Rockstar Games have had the entire world’s attention in its pocket for the past couple of days. People can’t stop talking about the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, especially after it apparently leaked online. Now, it appears that Rockstar might have “accidentally” let slip how long the teaser is going to be.
Scheduled to premiere on December 5 at 9 AM EST, the upcoming trailer has already generated immense excitement, evident from the hundreds of thousands of eager fans liking the link within minutes of it going live. But, Rockstar might have underestimated the lengths that fans will go to just to find out more about GTA VI. Hidden in the metadata of the trailer is its length: 91 seconds, or one minute and 31 seconds, including splash screens. This duration gives fans a hint of what to expect from the reveal: a brief yet potentially impactful glimpse into the next Grand Theft Auto game.
The brevity of the GTA VI trailer has sparked speculation about its content. Given the limited time frame, it is reasonable to assume that the trailer may not delve deeply into story details, which is typical of initial game reveal trailers. Instead, it is likely to serve as an in-engine showcase, introducing the rumored Vice City setting and the dual protagonists, along with subtle hints of gameplay elements. This approach aligns with Rockstar’s history of using reveal trailers primarily to set the tone and atmosphere of their upcoming titles.
Unsurprisingly, the GTA VI trailer hasn’t remained leak-free. There’s even higher possibility of more leaks surfacing in the final hours before the premiere, which is a valid concern for both Rockstar and fans alike. Everyone is advised to stay on their toes to avoid spoiling the reveal with less than 24 hours remaining.
The length of the GTA VI trailer, while short, surpasses that of previous Rockstar Games reveal trailers. For instance, GTA V’s reveal was 1 minute and 25 seconds long, Red Dead Redemption 2’s was 1:09, and GTA IV’s was 1:03. This makes the GTA VI trailer the longest reveal trailer by Rockstar Games, tied with the original Red Dead Redemption’s reveal.
The anticipation for the GTA VI trailer is at an all-time high, and it has the potential to become the most-watched 91-second piece of advertising in gaming history. This reveal follows the massive success of Grand Theft Auto V, a game that redefined the video game industry with its live-service model and staggering sales figures. Fans are eager to see how Rockstar Games will push the envelope further with GTA VI, promising a new level of realism and scale.
While details are scarce, the excitement and speculation surrounding the reveal are a testament to the enduring legacy and impact of Rockstar Games’ flagship series. As fans worldwide prepare to tune in, the gaming world holds its breath for what promises to be a monumental moment in video game history.
Speaking of Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar might have revealed the release date for the next GTA title in a cryptic shirt released in GTA Online.
