Grand Theft Auto VI fans are more attentive than ever, and now a theory related to the phases of the moon seems to indicate that the new trailer could be just around the corner. After months of waiting since the first teaser was released, fans are still looking for any clues that Rockstar Games may have dropped in their posts, and this time, the moon has once again taken center stage. Many players firmly believe that Rockstar hides messages in its promotional images to anticipate their next moves. This time, the theory that is gaining strength indicates that the second GTA VI trailer could be revealed the week of November 18, 2024, based on a rather curious clue: the lunar phase shown in a recent image shared by Rockstar.
The lunar cycle and the GTA 6 trailer
It all started with the fan account GTA 6 Countdown posting a recent promotional image of GTA Online, the moon appears in its waning gibbous phase, a lunar phase that coincides with the date of November 22. Fans have not missed this coincidence and have begun to speculate that this lunar phase could be a clue as to the release date of the game's second trailer.

In addition, This wouldn't be the first time that Rockstar uses a visual element related to the moon to anticipate an important announcement.. A similar situation occurred in the GTA VI December 2023 trailer when fans noticed a similar detail before the first trailer saw the light of day.

GTA 6 Countdown recalled that last year, before the announcement of the first trailer on December 5, 2023, Rockstar released a GTA Online update and rumors started because of an image that also showed the moon (image above). According to this theory, if we consider what happened on that occasion and how the date of the previous trailer was revealed, it is possible that we will have more news about the game this November.
Fans continue to search for clues in all the details
This theory has taken hold among the community of GTA VI fans, who are not only attentive to the lunar phases, but also to all kinds of details in Rockstar's publicity images. For example, it has also been mentioned that in other more recent posts about GTA Online updates, vehicle license plates and other small visual details could be suggesting clues about the upcoming announcement.
Recently, following the release of a GTA V promotional trailer featuring a pizza delivery bike, some players pointed out that The letters “OCT” on the license plate could be indicating something related to an announcement for OctoberHowever, this theory seems to have been left hanging, as no official trailer has been released. In any case, this type of hypothesis continues to keep players' attention alive while they wait for any kind of confirmation from Rockstar.
The long-awaited second trailer and what we could see
The second GTA VI trailer is highly anticipated As of now, we've only had one official preview of the game. In the first trailer, Rockstar showed off some key elements of the setting, characters, and the return of the iconic Vice City.
Many are hoping that this upcoming trailer will not only reveal more information about the plot and the protagonists, but will also offer details on gameplay and the open world that characterizes the saga so much. Although there are still no official confirmations, the community continues to hold out hope that this long-awaited second trailer will arrive soon. It should be remembered that Rockstar is known for maintaining great secrecy about its games until the last moment, which makes any clue or rumor take on great relevance, but we should also add the detail of the shareholders' meeting, which will be held on November 6 and could push an announcement even more imminent.
The lunar theory: a coincidence or a real clue?
Of course, as with all theories, There are those who are skeptical and they think that perhaps the coincidence with the lunar phase is nothing more than that: a coincidence. Some fans think that Rockstar is simply playing with the imagination of its followers., and that the timing of the moon in the GTA Online image is nothing more than a coincidence with no further significance.
However, others strongly believe that Rockstar has left hidden clues before and that this would be a similar case. In any case, the date of November 22nd seems to be key in the minds of many fans, and it would not be surprising if more theories about clues and hidden messages in the company's images continue to appear. It has also been discussed that Rockstar could be taking advantage of the growing anticipation to keep the community engaged, dropping little clues that, while not directly revealing the game's content, do get players to continue speculating.
The only thing that is certain is that, in the world of Grand Theft Auto, moon phases, license plates or even bullet textures Walls can become the epicenter of gigantic theories. Fans are very attentive to any small detail that could give them a clue about Rockstar's next moves, and they will continue to do so until the official announcement finally arrives.
