While the Game of the Year race is heating up—with strong contenders like Split Fiction already making waves, 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 exciting new features await us? It's been over a year since Rockstar Games unveiled their first—and only—teaser, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any further news. Throughout 2024, radio silence reigned.
However, a glimmer of hope shines through. GTA VI O’Clock, a reputable Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insightful speculation on the next trailer's arrival. Based on Rockstar's historical marketing patterns, they predict a new trailer within the coming weeks.
If the Fall 2025 release date, previously hinted at by Take-Two, remains on track, a new trailer should surface in March or April, kicking off a significant marketing campaign lasting 5-6 months—a strategy mirroring Rockstar's successful launches of previous titles.
GTA VI O’Clock leans towards an early April debut for the trailer. However, given the abundance of fan speculation and rumors swirling online, it's wise to await an official announcement from Rockstar before setting any expectations on a specific date.
