It’s been 13 years since Grand Theft Auto V launched – a long time ago. An extended absence that not only means anticipation for the much-delayed GTA VI is sky-high, but also meaning that the entire entertainment landscape has shifted in the interim. And so, with the game seemingly set for release at last this November, our first proper look at what developers Rockstar have cooked up over the last decade-plus is coming from an avenue that barely existed the last time a GTA title dropped.
Netflix has confirmed that it will be releasing an ‘Extended Look’ special for Grand Theft Auto VI on August 27 – dropping at 3pm ET, which is 8pm in the UK. What exactly the special involves is tbc, but it’s being described as “an extended look at the next evolution in the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto series”. Our best guess? A gameplay deep-dive, hopefully showing proper in-game footage from one of the most hotly-anticipated entertainment releases of all time.
“Grand Theft Auto reveals have become cultural moments in their own right,” says Netflix’s VP of Nonfiction Series, Brandon Riegg, in a statement. “The anticipation and fandom around Grand Theft Auto VI is unprecedented, and we’re honoured that Rockstar Games has partnered with us to debut the next part of the Grand Theft Auto story with Netflix members first.”
If you’re even vaguely interested in GTA VI, this special sounds like your best bet to get an early peek before the game launches on November 19. The WANTED rating will be extremely high for this one.
