Cover Art and Pre-orders – Finally More About GTA 6

This is seen on the cover art: The cover art for GTA 6 is again in the typical style of the series, essentially a tiled collage showcasing various vehicles and characters from the game. Alongside protagonists Jason and Lucia, we see an alligator, a speedboat, a helicopter with floats (looks like the Sea-Sparrow from GTA V), a motorcycle, and a yellow sports car.

With the announcement of when you can pre-order GTA 6, Rockstar Games also released a short trailer for the cover art of the game. You can see this trailer here:

Finally, there is news about GTA 6: This is what the cover art looks like

These are the first reactions to the teaser or the cover art: Many comments show that the start of the pre-orders and the reveal of the cover art give impatient fans the feeling that it is really happening and the game will actually be released at the end of the year.

One user commented on YouTube, saying: “The fact that this is no longer a dream feels surreal.” Others wrote that they replayed the video multiple times from the beginning.

Additionally, the helicopter in the upper left corner of the cover art is being actively commented on. Rockstar Games has thus adhered to an old tradition: Past cover arts have always depicted a helicopter there – often a police helicopter, with GTA 5 featuring the armed Buzzard (a Little Bird).

Along with the announcement of the pre-orders and the new cover art, there was also a short scroll video for Vice City – this is what the city looks like in GTA 6:

Rockstar Spreads New Info on the Website

This is also new: On the Rockstar Games website, the developer studio has published a text that provides new background information on the story of protagonists Jason and Lucia:

“As a simple crooked thing entangles Jason and Lucia in a criminal conspiracy spanning the entire state of Leonida, the young criminal couple finds themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in all of America – forced to rely on each other more than ever before if they want to survive.”

GTA 6 will take place in the fictional metropolis of Vice City, which is inspired by Miami in the US state of Florida. Vice City is characterized by a tropical climate and will feature a large sandy beach with a promenade and a vibrant nightlife. Additionally, there will be surrounding swamplands, a national park, as well as the small towns of Port Gellhorn and Ambrosia.
