GTA VI Trailer 1: The Return to Vice City

Ninety-one seconds was all Rockstar needed for GTA VI’s first reveal. Published on December 4, 2023, Trailer 1 introduced the next game’s setting: Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida.

Independent reporting based on official sources. Not written or endorsed by Rockstar Games.

The original announcement matters because it names a state, rather than limiting the game to the city. Vice City is the familiar draw; Leonida gives the return room to develop its own identity.

The places beyond Vice City

Rockstar’s later screenshot collection puts names to more of that state: Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Grassrivers and Mount Kalaga National Park each have their own sets alongside Vice City. These are official location labels, so they offer a firmer starting point for exploring the setting than a fan map’s guessed boundaries.

An old release window is still in the archive

The December 2023 announcement targeted 2025. That window has been superseded by the current November 19, 2026 date. Keep the trailer for the reveal, and the release-date page for planning.

Where to go after the first trailer

Trailer 2 runs 2:47 and is the next stop for the story setup. With Trailer 1, that makes a 4:18 catch-up. Add the 26:48 Extended Look when you have half an hour for the longer presentation.
