Rockstar Deletes All Instagram Posts Days Before GTA 6 Trailer

thegamer.com:

We're just days away from getting our first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, after Rockstar teased a reveal for a game that couldn't be anything but the long-awaited sequel. It wasn't clear at first how much info the reveal trailer would give us, but now, we can confidently assume that it's going to be huge, as Rockstar deletes all of its Instagram posts in preparation.

Right now, the only post on the Rockstar account is the GTA 6 tease that dropped yesterday, simply telling us that "Trailer 1" will go live on Tuesday at 9am ET. With every Instagram post being wiped, it definitely seems that Rockstar is preparing to go all out on GTA 6 promotion, meaning this first trailer is likely to give away a bunch of details, perhaps more than we might expect.

Right off the bat, the studio has new characters to introduce. Thanks to the huge leak last year, we already know that we have two player characters this time around, a couple called Lucia and Jason. Lucia will be the first female character to lead a game in the series, so that's a huge development. It's likely we'll see much of the pair on Rockstar's social media accounts, hence the studio making space on its Instagram.

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but multiple reports indicate that GTA 6 will launch in 2024. It will presumably be available on PlayStation and Xbox at launch. Given previous trends, it may come to PC at a later date.

With any luck, all of this hyping up for the trailed means we'll get a release date too. Sure enough, we wouldn't typically expect this from a reveal trailer, but considering we have a release date for the trailer itself, it's safe to say that Rockstar has set expectations pretty high here. That, and the game has certainly been in development long
