GTA fans had high hopes for a big announcement from Rockstar Games on November 22, expecting news about the highly anticipated GTA 6 Trailer 2.
This excitement stemmed from a fan theory involving the phases of the moon, which previously lined up with the release of GTA 6’s first trailer in 2023.
How Did the Moon Theory Start?
The “moon theory” gained popularity after Rockstar dropped a GTA Online image in 2023 featuring the moon in its Waning Gibbous phase.
Two months later, this coincided with the announcement of GTA 6 Trailer 1.
Fans were convinced it wasn’t a coincidence and began paying close attention to moon phases in Rockstar’s updates.
Earlier this month, Rockstar released another GTA Online image showing the moon in the same Waning Gibbous phase, sparking speculation.
With the moon’s current phase ending on November 22, fans thought this was their best chance to get news about Trailer 2—or even the trailer itself.
No Trailer, No Announcement
As November 22 came and went, the fan theory proved wrong.
Even by 9 AM Eastern Time—when Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, typically makes announcements—there was no word on GTA 6 Trailer 2.
This silence left the GTA community disappointed and frustrated.
Fans React to the Letdown
The lack of news has led to heated discussions on social media, gaming forums, and subreddits.
Many fans are questioning whether they overanalyzed Rockstar’s cryptic updates or if the company is deliberately toying with them.
What’s Next for GTA 6?
It’s been nearly a year since the first GTA 6 trailer broke the internet, and Rockstar has yet to follow up with any significant updates.
With a release window for fall 2025 still expected for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, fans are eager for more information.
For now, the question remains, Was the moon theory just a coincidence, or is Rockstar continuing its tradition of teasing fans in unpredictable ways?
One thing’s for sure, GTA enthusiasts will keep searching for clues wherever they can find them.
