I’m almost scared of GTA 6. I look at Grand Theft Auto 5, and how it’s totally reshaped games and gaming culture, and I get the sense that the sequel is going to be so big, so tectonic, it’s going to create a whole new paradigm. There will be games as we know them before GTA 6, and games as we know them after GTA 6, and a new standard for the sandbox and open-world genres. Essentially, I’m excited. We all are. Six years since the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2, we now know for sure that Rockstar’s work on Grand Theft Auto 6 is well underway. Given that the first one has amassed 175 million views, a new GTA 6 trailer would likely cause some kind of electrical rupture in YouTube’s servers. For a moment, it seemed Rockstar had something on the way. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait a little longer.
