After a low-quality copy of the trailer circulated online, developer Rockstar released the video 15 hours before the official release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 90-second teaser confirmed that the game will be set in Vice City, a Miami-inspired setting, and will feature main protagonist Lucia for the first time since the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the wait is not over yet, as the game is not expected to be released until 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest game in the series will be a sequel to the 2013 blockbuster GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time behind Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have been seemingly endless rumors and leaks about GTA VI over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mere confirmation that a trailer was coming was enough to spark a flurry of headlines in November as desperate fans searched for any information about the new game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trailer features people racing cars, partying on boats, and a man pulling an alligator out of a swimming pool, all set to the American sounds of Tom Petty's Love is a Long Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGamer\u201d Jess, known online as \u201cRage Darling,\u201d is usually known for her multiplayer RPGs, but she said she had \u201calways been keeping an eye out\u201d for the upcoming game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you're not at all interested in GTA, you're pretty much the black sheep at this point. That's such a big deal<\/em>,\u201d she told BBC Newsbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added that the series had "always been a man's game," but the new female perspective excited her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it's been a long time since the protagonist - the last one was on the original PlayStation console - he believes the impact on the wider industry will be huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I think this will show a lot of other game developers and AAA developers that having a woman at the center of the action is not a problem<\/em>"," she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
