game? She also has ꦐroots in GTA 4's Liberty City, as her bio continues: "More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City – but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands."

Then, we have Jason Duval, who "wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder." He "grew up around grifters and crooks," and "after a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knowᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs best, working for local ꧙drug runners. It might be time to try something new."

Even though Lucia and Jason seem really close, his bio adds that meetinಌg her "could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him." It continues: "Jason ♏knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell."

After the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:game's delay was announced last week, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 trailer 2 was exactly what fans needed to lift their spirits, and this has been the biggest look we've had so far at Rockstar🏅's upcoming open-world blockbuster. There's no doubt that loads of details are going to be picked out from it over the hours, days, and even weeks to come, so stay tuned for that.

Analysts react to GTA 6 delay: "2025 will clearly be the year of Nintendo now" and "the delay isn't a stumble – it's Rockstar doing what it always does."

GTA 6 trailer 2 puts coupled protagonists Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval in the spotlight, with Lucia leaving pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrison and quickly joining Jason in a life of crim♏e.

The glut of criminal ac🧔tivities available in Rockstar's open-world sandbox, from small-time robberies to ambitious heists, is the backdrop for much of the trailer, though Jason s🧔eems to front a more honest living elsewhere.

On , Jason's character profile notes that he joined the Army to "shake off his troubled teens," only to win😼d up once again "doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners." He now dreams of aiming higher and doing "something new."

Lucia, meanwhile, learned "to fight as soon as she co🐠uld walk" – an upbringing that eventually earned her a stint in the 🦩penitentiary on Leonida, the overall setting of GTA 6.

Vice City, a GTA holy ground, is just one area of GTA 6, and Liberty ꦓCity only comes up in a passing reference to Lucia's past in today's content flood: "Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City," her bio reads.

We're also introduced to Cal Hampton, a friend of Jason's, seemingly a bit of an accomplice in GTA 6, and a hardcore conspiracy theorist if his distrust of birds is anything to go by. "﷽Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open," Rockstar says.

The Pointer Sisters' song Hot Together carries the 𝔉trailer, contrasting Tom Petty's Love is a Long Road from the first trailer.

Turns out that I was absolutely not the only one to have this extremely clever, original realization. The ever-s๊uffering Silksong subreddit is awash with the sentiment, with posts like and which is somehow distinct from the previous post with the exact same title.

Silksong has been confirmed for launch in 2025, and it's looking increasingly likely that it'll actually make that release window, what with its impending 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:appearance at an Australian museum and all. Meanwhile, we now know for certain that GTA 6 won't be out this year.

Memes about the many things we've gotten before GTA 6 have been going for years, shared by everyone from forum posters to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WWE superstar John Cena. But given how legendaryꦏ the pain of the Hollow Knight fandom has become in recent years, juxtaposed with the GTA community's long, re-release filled wait since GTA 5, perhaps this is the gag🐽's ultimate form.

Now, all that's left is to ponder the next question to plague global society: what are we getting before 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6?

Keep track of everything with our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games for 2025 and beyond.

Reacting to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 delay on Twitter, Obbe Vermeij, who worked on GTA 3, 4, Vice City, and San Andreas in his time at Rockstar before departing the company in 2009, does think that there's a positiꦜve to take from this latest announcement, at least. "The good news is that they are clearly confident they are going to make May," he argues. "Otherwise they wouldn't have given a date."

Further down in the thread, he agrees that it was "absolutely" a brave decision for the company to make, adding: "I remember when we made t🅠he call for GTA 4. It's not an easy decision to make. You don't want to disappoint the fans."

Vermeij also walks back slightly on previous comments he made a few days ago, when he stated that if it was his decision, he "wouldn't release any additional trailers" for GTA 6, reasoning that "there is more than enough hype around 6, and the element of surpris൲e is going to make the release only bigger as an event." Today, he suggests: "A second trailer would be nice now to wash away the disappointment."

While it sounds like the delay has potentially been inevitable for a while, with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reporting that "nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed fall 2025 was a real window for a very long time now," from the outside, Vermeij "thought it was 50/50👍" that GTA 6 would actually be released tꦦhis year.

