The year has already seen a lot of nostalgia through remakes and remasters, with Fortnite OG being the latest example. Now seems like Rockstar Games is also all set to bank on nostalgia with the most expensive entertainment product of all time. Recently, the developers dropped a trailer date confirmation for GTA 6.

Now, all the veterans of the game might know this cannot be just a trailer date announcement. The post, which is also the updated logo of the developers, has a lot to say about what can the players expect from the game. Does the backdrop look familiar? You’re not the only one. The announcement certainly drops a strong hit at the fact that GTA 6 will be taking the fans to a new ‘revamped’ version of Vice City. 

The theory of GTA 6 bringing the old days of Vice City back isn’t a new one though, but a supposed tease that aligns with the theory. 

Looking back at the leaks that claimed the Vice City theory 

There have been plenty of leaks that alleged that the developers would be introducing a revamped map of the iconic Vice City in GTA 6. However, with so many speculations surfacing about the project, there wasn’t any official confirmation of the same, until the biggest leak episode of September 2022.
