‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ trailer soundtracked by Tom Petty’s ‘Love Is A Long Road’
Grand Theft Auto VI features Tom Petty‘s song ‘Love Is A Long Road’.The first trailer for the highly anticipated new instalment to the classic video game finally arrived today (December 5) after it was leaked online a few hours prior.While the new trailer does not include an official release date for the game, it suggested a release window of 2025.Soundtracking the trailer is Petty’s song from 1989 album ‘Full Moon Fever’, which was released as a B-side to his hit single ‘Free Fallin’’.The synth-rock track is played over a montage of clips from the new game, including boat parties, car drifting and store hold-ups, as Petty sings that love is a “long, long road”.Rockstar is taking players back to Vice City for Grand Theft Auto 6, and will this time introduce the series’ new female protagonist, Lucia, with Bonnie and Clyde-type story elements.The song appears to be fitting for the new love story that’s teased, which features a clip of a couple discussing the importance of trust before bursting into a store with masked faces and wielding guns.Co-written by guitarist Mike Campbell, the song was said to be inspired by a motorcycle he owned. “I was really into that frame of mind,” he once said, per Rolling Stone.
