Grand Theft Auto 6 has been one of the most popular topics of conversation in the gaming world for almost an entire decade now, and it still hasn't even been officially revealed. Releasing all the way back in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 found immediate critical and commercial success, and naturally, it wasn't long before fans started to ask for more and speculate on when they'd get it, and that speculation has continued for almost 10 years at this point, with fan theories only getting wilder and wilder over time.

From its setting to its characters to its gameplay, every possible minute detail of Grand Theft Auto 6 has already been wildly speculated on, with a vast number of leaks and rumors cropping up over the years that confirm, deny, and contradict one another constantly. After all this time, Rockstar is finally getting ready to break its silence, with Grand Theft Auto 6 set to receive its first official trailer in early December, and when that happens, it'll put the final nail in the coffin of some of the game's most infamous rumors, one way or another.

Grand Theft Auto 6's Trailer Will Put A Ton of Rumors to Bed

Just a few short weeks ago, Rockstar Games broke the internet - and the rest of the gaming world - by announcing that a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is set to debut sometime in early December. While the contents of this trailer aren't known, it seems very likely that it'll shed some major light on some of the game's most important features, some of which have been the topic of conversation among fans for years now, and at the heart of some of the game's biggest leaks and rumors.

For instance, at the bare minimum, fans are expecting this official Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal trailer to finally confirm the game's setting once and for all. It's been heavily rumored for years now that GTA 6 will be taking players back to Vice City, and while the infamous leaks of last September would seemingly confirm that, Rockstar hasn't made any official announcements just yet. Similarly, it's expected that fans will get some kind of confirmation of who they'll be playing as in the long-awaited sequel, with the prevailing theory for a while now being a dual protagonist system that puts them in the boots of the first female protagonist in the GTA series, along with her partner in life and crime.

If Rockstar's last few reveal trailers are anything to go by, then Grand Theft Auto 6's debut trailer will likely revolve around the game's setting and main characters, showing more of the game's general vibes than specific gameplay sequences. But, there's always a possibility that Rockstar might end up showing a little more this time, potentially wanting to really showcase how the game stands apart from its predecessor, which is something fans have been worried about following those September 2022 leaks. If that's the case, then there are some long-standing gameplay rumors the GTA 6 trailer might also end up confirming or denying, such as the existence of more stealth mechanics and the return of the five-star Wanted system.

Fans Probably Haven't Heard the Last of GTA 6 Rumors

While the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will probably answer a good few long-standing questions that fans have had about the hotly-anticipated sequel, it can't answer everything in one go, especially if it's only a short cinematic teaser. Ironically, the existence of an official trailer might only end up fueling speculation even more than ever before, with fans now having some form of factual basis to make wild predictions. Fans can probably expect to see plenty more rumors following GTA 6's official reveal, and they aren't likely to end until release day.
