New trend, font, platforms and talk about the name – and this is “just” a teaser?

Less than two days left until the moment when will we see the first GTA 6 trailer. In the meantime, let’s talk a little about that teaser, which can already be safely called legendary. He literally tore up social networks and continues to set records there.

  • On X (formerly Twitter) Now all five of the most popular tweets in the Video Games category are from R* about the “six.” However, this will quickly change on Tuesday – there will be six of them.
  • On Instagram Either they deleted or archived all previous posts. Starting from scratch? Or just so as not to distract from the most important thing?
  • On Facebook.
  • On Telegram.

Furthermore. With one image, Rockstar Games started an entire trend. Nowadays, many studios copy the “rock stars”, announcing their announcements in the same style. And this is done not only by game developers, but also by figures in other fields. For example, in football. Moreover, this is used so often that, frankly speaking, it is starting to become boring. Here are just a few examples.

The announcement is reflected in both serious matters such as the creation of memes, and in not so important matters such as the growth of Take-Two shares.

Still have questions about the main December event in the gaming industry?

We talked about the influence of the teaser, now let’s move on to a closer analysis of the teaser itself.

The font used is completely new. Called GTAArtDeco, developed by Colophon Foundry and all rights to it belong to Rockstar Games. You can download it directly from the site, but in .woff format, which we have translated into the more common .ttf.

Interesting, that it was named for a reason, but in honor of the historic Art Deco district (aka the Architectural District) in Miami Beach. Game analogue from GTA: Vice City – Ocean Drive.

And if you go to the R* website, open a new banner and highlight the text there, three empty spaces become visible. Using the previous finding, they were decipheredand discovered the following symbols, including the old-school GTA logo from the last century.


Free spaces that can be found on the banner.


Symbols that should probably be located there.

All this adds even more mystery to the name of the game itself, which the Rockstar people referred to as “the next/new Grand Theft Auto” all the few times they were mentioned. Cleaning up IG, a new font that would hardly have been done if they had not used it to its fullest, the absence of the number six (it can only be remembered in the “teases” from the developers). Are we really waiting for a reboot of the series? However there is evidencethat when the copyright holder requests to remove screenshots from plum the project was still called GTA 6.

Information from Take-Two's request regarding the removal of GTA 6 drains.

We will find out how it will actually happen very soon – at 16:00 on Tuesday. We should be shown not only the new generation of Vice City, but also the logo (in a completely different or good old style?), and, perhaps, the main characters. But you shouldn’t wait for a release date, even an approximate one. As well as the list of target platforms. Although it can be listed as follows: the game will be released first on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and then, after some time, on PC. PS4 and Xbox One owners will probably be left out. Therefore, if you want not to miss the most anticipated new product of the last ten years, start thinking about buying new consoles. And computer owners are talking about a total update of their machines. But not right now, but a little later.
