   Rockstar calls it an extended look, not Trailer 3

   Confirmed

   The official name is "An Extended Look". Rockstar gave no running time, published no list of what it contains, and did not promise gameplay. Netflix framed the deal through its vice president of nonfiction series, Brandon Riegg, as debuting the next part of the Grand Theft Auto story with its members first. We keep calling this entry Trailer 3 because that is what the third video in the series is known as.

   A story-heavy look at Lucia and Jason is still only the expectation

   Rumor

   Press and fans expect voiced scenes, new corners of Leonida and maybe a first HUD glimpse, on the logic that pre-orders already opened without a trailer, so this one is free to sell the story. None of that is in the announcement, so it stays labeled as expectation until the video airs.
