It appears things have not been going in favour of Grand Theft Auto 6 fans in all aspects. While the internet is already flooding with GTA 6 delay memes, a recent development has disappointed the fans further.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 fans were recently let down after a popular theory predicting the release date of the game’s second trailer was debunked.

Popular known as the “moon theory” amongst GTA fans, his theory suggested that Rockstar Games might will plan its trailer drops with specific lunar phases. It turns out Rockstar isn’t planning GTA 6’s marketing around the moon’s cycles.

After the first GTA 6 trailer was released nearly a year ago, fans have been eagerly trying to figure out when the next one will drop.

They’ve analyzed everything from Take-Two earnings calls to the pre-release strategies used for previous Rockstar games like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

With no official updates from Rockstar, one particular theory gained traction among the community.

It started in September 2023, when Rockstar shared a promotional image for GTA Online featuring a Waning Gibbous moon. The real-life moon entered this phase on December 1, 2023, the same day Rockstar revealed the release date for GTA 6’s first trailer.

After the trailer, Rockstar released another GTA Online image showing a Waning Gibbous moon in November 2024. It sparked hope that a second trailer announcement might align with the lunar cycle once again.

Fans speculated that the next trailer could drop on November 22, 2024, when the Waning Gibbous phase ended. But that day has come and gone, with no new trailer or announcements from Rockstar, leaving the fanbase disappointed.

Many fans had pinned their hopes on the theory, especially since 9 AM ET is the usual announcement time for Rockstar and Take-Two passed without any updates.

However, there is still reason for hope even if the moon theory didn’t pan out as fans assumed.

Rockstar and Take-Two have repeatedly reaffirmed their confidence in GTA 6’s fall 2025 release window hinting that the next big reveal could be just around the corner.

So we can assume that while there is a delay, the wait for Trailer 2 might not be much longer.
