Stunning GTA 6 launch trailer revealed with 90 seconds of new footage
The new launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has just dropped - and it look sick.
As I'm sure you're aware, GTA 6 features two new criminal partners, Jason and Lucia, as the Bonnie and Clyde-style duo navigate a massive criminal conspiracy across the state of Leonida (based on Florida) and its neon-soaked hub, Vice City.
According to Rockstar, the duo has 'always known the deck is stacked against them'.
Advert
After an 'easy score goes wrong', they find themselves dragged into a world of crime, forcing them to rely heavily on one another to survive the underbelly of the state.
Now, taking to X this afternoon, Rockstar penned alongside the new video: "Watch the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer, featuring the debut of 'Flower in a Hurricane' from original score composers Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard."
Take a look at the new launch trailer below:
Players can switch between Jason and Lucia during missions
In an interview with Dazed, Rockstar said that Jason and Lucia’s bodies will change from overeating, under-eating and going to the gym.
Sort of like in real life, if either character eats too much they’ll put on weight. But if they work out they will put on some muscle.
In the big open world, gamers can fluidly switch between the pair during missions instead of being locked to one protagonist for an entire sequence.
So if Jason is travelling to a job, the player can drive as Jason and then switch to Lucia in the passenger seat.
It can be particularly helpful if a mission turns into a car chase and players can swap roles on the fly - from taking control of the character driving, then switching to the passenger to shoot at pursuing enemies.
You can scroll through an in-game social media feed
I'm not sure we need to be spending any more time on social media, but you can switch from Jason driving to Lucia in the passenger seat and scroll through the feed on her phone.
Characters like Real Dimez also have their careers and story developments reflected through viral in-game social media posts
