The day is almost here, asGrand Theft Auto VIis just about a month away from finally coming out. But before that there’s still one more look from Rockstar Games, which just put out a brief “launch” trailer for the game. It doesn’t reveal much new, but the 90 second clip does give a good sense of the Miami-inflected vibe. It also includes a new track from electronic duo Justice, who are scoring the game. (As with past titles,GTA VIhas a huge focus on music.) Rockstar says the new trailer was captured entirely on a PS5.
The trailer also includes a brief new description for the game’s story, for those who haven’t been following along closely:
Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.
Of course, if you’re looking for more in-depth gameplay,Rockstar dropped a lengthy “extended look” back in August, which showed offjust how cinematic the experience is shaping up to be. Meanwhile, leaks from the game have continued to propagate on the internet, revealing some of the more, let’s say,sensitive elements of the experience.
Grand Theft Auto VIlaunches on November 19th on the PS5 and Xbox, a solid 13 years after the lastGTA—though we might not have to wait quite that long for its inevitable sequel.
