  • GTA: San Andreas remains iconic among gamers, despite mixed reactions to the 2021 remaster.

A talented Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas fan online has created an awesome concept trailer in Unreal Engine 5 that imagines what a potential sequel to the game could look like. While a direct sequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is unlikely at this point, it's interesting to see what it might look like in a modern game engine.

Over two decades after its original release, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas still has a massive legacy. Not only is it generally considered to be among the best PlayStation 2 games ever made, but it's also usually talked about when discussing the best-ever video games. For many gamers, it represents the pinnacle of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and it will take some beating. While the 2021 remaster, GTA: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition, was not received quite as positively, it's nowhere near enough to spoil the legacy it has for gamers.

Grand Theft Auto Fans Tricked By Fake GTA 6 Strip Club Leak

A fake Grand Theft Auto 6 leak featuring a strip club tricks multiple GTA fans eager for more news amid Rockstar's silence about the upcoming game.

YouTuber TeaserPlay shared the unique concept trailer, which sees GTA: San Andreas protagonist CJ return to a run-down Grove Street to reunite with his friends from the game. All the characters look considerably older than before, but are still totally recognizable, especially when footage is cut from the original game to show the relationships between them. The concept trailer ends with the Grove Street gang being confronted by a Ballas gang member, showing that some things never change.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2 Concept Trailer

Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest franchises gaming has to offer, if not the biggest. As a result, the series attracts plenty of talented fans online who love to share their creations, paying homage to the franchise. It's always interesting to see how gamers utilize their own talents in these kinds of tributes. For example, one Grand Theft Auto fan built a table inspired by the franchise, using their own unique skill set to show their love for the series.

It has been over a year now since Rockstar released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, and gamers are desperate to hear more about the upcoming title. Fans have been coming up with wild theories about potential GTA 6 trailer dates, but so far, none have proven to be correct. Given the game is still currently locked in for a 2025 release date, it would be a shock if more about the upcoming title wasn't released sooner rather than later. There's always the possibility that Grand Theft Auto 6 could slip to 2026, but even then, a lack of promotional material any time soon would be surprising.

Five years ago Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas — a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs, and corruption. Where film stars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers.

Now, it's the early '90s. Carl's got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading toward disaster.

On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.
