The first trailer for the latest iteration in Rockstar Games’ legendary franchise, Grand Theft Auto, is finally here. Unfortunately, in addition to confirming that the game will take place in Vice City, it has also revealed that we’ll have to wait until 2025 to play Grand Theft Auto VI.
While details remain limited, the trailer takes place in a modern-day, GTA version of Florida called Leonida, and much of the action takes place in its version of Miami, Vice City. The video revolves around a character called Lucia, who will be the first playable woman in the series.
Lucia is initially shown wearing prison overalls, but quickly transitions to the outside world in the video. Throughout the video, there are multiple scenes of her wielding firearms, surrounded by stacks of cash, and concealing her identity with a bandana. These visuals hint at her involvement in nefarious activities, aligning with the typical traits of protagonists in the series’ extensive history.

In the video, Lucia and her unnamed male accomplice are driving around in what appears to be a pastiche of a ’70s Chevrolet Chevelle. However, in what I think was a really fun touch, they decided to make it the less popular four-door version, which makes it a cool, but not too cool car for the lead characters to be driving around in.
As we’ve come to expect from a game called Grand Theft Auto, the trailer is full of vehicles, including fake supercars that look just like the Porsche 911, the Ferrari Testarosa (that series fans may recognize as a Cheetah), a C8 Corvette, and a Lamborghini Aventador in front of a club. There are also cars that look like the Dodge Challenger and a Chrysler 300 at a takeover style event, a number of classic lowriders, and more.
It’s not just cars, though. There are also lifted trucks in the mud, motorcycles, ATVs, planes, boats, and, in ultimate Florida Leonida fashion, a fan boat. It all speaks to the expansive nature of what Rockstar is calling “the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.”
When it arrives in 2025, Grand Theft Auto VI will be available on the Playstation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.
