Grand Theft Auto 6's debut trailer has been hilariously recreated in the weird and wonderful Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.
Twitch streamer Micky D posted the parody trailer on the website formerly known as Twitter earlier this week on January 3, with Tom Petty's pulsing rock song Love Is A Long Road playing over Morrowind’s polygonal alien world, just as it did in GTA 6's first trailer.

As the music begins to crescendo, the trailer's camera pans through Morrowind's strange world, replacing shots of GTA 6's beautiful sun-kissed coasts with moody lakes. Shots of badass jet skis are replaced with a jagged ship. Most hilariously, shots showing alligators and birds were replaced with the towering jellyfish critters that haunt Morrowind.
Things even get a little risque as we see women suggestively dancing - if that’s what you call it - in a bar/barn, and Morrowind’s wild NPCs giving GTA 6’s satirized social media clips a run for their money. Morrowind's quirks are still beloved in the community, despite some aged design, and I’m always happy to see new, hilarious content mined from its one-of-a-kind personality.
Good thing too, since we probably won’t see an official second GTA 6 trailer in quite some time. Internet sleuths theorize that another trailer is due next September, based on gunshots in the key art that supposedly spells a message braille. The game is slated for a 2025 launch, so we'll likely be waiting months for our next look, whether the fan theories are true or false.
While we wait, discover the strange story of GTA 3’s most mysterious cut character who has speculated ties to terrorism.
