While the Game of the Year race is heating up—with strong contenders like Split Fiction already making a splash, and highly anticipated releases like the new Death Stranding and DOOM on the horizon—one title reigns supreme in anticipation: Grand Theft Auto VI. The burning questions on everyone's mind are: When will the next trailer drop? What's the release date? And what exciting new features await? Yet, over a year has passed since Rockstar Games unveiled their first—and only—teaser. 2024 offered no further official updates.
GTA VI O’Clock, a reputable Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insight. Based on their analysis of Rockstar's past marketing strategies, a second trailer is predicted to arrive in the coming weeks. A Fall 2025 release, as previously hinted by Take-Two, suggests a March or April trailer launch, followed by a significant marketing campaign lasting 5-6 months—mirroring Rockstar's previous release patterns.
GTA VI O’Clock speculates an early April debut for the new trailer. However, given the abundance of fan speculation and rumors swirling online, it's wise to await an official announcement from Rockstar rather than fixating on a specific date.
