Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) anticipation is reaching fever pitch, fueled by a fan theory suggesting a new trailer will be released on November 22.

The theory’s origin lies within a Reddit post on the r/GTA6 subreddit, where user tnasstyy highlighted a waning gibbous moon depicted in a recent promotional image from Rockstar Games.

This image, advertising the upcoming December expansion for Grand Theft Auto Online, subtly features the moon in its upper left corner. tnasstyy observed that the next occurrence of this specific moon phase is November 17, later corrected to November 22.

This observation has ignited a wave of speculation among GTA fans, drawing parallels to a similar event preceding the release of the first official GTA 6 trailer. Two months before that initial trailer dropped, Rockstar released a promotional image for the GTA Online Moon Festival; this image also featured a waning gibbous moon, which appeared in the game’s sky on December 1, 2023 – the very day Rockstar unveiled the first trailer.

The consistency between the moon phases and the timing of previous announcements has led many to believe November 22nd holds significance for the release of a second GTA 6 trailer.

While Rockstar Games has yet to offer any official confirmation, the “moon theory” has rapidly gained traction within the GTA community. The theory’s simplicity, coupled with the uncanny correlation between past moon phases and trailer releases, has generated considerable excitement and anticipation, leaving fans eagerly awaiting November 22nd to see if their hopes are realized.

The possibility remains that the date may yield nothing, but the speculation alone underscores the intense fervor surrounding the highly anticipated game.
