The first trailer has been released for the massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI.<\/p>\n

It was put out a day earlier than expected after a leaked version went viral on social media on Monday.<\/p>\n

Rockstar Games posted on X: “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube.”<\/p>\n

The clip racked up 32 million views in just four hours such is the clamour for a peek at the game.<\/p>\n

The top comment, liked 343,000 times, says: “We’ve waited 10 years for this moment and it’s finally here.”<\/p>\n

GTAV is the best-selling title of all time behind Minecraft – with some 185 million units sold – but it’s been a decade since it came out.<\/p>\n

The trailer for the sequel shows a clone of Miami, the setting for the 2002 game, and features classic elements: fast cars, gangs, shoot-outs – and even an alligator in a convenience store.<\/p>\n

It’s also the debut of GTA’s first female protagonist, Lucia, alongside an unnamed male partner, with the couple apparently on the run as chaos engulfs the city.<\/p>\n

The teaser will whet the appetite of gamers but they’ll have to wait at least another year – the credits confirming “coming 2025”.<\/p>\n

Last year, 90 minutes of early gameplay leaked online<\/strong> after a hacker gained access to Rockstar’s Slack channel.<\/p>\n

In one of the industry’s most high-profile breaches, dozens of videos showing various robberies, shoot-outs, and open-world driving were posted online.<\/p>\n

Rockstar said it was “extremely disappointed” but insisted it wouldn’t affect the game’s development.<\/p>\n

Jason Schreier, Bloomberg’s gaming journalist, previously told Sky News<\/strong> that GTAV’s popular multiplayer mode was one reason why there hadn’t been “quite the same urgency” to get the sequel out.<\/p>\n

Earlier versions were released with much shorter gaps in between: GTA III in 2001, Vice City in 2002, San Andreas in 2004, and GTA IV in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
