PARIS, Nov 6 — Online previews, a 26-minute Netflix teaser and media leaks and interviews have given Grand Theft Auto fans a taste of what awaits when the game’s latest title drops on November 19.

Here is what we know about the long-awaited entry in the Rockstar franchise which, despite the name GTA VI, is the eighth instalment in the series owned by US-based Take-Two Interactive.

Viewer discretion is advised: the realistic game features alcohol and drug use along with plenty of salty language in both English and Spanish.

Since its launch in 1997, GTA has been serving up a criminal underworld where players carry out heists and attacks in fictional — but increasingly realistic — American cities that can be almost infinitely explored.
