We’re in the course of the final full week of December, so virtually everybody has already known as it a yr and kicked off their vacation break. This additionally contains Rockstar, the maker of GTA 6. All of that’s to say: the possibilities of us getting a brand new trailer for the highly-anticipated recreation are slim to none.
None of that issues to a sure group of followers, nonetheless, who’ve satisfied themselves that sure, we are getting a brand new GTA 6 trailer this week.
Earlier than we get into the specifics, it’s in all probability price suspending your disbelief a little bit when studying this one. I’m not even fully certain the identical individuals behind the speculation consider it themselves, however let’s crack on.
As noticed by PC Gamer, this all began when one Rockstar developer posted a photograph that contained some “clues” that appear to level to the quantity 27. Be it a troll or not, the photograph was picked up by a GTA 6 leaks Twitter account, who took it upon themselves to dissect it for any doable hints.
The photograph has a Rockstar Video games jumper with GTA 6 colors, in addition to another Rockstar-themed memorabilia. What makes it fascinating is that there’s cat hair on the jumper formed just like the Roman Numerals VI. Look nearer, and also you’ll discover a telephone quantity on a bit of paper in the direction of the underside. The quantity seems to be for an auto store in Florida known as 27 Auto Gross sales. The leaks account took that quantity because the clue and ran with it.
Should you’re on workforce Imagine, you’ll be pleased to know that the quantity 27 does really result in a number of issues. For one, the Rockstar Instagram account at present has precisely 27 posts. Making issues extra fascinating, 27 seconds into the one GTA 6 trailer we’ve we see a automobile with the identical quantity written on its rear window. There’s additionally the license plate of a Misplaced Santos State Trooper automobile whose numbers add as much as 27.
Right here is when issues take a pointy flip into the unhinged. This specific discovery depends on the moon concept, which suggestes that Rockstar is utilizing the phases of the moon to inform followers when GTA 6 trailers shall be launched. There are 27 days in a lunar cycle, which is one more factor with 27 on it.
The Waning Gibbous moon section is the cycle of curiosity right here, as a result of that is after we received the primary GTA 6 trailer (December 1, 2023), so it follows that the second trailer shall be launched on a day that occurs to additionally host a Waning Gibbous moon. That day was December 20, which was final Friday, and we definitely didn’t get any trailers then.
So the “concept” has now shifted to this Friday, December 27 as the following doable date. And, as a result of this stuff are malleable and don’t comply with any strong logic, some have even prompt that the trailer will arrive on January 14, which is when the following Waning Gibbous could be sighted.
Again in the true world, we’re nonetheless anticipating GTA 6 to be launched earlier than the tip of 2025. We don’t know when the following main piece of details about the sport shall be launched, however there’s a superb cause Rockstar is staying quiet.
