Today heralds a momentous milestone—the one-year mark since the unveiling of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. Enthusiasts all over are rife with speculation, wondering whether this anniversary might herald yet another glimpse into the bustling virtual chaos we’ve long craved, yet Rockstar remains, frustratingly, in a leisurely state of inertia.
That fateful day a year ago, the world was captivated by a trailer that transcended mere gaming hype. With a staggering 90 million views within a mere 24 hours, it introduced not only a tantalizing peek at the game—after a protracted decade of anticipation—but also our dynamic new lead characters, the audacious duo, Jason and Lucia.
Revisiting Vice City, now bursting with life together with its sprawling surroundings, Rockstar seems poised to push boundaries as they embark on this next exhilarating chapter in the beloved Grand Theft Auto universe.
Yet, the dark cloud of uncertainty looms; with GTA VI not slated for release for at least another year, the fervor amongst fans reaches a fever pitch as they pin their hopes on this anniversary being a precursor to more exhilarating news. Will it usher in the second trailer, finally? The anticipation crackled intensely just yesterday when Rockstar took to social media.
Alas, the revelation was not the explosive content fans were yearning for.
Instead of the highly coveted trailer, the studio opted for a rather mundane reveal—patch notes for Red Dead Redemption 2. While it’s a boon for the RDR2 aficionados, it left many fans of the sprawling metropolis of Vice City grimacing at the missed opportunity.
“RDR2 patch notes instead of Trailer 2??” a user lamented on r/GTA6, sharing a clip that perfectly encapsulated their disillusionment—the Joker’s last laugh echoing in the backdrop.
Another user humorously remarked, “At this rate, we’ll see 60fps on consoles for Red Dead Redemption before we ever catch a glimpse of trailer 2!”
With Rockstar tight-lipped, the timeline for the second GTA VI trailer remains a mystery shrouded in speculation—be it this week, next month, or languishing in the distant future. Let us fervently wish that the wait comes to an end soon, for the sake of every eager gamer’s heart!
