GTA VI Trailer 2: Expected Release Date, Leaks, Rumors and Expectations!
As the gaming community anticipates the upcoming big title from the GTA series, everyone has been asking one question from the Rockstar Games, “When will the 2nd trailer of the Grand Theft Auto VI drop?” Let’s figure out everything regarding this question in today’s blog.
The first trailer of GTA 6 was released on December 5, 2023, and it received exceptional worldwide reception. According to Forbes, the trailer broke the record for being the most-viewed YouTube video in a day by getting an unbelievable 93 million views in its first 24 hours after the release.
The trailer showed us the two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, a robbery duo that will be seen in action in the game, and also gave us a glimpse of realistic graphics and a modern-style look at Vice City. Surprisingly, the trailer included some real-life events, and the epilogue also mentioned that the game will be released in 2025. While this trailer raised the fans’ expectations, they also started waiting for the next trailer to learn about the upcoming massive addition to the GTA saga.
Expected Trailer 2 Release Dates from the Past
After the release of the first trailer, everyone started to make assumptions regarding the release date of the second trailer. There was a flood of rumors every day. Let’s talk about some of these rumors.
- The earliest rumors regarding the release of 2nd trailer precipitated in May 2024 when the fans were expecting it to be released at the State of Play PlayStation event. But these rumors were put to rest when Rockstar didn’t do it.
- The next significant date was expected to be during the Summer Game Fest 2024, which lasted from 7 to 10 June 2024. But again, Rockstar Games gave no clue about GTA VI.
- At the Gamescom event in late August 2024, there were again expectations that the franchise might hint about trailer 2, but Rockstar Games kept silent.
- The next date was supposed to be the State of Play PlayStation event that took place on September 24, 2024. Apart from that, September is considered a significant month of releases in Rockstar Games history. Still, they avoided mentioning anything about the trailer.
- Many fans believed the trailer was coming on December 27th, 2024. But the fans were left disappointed for another time.
- The next expected date was believed to be February 14, 2025. Many sources claimed that the trailer might be dropping on Valentine’s Day. The day passed, and there was still no sign of the trailer.
Past Trailer Release Date Patterns
If we look at the past trailer release date history of Rockstar Games, we find that Rockstar never sticks to a specific pattern and also avoids releasing trailers on special occasions.
GTA V Trailers Release Dates
- The initial reveal trailer of Grand Theft Auto V was released on November 2, 2011.
- The second trailer came a year later, on November 14, 2012.
- The characters reveal trailer came on April 30, 2013.
- The launch trailer was then released on August 29, 2013.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer Release Dates
- The first game trailer of RDR2 went public on October 20, 2016.
- The second trailer was released on September 28, 2017.
- The third trailer came out on May 2, 2018.
- Finally, the launch trailer was released on October 18, 2018, a week before the official launch date of RDR2.
Looking at these patterns, it is clear that Rockstar Games always keeps a significant time gap between the trailer releases and avoids showcasing their game trailers on special occasions or events.
Why is Rockstar Games not giving any sign of the GTA VI trailer two release date?
Rockstar Games has been quiet ever since the trailer one release. But everyone is wondering why there is no further information from the Devs regarding the trailer or any other update on the game. The possible reason behind this discreet approach could be the privacy breach that occurred in September 2022, when a hacker named teapotubehacker accessed and stole the GTA VI alpha gameplay footage. This data breach was confirmed by Rockstar Games itself and they have been very cautious ever since regarding their upcoming projects.
Possible Release Date of GTA VI Trailer 2
After going through each and everything, it is very hard to pinpoint the exact date or time of the next trailer release. But looking at the amount of time passed and also going through the historical release date patterns from Rockstar Games, we can expect that the trailer might be coming in late April near the Eater holidays or somewhere in May. We might also be receiving an official release date announcement for the game at the Summer Game Fest 2025 which will be held on June 6, 2025, at the YouTube theater in Los Angeles.
Conclusion
Rockstar Games has kept the hype of GTA VI alive with its silent attitude towards the game. Although it is a great strategy making the fans wonder about the nature of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto video game. But, there are also rumors signaling a potential delay in the game’s release. What will be the next step of Rockstar Games? Only time will tell.
