Fans of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) are buzzing with excitement and speculation after rumors of a second trailer release date surfaced online.
Following the first trailer’s release in December 2023, fans have eagerly awaited updates, but Rockstar Games has yet to confirm any official details.
On December 21, 2024, a user on X (formerly Twitter), named @remiremus_, shared a screenshot claiming the second trailer would drop on Friday, December 27, 2024, at 9 AM ET. The screenshot, allegedly linked to Take-Two Interactive, quickly gained traction among fans.
Timeline of the Leak
The rumors began when another leaker, known as “the leaker,” reportedly disclosed the date, which coincided with speculation circulating since late December 2024. Some fans pointed out similarities to a 2023 incident when the first trailer’s length was leaked days before its release.
In addition to @remiremus_’s post, other users on X, including @EchoeWeb, suggested alternative timelines for the trailer’s release, speculating it could come as early as May or as late as August 2024.
These predictions were supported by analyses from SynthPotato and GTAVI_Countdown.
Rockstar Gamesโ Security Measures
Rockstar Games has faced security breaches in the past, including leaks in 2023 that led the company to tighten its protocols.
Employees were reportedly called back to the office to minimize risks. While the recent rumors suggest another breach, the companyโs enhanced security measures make such incidents less likely.
Fan Theories and Merchandise Clues
Adding to the speculation, Rockstar Games recently sent GTA 6-themed merchandise to employees. Some fans believe the number “27” featured prominently in the merchandise hints at the December 27 release date. Pictures of the merchandise shared by Rockstar developers further fueled these theories.
Reality Check
While the leaked date has sparked excitement, it is important to approach the news with caution. Previous leaks have proven unreliable, and Rockstar Games has not made any official announcements. Fans will need to wait for confirmation from the company before marking their calendars.
Stay tuned for updates as the story unfolds.
