After over 13 years since the release of the smash hit video game Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar Games has announced that preorders for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 will open on Thursday.
Rockstar Games shared the official cover artwork, announcing that the game will be released on November 19 of this year.
However, fans of the franchise have expressed their doubt that the game would ever be released after years of delays.
‘Before GTA VI came out’ memes return with a vengeance
For over a decade, the game has inspired the popular meme ‘before GTA 6,’ poking fun at the many delays Rockstar has announced over the years.
Even the White House joined in on the fun, sharing a post reading “We really saved America before GTA 6.”
“A lot has happened since GTA V was released. People have lost loved ones, changed careers, started families, gone through new trauma, and possibly become completely different versions of themselves. It’ll bring a little bit of peace into a lot of people’s lives when it finally releases,” one user wrote on the GTA Reddit forum.
