The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as Rockstar Games has officially unveiled the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) following an unexpected leak on social media. The eagerly-awaited trailer confirms the game's setting in Vice City and introduces the series' first female protagonist named Lucia. Gamers will experience Lucia's journey, which interestingly starts off in jail. The trailer, rich with a Florida vibe—complete with alligators and car-related crimes—is set to the tune of Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road". Rockstar's reveal shows not only Lucia but also her apparent partner, as they navigate their life of crime together with a promise of teamwork.

GTA 6 has been a topic of high speculation ever since the release of GTA 5 in 2013. Despite a setback last year with leaked development footage that led to an arrest, Rockstar managed to sustain the hype. The leak actually triggered the early release of the trailer that was originally slated for a later date. With the trailer's launch, expectations are high for Grand Theft Auto VI, which was officially announced to be in development in 2022. The release date is currently set for 2025, and fans are eager to see how Rockstar will innovate within the iconic series. Optimism is high, as projections hint at significant financial growth tied to the launch of this highly anticipated title.
