With little greater than a graphic with heat sundown tones, palm timber, and the phrases “Trailer 1, December 5, 9 AM ET,” the developer set followers into an absolute frenzy.
I do not know the way I did not see it coming, however that template has proved prime fodder for tons of others to hop straight on the hype prepare. The times since Rockstar’s reveal have seen CD Projekt Crimson apology ranges of mimicry and memery. Whereas the Cyberpunk template was principally utilised by followers—particularly since makes an attempt by precise builders, like in Responsible Gear’s ArcSystemWorks’ case, weren’t obtained too properly—this one has been co-opted by quite a few builders.

Fall Guys’ Mediatonic appears to have been one of many first to hop on the pattern with their very own rendition, giving certainly one of their phases the identical pinky-purple hue to announce a trailer approaching December 6. Different video games like Halo Infinite, Overwatch, and Call of Duty swiftly joined in with GTA 6-themed announcement posts of their very own, with the primary two on December 4 and the latter on December 6.
It is even managed to develop past videogames, with the freakin’ official São Paulo City account tweeting in regards to the nation’s Samba Day utilizing the Rockstar format. If that is not an indication of how a lot attain such a easy graphic has had, I do not know what’s.
It is smart for thus many manufacturers to be leaping in for their very own slice of the hype pie, particularly with one thing that is shortly turning into extremely recognisable with comparatively little effort. There’ll little question be loads extra Rockstar replication moments sooner or later. For now, we have now Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer touchdown tomorrow (December 5) at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET/ 2 PM GMT to choose aside frame-by-frame.
