Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release date is finally upon us, as confirmed by Rockstar Games via a tweet. The first footage from the highly-anticipated crime odyssey sequel will be out on Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30pm IST in India/ 9am ET in the US, with the publisher only posting an image of a sunset and palm tree silhouettes — confirming previous claims that it's set in a fictionalised version of Miami, which franchise veterans might recognise as a return to Vice City. With that, it is clear that Geoff Keighley won't be…

Absurd Ventures, the new creative studio from Rockstar Games co-founder and ex-creative director Dan Houser, has announced its first projects. As it happens, neither of them are video games, at least not yet.The first of these two new universes is called American Caper, which will debut as a graphic novel. It will focus on two normal but damaged families who are mired "in a world of corrupt business, inept politics and bungling crime." Comic book artist Simon Bisley (ABC Warriors, Lobo) is illustrating the graphic…

A pair of veteran Rockstar employees have joined Dan Houser’s new studio, Absurd Ventures. As noted by BeGeek and reporter Stephen Totilo, Lazlow Jones joined Absurd Ventures in June 2021, and is also listed on LinkedIn as being a “founding member of Absurd Ventures, a media company creating new IP, building narrative worlds and writing stories for a variety of genres.” Jones was previously in charge of producing dialogue for the GTA series, in addition to appearing in the series as a satirical version of himself. He…

Fifty-six years and 49 albums into her music career, Dolly Parton has a new milestone to celebrate. The country legend’s album Rockstar recently became the singer’s highest-charting LP ever, debuting at Number Three on the Billboard 200 chart. “Wow, this is a big thrill!” Parton said in a statement. “I owe a thank you to the fans who have always been there for me. Their support made this achievement possible.” “I’d also like to thank my producer Kent Wells, all the wonderful artists, musicians, and engineers…

Rockstar has removed the Social Club branding from its website, presumably in anticipation of GTA 6. As per the news account @videotechuk_ on Twitter, the publisher has replaced the nomenclature with simply ‘Rockstar Games' and scrapped any references to ‘Social Club members.' The online gaming service is also missing the old logo now, though players can still engage in multiplayer elements and accrue member-exclusive rewards from games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. For now, it's unclear whether…

We’re not far off having our eyeballs exposed to the first official GTA 6 trailer. Until then, let’s talk about the classic games in Rockstar’s iconic series. Hey, did you know there was a point when Vice City (easily the best entry – I will fight you all) nearly wasn’t its own game? According to a blog post from Obbe Vermeij – former technical director at Rockstar Games – the follow-up to Grand Theft Auto 3 was just going to be a mission pack. Vermeij said the team had the idea to have a game set in the 80s in…

Rockstar Games, makers of the incredibly popular Grand Theft Auto series, finally announced earlier this month that they would officially reveal GTA 6 in December. In a series of posts from Rockstar's X account, studio co-founder Sam Houser confirmed that the much-awaited trailer for GTA 6 would arrive in December. A new leak, however, has unearthed evidence about scrapped story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5. First released in 2013, GTA 5 still features on best-selling charts every month a decade into its run, thanks to GTA…

Dolly Parton couldn’t wait more than a weekend to start expanding her new rock album, Rockstar, quipping on Instagram yesterday, “Surprise! Did you all think I was done?” As part of the “download exclusive version” of the album, Parton has tacked on two extra tracks: A new rendition of her classic “Jolene” featuring Måneskin, as well as a cover of Eddie Money’s 1977 hit, “Two Tickets To Paradise. As it stands, the two bonus cuts are only available if you purchase the downloadable version of Rockstar on…

At 30 tracks, and featuring upwards of 40 guests, this rock album from one of country’s most famous and resonant voices all too often resembles a shaggy behemoth hell-bent on overkill. Bygones – an original composition – finds Parton alongside Rob Halford from Judas Priest and Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, the latter fighting Parton for the hairspray. An overegged cover of Let It Be ropes in not just Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, but Peter Frampton and Mick Fleetwood too. Lead single World on Fire, on which Parton rails…
