It teases a 2025 release which means fans will still have to wait to play.
The sixth main game in the series will be the sequel to 2013’s smash hit GTA V, which became the second best-selling video game of all time, following Minecraft.
There have been seemingly endless rumours and leaks for the past decade about GTA VI.
The mere confirmation that a trailer was coming – an announcement of an announcement, if you will – was enough to spark global headlines in November as desperate fans sought out any information about the new game.
Originally developed in Dundee in 1997 by DMA Design, later known as Rockstar, GTA has been as critically and commercially successful as it has been controversial.
Questions were even asked in the House of Lords about the first game’s violent content.
The trailer shows people racing cars, people partying on boats and a man pulling an alligator out of a swimming pool, all to the Americana sounds of Love is a Long Road by Tom Petty.
It has taken a long time for the new game to come, and James Binns, chairman of gaming media firm Network N, said that might be explained by the sheer success of GTA V, which sold 190 million copies worldwide.
