In the absence of a second official trailer, many have taken to fan forums, discussing and analyzing clues that might indicate the game’s launch date.

The Mafia Trailer Theory
The speculation began with a comparison to another game’s teaser. According to adamcookie26 (via Gaming Bible), the timing of the Mafia: The Old Country teaser trailer release provides a clue. They suggest that if Rockstar plans to avoid overshadowing the Mafia trailer slated for December, the next GTA 6 trailer might need to release in November. This theory has sparked debate within the community, with many fans agreeing that a new GTA trailer would indeed dominate the spotlight, overshadowing other game announcements.

The Moon Theory and Its Influence
Another element fueling the speculation is the popular “moon theory.” This fan theory proposes that the lunar cycle could help predict major announcements, including the release of GTA 6 trailers. Though unconventional, this theory has gained traction, with some fans seeing it as a fun way to guess the game’s release timeline. When combined with the Mafia trailer timing theory, both theories suggest an announcement in November.

While no official date has been confirmed, the fan community remains hopeful that more information will be revealed soon. For now, the combined theories leave the gaming world eagerly waiting for a potential November announcement and hoping that GTA 6 is finally within reach.
