GTA 6 Takes the Crown as Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards 2024
Grand Theft Auto 6 is winning awards before its release, securing the Most Anticipated Game title at The Game Awards 2024.
Rockstar Games' upcoming title, Grand Theft Auto 6, has solidified its status as the gaming world's most highly anticipated title by winning the "Most Anticipated Game" award at The Game Awards 2024. This recognition comes after previously securing the "Most Wanted Game" title at the Golden Joystick Awards, building excitement for the next installment in the GTA franchise.
Beating out formidable competitors like Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, Ghost of Yotei, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Monster Hunter Wilds, GTA 6 is already winning awards before release. The game's first trailer, released in November 2023, has already amassed over 200 million views on YouTube and contributed to a 30% increase in Take-Two Interactive's share price.
What We Know So Far
Last year's teaser offered a peek into the game's world, featuring characters engaged in criminal activities and interactions with law enforcement. What caught most people's attention is the introduction of a female protagonist named Lucia, who will be part of a duo alongside her partner, whose name is yet to be revealed.
The game's expanding character roster includes personalities like Stefani, a correctional counselor, and several other supporting characters including Wyman, Dre, Sam, Kai, Billy, and Zach. Fans are eagerly speculating about how these characters will interact and drive the narrative.
Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has confirmed that GTA 6 is set to be released in fall 2025. However, industry insiders have suggested that the game might potentially slip into 2026, though Take-Two has not made any official comments in regards to this.
Despite over a year passing since the first trailer, Rockstar has maintained an air of mystery around the game. Fans continue to hope for additional trailers, screenshots, or more detailed information about the game's storyline and gameplay.
