GTA 6 Trailer 2 Reveals Bonnie and Clyde Story, Delayed to 2026, Impacting Gaming Industry
Rockstar Games released the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, offering fans a new glimpse of the highly anticipated game set in a modernized Vice City, with a focus on the story of dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, involved in a criminal conspiracy in the fictional state of Leonida. The trailer emphasizes character development and setting, with scenes depicting their life after a failed heist, and hints at a Bonnie and Clyde-style narrative. The game is scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, after being delayed from an initial planned release in fall 2025, to ensure quality. The delay has significant repercussions across the video game industry, as GTA V, which sold over 210 million copies, remains one of the most successful titles, and anticipation for GTA 6 remains high despite limited official information since the teaser in December 2023. Rockstar cited the need for extra development time to meet player expectations, with the delay announced via their website. The game’s delay has also heightened industry discussions, especially with Take-Two's upcoming financial report, where further details are expected.
