We’re in the course of the final full week of December, so nearly everybody has already known as it a 12 months 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 most likely value suspending your disbelief a bit of when studying this one. I’m not even fully certain the identical individuals behind the idea imagine 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 picture was picked up by a GTA 6 leaks Twitter account, who took it upon themselves to dissect it for any doable hints.
The picture 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.
In case you’re on crew Consider, you’ll be joyful to know that the quantity 27 does truly result in a number of issues. For one, the Rockstar Instagram account at the moment has precisely 27 posts. Making issues extra fascinating, 27 seconds into the one GTA 6 trailer we’ve we see a automotive with the identical quantity written on its rear window. There’s additionally the license plate of a Misplaced Santos State Trooper automotive whose numbers add as much as 27.
Right here is when issues take a pointy flip into the unhinged. This explicit discovery depends on the moon idea, which suggestes that Rockstar is utilizing the phases of the moon to inform followers when GTA 6 trailers will likely be launched. There are 27 days in a lunar cycle, which is one more component with 27 on it.
The Waning Gibbous moon part is the cycle of curiosity right here, as a result of that is once we received the primary GTA 6 trailer (December 1, 2023), so it follows that the second trailer will likely 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 “idea” has now shifted to this Friday, December 27 as the subsequent doable date. And, as a result of these items are malleable and don’t comply with any stable logic, some have even recommended that the trailer will arrive on January 14, which is when the subsequent Waning Gibbous may be sighted.
Again in the true world, we’re nonetheless anticipating GTA 6 to be launched earlier than the top of 2025. We don’t know when the subsequent main piece of details about the sport will likely be launched, however there’s a superb motive Rockstar is staying quiet.
