At long last, the deafening silence from Rockstar Games about Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to be coming to an end. Earlier this week, the developer shared our first look at the game’s cover art and revealed that preorders will begin on June 25. One would assume that the prospect of preorders means a new trailer release is just around the corner too — and hopefully one that offers up some specifics about gameplay, rather than a purely vibes-driven experience.
As is tradition, this latest set of breadcrumbs from Rockstar has prompted an outpouring of speculation and theorycrafting. Fans are loving the toothy gator featured in the GTA 6 cover art, and they’re sharing that love all over social media.
Alligators are a common sight in the swampy regions of central and southern Florida, which is the inspiration for GTA 6‘s setting. They can weigh up to 500 pounds and measure up to 15 feet long from snoot to tail. They are definitely not vegetarians, though attacking humans is relatively rare. That said, Disney World has removed more than 400 gators from the resort after one killed a toddler back in 2016. You don’t have to think too hard to imagine all the potential hijinks that could result from mixing sleazy criminals with giant, deadly reptiles.
The gator’s prominent placement at the center of the collage has prompted some fans to start calling him “Auto.” Others have speculated the fearsome reptile might get his own mission in the game, like Chop the Rottweiler in GTA 5. Over the course of the game, Chop helps Franklin chase down a few baddies, and one X user speculates that we could see this toothy fellow take on a similar role in the sequel. “I’m convinced there’s at least one major mission involving an alligator in GTA VI, and possibly an entire side activity or encounter system built around Leonida’s wildlife,” they said.
