GTA 6 release date ‘news’ horrifies fans after shock Rockstar announcement

GTA fans fear they could be waiting for the next game in the series much longer than they had hoped.

Gamers have been desperate for a release date window and thought details might emerge during an important business update held by publishers on Monday.

But their dreams were dashed, after Rockstar Games owner Take-Two Interactive gave zero clues about when GTA 6 will land.

In fact, a presentation has led to fears the wait could be considerably longer.

A slide of plans for 2023 to 2025 revealed on Twitter showed no sign of GTA, so we could be looking at no earlier than 2026.

“So GtaVI is faaaasaaar away,” one player wrote on Twitter.

“Oh boy more GTA remasters and not GTA 6. Yawn,” another reacted.

Though nothing is confirmed as yet.

Rockstar may be eager to keep things under wraps a while longer before giving any launch dates.

“They wouldn’t put GTA 6 on something like this no matter what,” one user guessed.

“This is only for publicly announced games.”

The document said as much too, teasing that “it is likely… that we will also be adding new titles to our slate”.

So all hope may not be lost just yet.

Grand Theft Auto’s last main series title, GTA V, was released way back in 2013.

Rockstar only announced that a new entry in the franchise was in “active development” in February.
