Rockstar Game<\/a>s parent Take-Two Interactive on Thursday said the eagerly awaited video game “Grand Theft Auto VI” will be released in fall of 2025.<\/p>\n

Rockstar had previously said the next installment to the blockbuster franchise would be available next year, without further details.<\/p>\n

The “narrowing” of the release came in earnings figures from New York-based Take-Two, though no firm date has been set.<\/p>\n

“Consumer anticipation for the title is unprecedented and our expectations for its commercial success continue to increase,” Take-Two said.<\/p>\n

But executives sidestepped questions seeking details about GTA VI during an earnings call.<\/p>\n

“Rockstar hasn’t given any details on what its expectations are for the release,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told analysts.<\/p>\n

“A wonderful trailer that they put out broke the internet and more news<\/a> will come from Rockstar in the fullness of time.”<\/p>\n

The trailer shows GTA VI will be set in fictional Vice City, reminiscent of Miami, and app<\/a>ears to feature the first playable female character in the franchise.<\/p>\n

Set to the Tom Petty song “Love Is A Long Road,” the GTA VI trailer opens with a female character named Lucia being released from prison in what appears to be a fictionalized version of Florida.<\/p>\n

Near the close of the one-minute-and-30-second trailer, she tells her male partner in crime: “The only way we are going to get through this is by sticking together, being a team.”<\/p>\n

The pair go on to burst into a store with pistols drawn and bandanas covering the lower halves of their faces.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to infer the scene meant rumors of a “Bonnie and Clyde” type crime couple are coming true.<\/p>\n

Released a decade ago, predecessor GTA V has sold more than 200 million copies, according to Zelnick.<\/p>\n

With the series<\/a>’ wild success has come plenty of controversy.<\/p>\n

Critics have from the beginning accused Grand Theft Auto of glorifying violence and encouraging players to engage in criminal behavior\u2014allegations Take-Two executives have denied.<\/p>\n

GTA V players sell drugs, fight, rob, go on car rampages and more.<\/p>\n

Gameplay options also included assaulting sex workers and going to strip<\/a> clubs, raising the ire of activists.<\/p>\n