Not only are we now faced with a longer wait for the game, but the potential impact the delay could have on the industry might also be pretty bad. One veteran analyst, Circana's Mat Piscatella, told us that he doesn't think "anyone benefits in 2025 from this," while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:other analysts have suggested to us that "the double whammy that was supposed to revitalize the game industry ov𝄹erall is now called off," and that "without GTA 6 to boost momentum, 2025 will be a cautious, quiet year."

Take-Two CEO "fully" supports Rockstar's GTA 6 delay, promises "a groundbreaking, blockbuster entertainment experience that exceeds audience expectations."

GTA 6 was meant to be a rising tide that lifts all boats this year, bringing people and spending and investment back to an industry that's largely been contracting or coasting for a while, particularly on console (GTA 6 hasn't been announced for PC, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:but a port seems inevitable).

It's also an all-consuming blockbuster threatening🍸 to bury any adjacent releases. This delay may be a short-term opportunity for some other games and companies, but many analysts agree that the games forecast as a whole will be down at a time where a boost is needed.

CEO of Japan game industry consultancy Kantan Games, notes that "studios looking to release games in the second half of 2025 are probably breathing a sigh of relief now: No more danger that GTA 6 takes the oxygen ou👍t of the room anymore.

"Now Nintendo has half a year to prepare and market a potentially big holiday line-up, Sony can release 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost of Yotei in peace, and Microsoft has more room to possibly release its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox handheld," Toto tells GamesRadar+. "However, the double whammy that was supposed to revitalize the game industry overall is now called off." (As it happens, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost of Yotei pre-orders began just hours after the delay broke.)

Toto predicts that "2025 will clearly be the year of Nintendo now," with PlayStation and Xbox bringing milder offerings to the table much later in their console cycles while the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 comes out swinging.

One upside, Toto reiterates, is that devs can get a head start planning around Rockstar's May 2026 window, steering clear of the elephant in the room. Unless you're Devolver Digital – then you're lining up iron sights right on that elephant.

Joost van Dreunen, who writes 🧜the and teach♚es at , agrees that "without GTA 6 sucking the air out of the room, Q4 just got a little more breathable for everyone else."

He tells us: "Big p✨ublishers like EA, Ubisoft, and Sony now have a shot at commanding attention during a window that would have otherwise been swallowed whole. It's an opportunity.

"At the🍷 same time, they can't rely on piggybacking off the cultural moment a GTA launch creates. Instead, they'll need to ge🐬nerate their own buzz, which is harder and costlier in a market where attention is fragmented and consumer enthusiasm is thinner than usual."

The implications for Rockꦜstar and GTA 6 itself are no concern, Van Dreunen reasons. "The delay isn't a stumble — it's Rockstar doing what it always does: waiting for the perfect moment. GTA 6 now lands in Ma🌌y 2026, giving it a bigger install base, less competition, and total narrative control. That's how GTA 5 managed to achieve its success, too."

He highlights another key point: beyond additional development time, this delay gives Rockstar a chance to capitalize on the new P🌠S5 and Xbox Series X owners the holiday season will bring.

David Cole of games industry marketing and research firm DFC Intelligence says it's "not entirely surprising that GTA VI has been delayed, but it is ce🥀rtainly a dis🔥appointment."

"There is still a significant consumer base that has not upgraded from the previous generation and DFC Intelligence had projected GTA VI to be a major driver of PS5 an🍎d Xbox Series X|S hardware sales in 2025," he adds. "With rising tariffs, increasing prices and the absence of GTA VI to motivate consumers to upgrade from PS4, 2025 is shaping up to be a challenging year for the industry."

Cole says DFC's updated forecast "will likely reflect these new realities," but agrees that "there is some upside" fꦆor the studios no longer competing with GTA 6 this year. "Additionally, the Nintendo Switch 2 may benefit as it will stand alone as the hot new product for 2𝓡025," he adds.

