Summary
- Rockstar fans believe the studio just teased a Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 announcement in a new promotional image for GTA Online.
- The image features a moon in the Waning Gibbous phase, which will be present in real life on November 22.
- While the theory might seem outlandish, it has proven correct in the past for GTA 6's first trailer.
Grand Theft Auto 6 fans believe developer and publisher Rockstar Games has left a sneaky hint at when the highly-anticipated title’s second trailer will be announced. After revealing a new GTA Online update, fans noticed that the moon in the promotional image will enter into that particular phase later this month, suggesting that’s when Grand Theft Auto 6’s second trailer will be announced.
While fans often speculate on when new details for Grand Theft Auto 6 will be revealed, this wild fan theory actually has some substance to it this time. Although it might seem outlandish, prior to the reveal of the next Grand Theft Auto game in 2023, Rockstar published a new promotional image for GTA Online with a large moon in the background. The particular moon phase shown in the image was going to be present in real life on December 1, 2023, which is the very same day that Rockstar announced the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. Although this could definitely just be a crazy coincidence, fans are convinced the same thing is about to happen again.

GTA 6 Fans Think a New Trailer Is Imminent
Over on Reddit, user Fabrizerlo has caught the attention of the community after noticing an easily missable detail surrounding the new GTA Online update announcement. In Rockstar’s promotional image for the update, a large moon can be seen in the background. While this might not seem all too important at first glance, the phase of the moon shown in the image is Waning Gibbous and will next be present in real life on November 22, 2024. Considering this has happened before, fans believe that’s the date that Rockstar will announce new details for Grand Theft Auto 6’s second trailer.
Fans have already been speculating that new Grand Theft Auto 6 news will be revealed in November as Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is gearing up to present another quarterly earnings call. While much of the presentation will be merely financial numbers and business talk, the company has been known to present new details on upcoming titles, such as Grand Theft Auto 6, to boost its stock price before the meeting and therefore have encouraging news to discuss with shareholders.
With two perfectly plausible theories pointing at November for new Grand Theft Auto 6 news, the dry spell could finally be coming to an end. After revealing the game’s very first trailer back in 2023, official details surrounding the highly-anticipated title have been non-existent. Grand Theft Auto 6 has even passed an unfortunate milestone, becoming the first Rockstar game to go almost a full year in between trailers or screenshots.
