The hype train for Grand Theft Auto 6 is alive and well, with fans now convinced that a second trailer will finally drop on December 3, 2024. The latest theory stems from the timing of the rumoured December update for GTA Online, which is speculated to arrive on December 10. The idea is that Rockstar Games could drop the trailer a week prior to the update to build hype and drive engagement with GTA Online.
Fan Theories Keep Rolling in
Since the release of the first GTA 6 trailer in December 2023, people have never stopped speculating when exactly Rockstar will bring more details. All over 2024, theories from the “moon theory” kept being tossed around and ultimately shot down, leaving people starving for official news. The new December 3rd theory was first introduced by Reddit users, relating the second trailer to last year’s strategy when Rockstar unveiled the first trailer before the update of GTA Online.
Though this timing would make much sense from a marketing point of view, Rockstar has kept mum, neither confirming nor denying it. Fans are left analysing every hint and rumour in the hope of uncovering clues for the much-awaited sequel.
The Bigger Picture for Rockstar
A December 3rd trailer drop would certainly be a shrewd business play by Rockstar. The new cutscene release would get fans hyped again for GTA 6 while keeping players engaged with GTA Online until the sequel hits in Fall 2025. With the possibility of synergy between a trailer and an online update, it is a plausible theory, even if speculative.
Despite Rockstar’s confirmation of the Fall 2025 release window during a recent investor call, there is a growing concern that the company is not being transparent about the project’s status. Rumours of internal setbacks emerged early this year, but those were quickly dismissed by journalist Jason Schreier and Rockstar employees. Still, the long silence has stirred the community to speculate more.
Patience Until Fall 2025
Grand Theft Auto 6 is perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited games in history, and Rockstar’s detailed approach has only made everyone wait with bated breath. Be it or not, on December 3rd, the theory will be put to rest, and fans will undoubtedly continue to dissect every shred of potential news until the next big reveal. All eyes are now on Rockstar to see if the second trailer lives up to the hype—and if it’s worth the wait.