The sowing can sound good, but the reaping may come. As Circana games lead Mat Piscatella , the well-worn games mantra of 'survive to 2025' has now become 'survive through 2025' – a far more daunting challenge.

Likewise, Van Dreunen reckons that "the rest of th🙈e industry, meanwhile, is pulling back. Without GTA 6 to boost momentum, 2025 will be a cautious, quiet yea🐟r."

Piscatella additionally told us that "I don't think anyone benefits in 2025 from this," putting ⛦the boost fꦦrom a GTA launch on the scales.

"It would have also, if successful, brought potential growth months to the industry (again, particularly on the console side) and may have even worked to reinvigorate investor interest in the seg𝄹ment✅," he stressed.

Meanwhile, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is assuring shaky investors that the delay is justified and will be a net positive in the end, promising "a groundbreaking, blockbust𒁃er entertainment experience that exceeds audience expectations."

On the heels of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a hefty price hike from Xbox, "this week has certainly been nightmare scenario territory for the video game industꦦry forecas☂t," .

"It wasn't looming over the holiday season, it was going to be a big driver of what success potential the holiday season had," Pi🐷scatella told us of GTA 6.

GTA 6 delay was reportedly inevitable: "Nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed fall 2025 was a real window for a very long time now."

"Nobody I've talked to at Rockstar has believed Fall 2025 was a real window for a very long time now," according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schre📖ier, . "Too much work, not enough time, and what appears to be a real desire from management to avoid brutal crunch. GTA VI slipping to 2💃026 has seemed inevitable for months, if not longer."

Rockstar parent company Take-Two has repeatedly reasserted that GTA 6 would launch in 2025, though CEO Strauss Zelnick has acknowledged that "there's always a risk of slippa🌠ge." Today, Zelnick wrote that the company will "support fully R🎐ockstar Games taking additional time to 🅷realize their creative vision."

Assuming that the delay is, indeed, partly down to a "real desire" to avoid crunch, it's a remarkable turnaround for Rockstar's work culture. Widespread reports of brutal crunch hung over the release of Red Dead R♍edempt🐻ion 2 back in 2018ও, so hopefully things have g🍸enuinely improved at the studio in the years since.

As players, though... well, we've already waited 12 years for ꧅GTA 6. We can handle one more – assuming you're not holding out for thꦍe eventual PC version, that is.

Dig into our ranking of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Rockstar games of all time.

Circana games industry analyst Mat Piscatella has previously spoken about how he believes GTA 6 could be the most "important thing to ever release in the industry," noting early last year that the games market had to "survive 2024" and "get to GTA 6 and hope." N🔯eed💎less to say, it's no wonder that he doesn't think this delay is good news.

"Grand Theft Auto 6 is a game that would bring relapsed players back to the consoles in particular, and would have 𝔍been a driver of incremental hardware sales," Piscatella tells GamesRadar+ following the de꧋lay announcement today. "It would have also, if successful, brought potential growth months to the industry (again, particularly on the console side) and may have even worked to reinvigorate investor interest in the segment.

"I don't think anyone benefits in 2025 from this push," he ꦫcontinues. "It wasn't looming over the holiday sea♕son, it was going to be a big driver of what success potential the holiday season had."

Looking ahead to the rest of the year for the industry, Piscatella is now expecting total spending in the United States on gam❀ing hardware, a🧜ccessories, and content will "fall in the mid single-digit percentage range, with spending falling to the lowest level since before the pandemic." He adds: "Due to further uncertainties around pricing and product availability, there is also the potential for significant downside from there."

Between GTA 6's delay and the massive Xbox price hike from earlier this week, Piscatella further as💙 "nightmare scenario territory for the🙈 video game industry forecast," adding: "C'mon people. It was 'survive TO 25' not through."

: "GTA 6 getting pushed does not mean there will all of a sudden be a whole bunch of dollars available for other games in 2025. It just means that a bunch of 🌸the dollars that would have been spent on gaming this year h♔ave disappeared."

Take-Two CEO "fully" supports Rockstar's GTA 6 delay, promises "a groundbreaking, blockbuster entertainment experience that exceeds audience expectations."
