A new GTA 6 tease from a former Rockstar Games developer who worked on the game has Grand Theft Auto fans ready and excited for the game’s next trailer. which could be released later this month. When the game’s second trailer drops, fans should be prepared to be blown away, or at least that’s what the aforementioned developer is teasing.

In a recent interview, Ben Hinchliffe – a developer who left Rockstar Games in 2021, but not before working on GTA 6 – teased that the next installment will put up barriers just like Red Redemption 2 and GTA 5 before it.

Those who played Red Dead Redemption 2 will know that it was the most impressive open world to date when the game launched in 2018. Six years later and that hasn’t changed. We’ve had six years of releases and nothing has come close to Red Dead Redemption 2, which is not only a technical marvel, but brought to life the most addictive and emergent gameplay the industry has ever seen, and will likely ever seen until now. GTA 6 will be released next year.

“You just have to look at how every game that Rockstar has made has evolved in some way,” Hinchcliffe said while speaking with GTA VI Time. “And you could argue that the cloak forward… that every element of the game advances in terms of feeling more realistic and people acting and behaving more realistically as each game is repeated in each cycle.”

Hinchliffe continued: “It will blow people away. It will sell an absolute ton as it always does, right? People will be going at it for ages, just like GTA 5. And I’m really excited for people to get their hands on it and go in and play it, just because I think they (Rockstar) have raised the bar again just like I always do.”

Of course, Hinchcliffe worked on the game in some capacity and has worked at Rockstar Games for even longer, so take this tease with a grain of salt, but these are some big claims from the developer. That being said, to be fair, this is what everyone has been waiting for since GTA 6. There is a reason why it is the most anticipated release in the history of entertainment.

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch worldwide sometime during Holiday 2025 via PS5, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. For more GTA 6 coverage — including all the latest GTA 6 news, all the latest GTA 6 rumors and leaks, and all the latest GTA 6 speculation — click Here.
