A new trailer for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI has been released online.
It comes four days after creators Rockstar Games announced that the launch date had been delayed until next year.
The highly anticipated release was set for late 2025 after a teaser trailer was released in December 2023.
Fans have waited over a decade for the announcement after the success of GTA V.
Gamers have now been given a glimpse of what’s in store when they finally get their hands on the new title.
A post to Rockstar’s official social media accounts on Tuesday said: “Watch Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 Now.
“Explore Vice City and beyond.”
After it was released to critical acclaim, the 2013 version of GTA became the second-best-selling video game of all time, behind Minecraft.
The series has been developed by Rockstar North, which was founded in Dundee and is headquartered in Edinburgh.
Fans will now have to wait even longer as a delay to the release was confirmed.
It is now set to come out on May 26, 2026.
A statement from Rockstar Games on Friday said: “We are very sorry that this is later than you expected.
“The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team.
“We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.
“With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception.
“We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.
“We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.”
The trailer for the sixth game features the Miami-inspired Vice City – the same setting as the famous 2002 game – and features fast cars, guns and even an alligator.
It also confirms GTA’s first female protagonist, Lucia, who is accompanied by a yet unknown male partner.
The game is expected to come to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
