A first glimpse of the sixth game in the Grand Theft Auto series was finally revealed after the trailer for the long-awaited blockbuster was leaked.

Developer Rockstar pressed publish 15 hours before a heavily trailed release after a low-quality copy spread online.

The 90-second teaser confirmed the game will be set in Miami-inspired Vice City and star a female protagonist, Lucia, for the first time since the 1990s.

But the waiting isn’t over, as the game isn’t due to be released until 2025.

The latest main game in the series will be the sequel to 2013’s smash hit GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time, following Minecraft.

There have been seemingly endless rumors and leaks for the past decade about GTA VI.

The mere confirmation that a trailer was coming – an announcement of an announcement, if you will – was enough to spark global headlines in November as desperate fans sought out any information about the new game.

The trailer shows people racing cars, partying on boats, and a man pulling an alligator out of a swimming pool, all to the Americana sounds of Love is a Long Road by Tom Petty.
