This guy says it will have male and female protagonists and be set in Miami

Time for a gta 6 thread yet?

to be fair those rumours have been going around for a while now, and I don't believe Rockstar have confirmed anything other than that they are working on the game.

Strong possibility on both accounts though. Agree about a new thread, happy to endulge in any speculation etc on the next game.

If it's not set in Vice City I will be astonished.

So ready for this, I haven't played a game since Red Dead 2

You and me both
And I haven’t even finished rdr yet

It's been long enough since I finished (and tried multiplayer for 5 minutes before realizing how little interest that held for me) that I'm tempted to buy a PS5 to play it again.

Ilx online crew

ha i was still using the ilx crew tag on gta 5 online recently, until friend wanted a new crew

TRAILER 1
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5
9AM ET

nice

I think I've actually got a back appointment at that time, but will catch it after

yeah, have to stop by the optometrist's myself

Depending on when it comes out and how soon I can get a cheaper version of it, there's a good chance I play GTA6 before I play GTA5 (I haven't played any of the games before).

lol old gamers (of which I am one -- I've realized that I can't see the TV as clearly if I'm playing in my glasses instead of my contacts, for some reason).

Tom Petty?

GTA: wilburys

He's from Florida.

Oof

is it 2025 yet ffs

dropped it early huh. Just had sneaky watch at work but will go over it again when i get home.

Trailer seems to really push the spring break vibe though, urgh. Hoping it's just something for the trailer, and not a main focus in the final game.

DELAYED AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2026 OH MY GOD

is it 2026 yet ffs

FFS - what am I supposed to do until then?

Lol, no shock there. Just wait until it finally shows up and costs $100.

$100? In 2026 it's gonna be $150.

yeah not a surprise, it's been suspiciously quiet hasn't it. Normally they'd have about three more trailers out by now.

Apparently when they (inevitably) delayed RDR2 they did so with at least a few stills or another trailer. But here? Nada (so far). A lot of people positing that "Ghost of Yōtei" announced because they saw the writing on the wall, and with fall suddenly open we might see a few other heavy hitters show up earlier than expected as well.

New trailer: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

used to roll my eyes at my parents when they asked me "what are you watching" when i was playing video games, but, uh, now idk if i would

lot of new screenshots released too, although many were giving me an uneasy vibe of Saints Row.

It's definitely in the uncanny valley now.

The booties overall seem big big big.

There's no way I will ever play this game btw. My daughter's Switch is the last console I'll ever buy.

Hopefully the new announcement that it won't arrive before Nov. 2026 means that Rockstar can finish its rumored next gen RDR2 upgrade.

they're prioritizing union-busting over finishing the game, i guess

new announcement that it won't arrive before Nov. 2026

Really? geez

starting to feel like this could be a new jersey

I saw someone morbidly, mournfully state that this will likely be the last GTA they will get or play in their lifetime.

This is what I saw in Bloomberg:

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI again, pushing back the much-anticipated video game by six months to November 2026.

In a statement Thursday that accompanied quarterly results, Take-Two said it’s giving the Rockstar Games “team some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve.”

The delay to Nov. 19 of next year means costs to complete the game continue to mount. It’s the second public delay for Grand Theft Auto VI, which was originally slated for release in fall 2025 before it was pushed to May of next year.

Grand Theft Auto VI, a crime story set in a fictional version of Miami, is expected to be one of the most lucrative video games of all time. The previous game, Grand Theft Auto V, has sold more than 220 million copies, making it the second-best-selling game ever, just below Minecraft.

Shares of Take-Two fell about 7% in extended trading after the delay was announced, overshadowing quarterly results that topped Wall Street estimates.

“It’s always painful when we move a date,” Chief Executive Officer Strauss Zelnick said on a call with investors. “We’ve never regretted it in retrospect.”

Zelnick added that rival game companies have released unfinished products in the past rather than delaying. “They did so at their peril,” he said.

For the second quarter ended Sept. 30, Take-Two reported bookings of $1.96 billion, beating estimates of $1.72 billion. Adjusted earnings came to $1.46 a share, above estimates of 94 cents.

Last week, Rockstar Games fired more than 30 staffers in a move that led British labor organizers to accuse the company of union busting. The company told Bloomberg that the fired employees were leaking confidential information.
