The release window for the highly anticipated has been narrowed down further, but may still come as a disappointment to some fans. In December 2023, Rockstar Games provided a first look at the upcoming title in a record-breaking cinematic trailer that confirmed the return to Vice City and the surrounding areas in Leonida and introduced its protagonists, Lucia and Jason, although the latter was never named in the footage. The trailer ended with a vague 2025 release window, and fans have been speculating exactly when in the year the game could be released ever since.
