GTA VI: Everything We Know About Rockstar’s Next Game
▼ Summary
– GTA VI has been delayed multiple times, with its release now pushed to November 19th, 2026, a year later than originally planned.
– Early glimpses of GTA VI include a recent trailer showcasing protagonists Jason and Lucia.
– Rockstar Games faced leaks and accusations of union busting after firing over 30 employees just before announcing the latest delay.
The long wait for Grand Theft Auto VI continues, with Rockstar Games pushing its anticipated launch further into the future. Originally expected in fall 2025, the release has now shifted to November 19, 2026, marking a full year’s delay from the initial projection and another postponement from a later May 2026 date. This places the sequel’s arrival more than a decade after GTA V first launched, spanning two entire console generations.
Although fans must remain patient, the veil has been partially lifted on what to expect. A recently published trailer introduced the game’s dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Players will follow this pair through the sun-drenched, neon-lit streets of Vice City, a beloved location returning from the series’ past. Their story kicks off after a heist unravels, forcing them into a dangerous web of criminal conspiracy as they fight to survive.
The development journey for GTA VI has been notably turbulent, marred by significant early leaks that revealed unfinished content to the public. More recently, the studio found itself embroiled in controversy. Just days before announcing the latest delay, Rockstar terminated over 30 employees, leading to widespread accusations of union-busting activities. These internal challenges have added another layer of complexity to the game’s already protracted path to completion.
