While the Game of the Year race is heating up—with strong contenders like Split Fiction already making waves, and highly anticipated releases of Death Stranding and DOOM on the horizon—one title reigns supreme in anticipation: Grand Theft Auto VI. The burning questions on everyone's mind are: When will the next trailer drop? What's the official release date? And what exciting new features await? It's been over a year since Rockstar Games unveiled their first—and only—teaser, leaving fans hungry for more. Throughout 2024, radio silence reigned.
However, a glimmer of hope shines through. GTA VI O’Clock, a reputable Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insight. Based on their analysis of Rockstar's past marketing strategies, the second trailer is predicted to arrive in the coming weeks.
If the Fall 2025 release date, previously hinted at by Take-Two, remains on track, a new trailer would likely surface in March or April, kicking off a major marketing campaign lasting 5-6 months—a familiar pattern for Rockstar's previous game launches.
While GTA VI O’Clock speculates an early April reveal, the abundance of fan theories and rumors underscores the importance of waiting for official confirmation from Rockstar Games. Avoid setting your expectations on a specific date until an official announcement is made.
