GTA 6 announcement called out by angry fans

It seems like patience is wearing thin for those excited for Grand Theft Auto VI with some fans questioning why Rockstar even announced development if it wasn’t going to post any further updates.

The development for Grand Theft Auto VI was officially announced by Rockstar in February 2022. Now almost two years on, the studio has yet to reveal any more information about the title which is making fans question why it chose to announce it so early. With possible release dates circling the internet and fans scouring leaks for anything official, it appears that Rockstar is keeping its cards close to its chest.

However, Rockstar’s choice to remain silent is not going down well with fans who recently took to Reddit to question the studio’s decision. “Why did Rockstar announce that they were working on GTA VI in 2022?” one post read. “Since their tease/announcement in February 2022, there has been no official info on the game. Why do you think they even announced it so soon if they’re not going to update us on the game’s development or release any promo?”

It appears many comments allude to Rockstar making the announcement as a form of damage control after the criticism that followed the release of the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021. It was called out for its outdated graphics and characters that looked worse in 2021 than they did in the early 2000s.

Another user thinks the studio is unsure what to do after a large amount of leaks surfaced online last year. “Honestly I think they keep changing their minds on what to do - I think they were thinking about revealing the game not long after the leaks, hence them saying we'll hear more about it in the coming months,” they wrote. “Pretty sure they mentioned it once more after that as well - but here we are almost a year later and nothing. My gut feeling tells me we won't get an announcement this year - but who knows only time will tell.”

We may never know why Grand Theft Auto VI is currently getting no publicity but it certainly hasn’t stopped fans from keeping the hype ongoing. Let us just hope the highly anticipated sequel is worth the speculation.
