• Rockstar Games has released a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer
• It reveals the game's cover art
• We also now know the pre-order date

Rockstar Games has released a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, but it's perhaps not the kind that you might have expected.

Rather than showing us new GTA 6 gameplay, the trailer gives us our first look at the game's official cover art and, in my eyes, it's pretty slick. The design follows the same general style as the Grand Theft Auto 5 cover, with lots of little panels containing character vignettes.

It features dual protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in a prominent position, surrounded by iconography inspired by the Vice City setting and traditional GTA staples. There are plenty of guns, of course, alongside Florida animals like a flamingo and an alligator.

You can see the cover art for yourself in the trailer below.

The cover art isn't exactly breaking any series conventions, but in my opinion it looks pretty great. I feel like the pink and purple hues really captures those almost tropical Vice City vibes. It looks pleasantly retro, but also appropriately modern and slick.
