New trailer released for Grand Theft Auto VI after delay announcement
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.

'GTA Paisley' game is capturing imaginations
Richard Gellalty was blown away when a video of gameplay posted by his girlfriend, the musician Linzi Clark, went viral on TikTok, receiving more than 30k likes and over 1000 comments. The clip showed a man in a hi-vis jacket running around a deserted Neilston Road at night in the pouring rain, to an atmospheric and ambient soundtrack. Many of those commenting celebrated similarities with the iconic Grand Theft Auto series, created in Dundee and Edinburgh by Rockstar Games, but set in fictional versions of cities in the United States. In the finished version the graphic designer says that gamers will be able to use 'a mouse/keyboard or controller to freely run around and interact' with characters and objects in order to uncover mysteries surrounding the town. Whether the project can become a playable third person game by next year depends on funding. At the time of writing, £3623 has been pledged through crowdfunding. Another £8377 is required by June 11 for the 34-year-old to receive any of the money, as Kickstarter funding is 'all or nothing'. Gellalty, who is known professionally as Bovine, needs help from fans to make the project a reality. Haddows features in the game (Image: Bovine) 'Anyone interested can share the Kickstarter link and encourage others to share it," he said. "The priority is getting as many people seeing the project and making it easy for them to decide if they like it enough to donate.' The self-taught developer learned how to use graphics and game software programs like Blender, Unreal Engine and GIMP in order to recreate his hometown of Paisley. This time-consuming task involves creating an entire 3D world with characters, soundtrack, story and puzzle development. Bovine says that the exterior or interior of one building 'starts to look acceptable with a few days' work, acceptable being white cubes that loosely resemble a building, and within a week it's mostly there.' READ MORE: Glasgow arcade fights anxiety with calm games and quiet sessions The artist has confirmed that the game's name will be 'Crystal Garden' after the much loved restaurant on Neilston Road. The takeaway will feature as a sanctuary for the main playable character, who his creator describes as 'a builder putting up high flats by himself, in the rain no less'. Further details on the story and character interaction are Kickstarter-dependent. Bovine wants to devote time to writing dialogue and would like to source local talent for voice acting, saying: 'It's a balance but I think it would add a lot to it if done right'. Different opportunities for involvement in the game's final form are accessible for those who donate. For example, £80 can get supporters a short clip of their voice featured as a response when the character uses a buzzer entry system. While it will need to be something that works in the game, Bovine says that the person speaking will have creative control of what they say 'within reason". (Image: Bovine) Bovine says that many have reacted positively online to the game being set in the 2000s. He believes that 3D worlds can trigger nostalgia more effectively than films, images and music due to the 'added interactive element' and that he'd 'like to show the game to people who know the area but have lost a connection with it'. One Instagram user described a clip of gameplay in the Lagoon Leisure Centre as 'haunting", saying the footage reminded them of "the mad wave noise" and smell of the chips served in the café. On whether the game will satirise Scottish society in the way that GTA satirises the USA, the developer states that satire 'goes hand in hand with mimicking reality', acknowledging that GTA's creators 'are obviously tenured experts at it'. READ MORE: Edinburgh: Scottish gaming industry celebrated in major new exhibition Elaborating further, he says that a lot of logos and trademarks will need to be changed, and shop names 'remade for the in-game world' which 'could potentially have nods to the real world equivalent in a similar way to GTA'. Alongside GTA, Bovine says Crystal Gardens will be inspired by multiple game universes. In particular, the Broken Sword series, which focuses on ancient mysteries and conspiracies. Other inspirations include Oddworld, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Courier Crisis, Namco Museum, and Men In Black. The synopsis on the Kickstarter hints at supernatural themes, but Bovine has confirmed the game will be 'probably more comically scary than serious', involving 'underground exploration'.
