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 official release date? And what groundbreaking features await us? It's been over a year since Rockstar Games unveiled their first (and only) teaser, leaving fans hungry for more. Throughout 2024, radio silence from the developers only fueled the speculation.
GTA VI O’Clock, a reputable Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insight. Based on Rockstar's historical marketing patterns, they predict the next trailer will arrive in the coming weeks. If the Fall 2025 release date, previously hinted at by Take-Two, remains on track, a new trailer in March or April would be followed by a robust 5-6 month marketing campaign—a strategy mirroring Rockstar's successful launches of previous titles.
GTA VI O’Clock suggests early April as a likely timeframe for the trailer's debut. However, given the whirlwind of fan theories and unsubstantiated rumors, it's wise to await an official announcement from Rockstar before setting any expectations on a specific date.
