Get ready for some wheels within wheels, as DiscussingFilm has revealed an animated trailer for a Grand Theft Auto 6 TV show—and I don't mean a trailer for a show about GTA 6, but a trailer for a show in GTA 6.
Macca and Friends, as the show is known, follows the adventures of a gang of anthropomorphic Floridian—Leonidan, I suppose—animals as they try to find their way in the world, accompanied to some extent by a beefed-up cop. The animals are cops too. It's a bit like Scooby Doo, maybe, but more egalitarian.
Rockstar hasn't said anything about the show, but this isn't the first appearance of Macca: A Macca and Friends mural appeared in a real-life BurgerShot that was set up in Miami's Kaseya Center in October, and a billboard for the show was erected in Miami as well.
Both advertised Macca and Friends as "coming November 19 on Weazel," a Fox-like television channel that exists within the GTA universe.
How much of an actual, full-on show Rockstar has constructed here, I cannot say. Remedy has done similar things with its games, but those are just brief snippets delivering a little bit of meta narrative; Rockstar, by comparison, gave us multiple stand-up comedy shows in GTA 5 and black-and-white films in Red Dead Redemption 2… not to mention, fully animated horse testicles. In that light, is it hard to believe they may have created an entire animated series for GTA 6?
It might just be another blast from the GTA marketing machine—Rockstar is also literally renting the Miami Heat to promote its game, after all. At this point I don't think anything's off the table.
PlayStation and Xbox owners will find out in less than a week: Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on November 19. A PC release date (or any kind of PC announcement at all) remains elusive.
