There is no video game comparable to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI. We already know before it comes out, thanks to decades of ambitions, at the time necessary for its creation and the vast expectation it generated – a wait that promises to monopolize the attention of millions of players in the first year. On 19 November will be the launch of a title destined to redefine the standards of the genus, with Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval to the helm of an epic story of robberies and dangers in Miami and South Florida of the present. The game will offer an unparalleled “open world” where players can explore an immense map and immerse themselves in an experience full of activities: from the end of the main plot, with the two protagonists involved in bold blows and intrigues of all kinds, to the free exploration of the city and its surrounding areas. You can commit crimes at will, mobilizing the army against you, or devote yourself to more peaceful pastimes as driving a taxi admiring the landscape or simply spending hours at the gym. The anticipations suggest an unprecedented level of detail and variety: sports such as basketball and fishing can be practiced, as well as training in the gym, reporting elements already present in the series but high to a new standard. The Grand Theft Auto saga, born in 1997, has had a huge influence on the video industry in the last twenty years, becoming one of the most sold and appreciated series ever. Rockstar Games, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, worked at Grand Theft Auto VI for at least eight years, and his predecessor was the second most successful game in history, surpassed only by Minecraft. The huge hype surrounding the title – witnessed by the presentation of the first exclusively Netflix sequences, seen by over 30 million viewers – confirms it as the most anticipated pop event of the year. According to Washington Post, “Grand Theft Auto VI is the biggest pop event in this year’s media, if not the decade.” L’hype attorno a Grand Theft Auto VI è palpabile, e la combinazione di un mondo aperto senza precedenti, l’ambientazione in luoghi iconici come Miami e la Florida del Sud, e il ritorno di Jason Duval e Lucia Caminos sembra destinato a creare un fenomeno culturale. Il fatto che anche il Washington Post lo consideri il più grande evento pop dei media dell'anno, con oltre 30 milioni di visualizzazioni su Netflix, è un indicatore della portata prevista per questo titolo. Resta da vedere come Rockstar Games gestirà l’attesa e se il gioco riuscirà a mantenere le alte aspettative, ma al momento si tratta di un lancio che promette di ridefinire il genere open-world per gli anni a venire.
