Wild new GTA 6 trailer 2 release date ‘number’ theory is just crazy enough to work

TechGamingGTA 6GTA 6’s second trailer remains a huge mystery, but fans are hoping Rockstar might throw them something new this month in the festive spirit – with a new theory making a lot of sense

Will GTA 6 make 2025 after all?GTA 6’s new trailer is still nowhere to be seen more than a year on from the first one and fans are starting to get restless – and maybe a little more resourceful.

Last week saw the return of the “moon theory” which suggests we’ve still got to wait a little longer, which is proving particularly difficult after Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two’s CEO described the upcoming game as ‘extraordinary’.

This time around, it’s all based around a number: 27. Is this finally the GTA theory that works and suggests when Trailer 2 will arrive?

Fans tip December 27 for GTA 6 trailer 2Content cannot be displayed without consentX (formerly Twitter) account GTA 6 Alert is pretty adamant that the new trailer is arriving on December 27, and they’ve put together four suggestions as to why.

Rockstar Games itself was founded on December 27, 1998, while the company’s Instagram account has 27 posts (I know, but bear with me here).

At the 27 second mark on Trailer 1, you can see a purple car with the number 27 in its rear window, while a recent link published by the company on X has the number 27 in it.

I admit, it’s pretty tenuous, but it’s an amazing coincidence if these kind of things have just happened to line up.

Even the GTA 6 Alert account might be spinning into delirium, however, jokingly pointing to 227 million trailer views on the first reveal. Another user joked that the likelihood of this being correct is 27%, too.

A new trademark in Brazil last week added to speculation a fresh trailer is coming, while a longtime Rockstar collaborator acknowledged he’s working on something with the company for 2025.

Fans are going spare for fresh information about the title, and while some are undoubtedly happy to wait it out, some can’t understand why Rockstar won’t throw them a bone with a screenshot or two.

One former developer recently explained that the Rockstar team would be “geeking out” watching fan theories unfold, but we’re still no sooner to catching another glimpse of a Vice City return.
