While you&#8217;re not <em>legally <\/em>allowed to do that in most territories, the next best thing is a digital tour of the wild side in the few games brave enough to offer your in-game character a bag of cactus buttons. Will GTA 6 continue a proud tradition pioneered by its predecessor in the space of expanding your mind and giving you a sneak peek at what awaits you when you reincarnate and return to nature? Will I become an alligator in digital spirit?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really, <em>really <\/em>hope so.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1797731\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GTAlligator.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1797731\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Just look at this handsome guy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In case you&#8217;re wondering what I&#8217;m on about&#8211;and why there&#8217;s more smoke coming from my office than demo day at a vape shop&#8211;I&#8217;m referring to the cover reveal for GTA 6. It has all the hallmarks of a typical GTA cover, splitting images of the game&#8217;s location, protagonists, and a helicopter across multiple panels. The cover also features this delightfully toothy fella, occupying prime video game cover real estate in the center:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people might say that the prime positioning of an alligator is meant to hammer in how the Miami-inspired location of Vice City also has its own version of the Florida Everglades, a region that&#8217;s naturally teeming with the predators. GTA 5 featured its own diverse biomes when it first launched, and one of the best things about that game was the recurring drug-fueled hallucinations players could dive into between missions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GTA 5 - Peyote Plants Location Guide (Play as an Animal)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aywjZ3rmvcI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those diversions were brilliant, a perfect contrast to the detailed world you inhabited as one of the three bipedal protagonists. Shifting from a beautifully realized simulation of modern-day life to inhabiting the body of a coyote wasn&#8217;t jarring; it was a reward. And considering how the state of Florida appears to exist in a bubble that&#8217;s a few steps removed from reality, completely detaching yourself from the human experience and becoming one with nature sounds thematically on point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s the point of all this? Admittedly, no one is going to buy GTA 6 for advanced alligator-simulator gameplay, no matter how well-designed the death-roll gameplay mechanics are, but Rockstar Games is at its best when it reminds players that its worlds can be believable <em>and <\/em>surprising. Contradicting reality with a wild flight of fancy leads to moments that fans will talk about for years to come, like jetpacks in San Andreas, running into a mournful sasquatch in Red Dead Redemption, or spotting UFOs in its sequel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 5 gave us hallucinogenic-fueled wildlife LARPing, and that&#8217;s the energy I&#8217;m hoping to see pop up again in GTA 6. I&#8217;m feeling confident that GTA 6 will provide dozens of hours of action, drama, heists, and talking points about chasing the American dream, but if I get the chance to spend 10 minutes terrorizing a golf course as an alligator, that&#8217;s the moment that I&#8217;m going to remember the most.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gamespot-blocks-embed-gallery\">\n<div class=\"image-gallery-collection\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"GTA 6: 178 Screenshots To Ease The Wait Image Gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"image-gallery-heading has-m-font-size\">GTA 6: 178 Screenshots To Ease The Wait<\/h2>\n<div class=\"image-gallery__main count-7\">\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Official_Cover_Art_landscape-Large.jpeg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Official_Cover_Art_landscape Large\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/gtavi-city-tennis-frame-1.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"gtavi-city-tennis-frame (1)\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/gta-bikes.webp?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"gta bikes\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4488919-ambrosia_02.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4488919-ambrosia_02.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4488920-ambrosia_03.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4488920-ambrosia_03.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4488921-ambrosia_04.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4488921-ambrosia_04.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image-gallery__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/original\/1179\/11799911\/4488922-ambrosia_05.jpg?w=1024\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"4488922-ambrosia_05.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<div class=\"image-gallery__item image-gallery__item--show-more\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tView Images\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/i-hope-gta-6-will-let-me-trip-balls-again-and-be-an-alligator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the dawn of time, humanity has yearned for one thing: to trip balls and return to nature.
