As 2024 draws to a close, the highly anticipated second trailer for "Grand Theft Auto VI" has yet to materialize, despite fervent global player speculation. While the game is currently slated for a 2025 release—barring any delays—over a year has passed since Rockstar Games dropped the first trailer in 2023. Beyond the trailer's chaotic "Florida Man" vibes and the general release window, little is known about the colossal title.
Consequently, eager players have been meticulously dissecting the first trailer, released on December 5, 2023, for any clues hinting at a second trailer's debut. This included widely discussed theories like the "moon theory," "car bullet holes," and "license plate numbers." As players have since discovered, none of these theories proved true.
While a former Rockstar developer suggested these wild conspiracy theories could be a form of guerrilla marketing, the development team might be reaching its breaking point. A Rockstar Games employee involved in "Grand Theft Auto VI" production finally addressed a recent theory: the belief that a new trailer would drop on December 27, 2024. This theory, and others, quickly gained traction online:
In reality, the notebook under the table was merely Joe's personal vacation planner, having absolutely no connection to the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI"'s second trailer.
Addressing the increasingly fervent and over-analyzing fanbase, the developer humorously responded on X (formerly Twitter). He quipped, "Next time I take a photo, I'll remember not to leave my vacation planning notebook in plain sight," playfully mocking the players' wild interpretations.
