GTA 6 second trailer moon theory debunked – here's why you shouldn't expect to see it today

A GTA 6 gameplay teaser conspiracy mentation suggests the 2nd trailer for the rubric is coming today, but the grounds is shaky astatine best.

It's been a full twelvemonth since we past heard a peep from Rockstar Games astir GTA 6, aft the developer released the archetypal trailer past year. But fans are convinced that we're getting a 2nd trailer today.

GTA 6 has been a long-time coming, with Rockstar milking the currency cattle that is GTA 5 for each its worthy since its archetypal 2013 merchandise date. We've seen the crippled span 3 console generations now, and fans are champing astatine the spot for immoderate morsel of quality connected the adjacent rubric successful the series. So overmuch truthful that conspiracy theories and rumours being bandied astir frequently, adjacent erstwhile they endanger to derail the GTA hype bid – similar the delay rumours that ended up being nonsense. Shocker.

We yet got a look astatine the archetypal GTA 6 trailer past year, which Rockstar ended up sharing earlier than intended aft it was leaked online. And this is wherever the conspiracy mentation astir the GTA 6 2nd trailer dropping contiguous begins. The developer announced that trailer 1 was connected the way connected December 1, 2023, saying it would debut connected Tuesday, December 5. In the end, the workplace dropped it 1 time aboriginal due to the fact that of the leak, but that's the timeline we're moving with.

What does that person to bash with the timing of the GTA 6 2nd trailer? Well, connected December 1, 2023 the satellite was successful its waning gibbous signifier (via Lunaf). This is applicable due to the fact that successful a tweet from September 29, 2023, Rockstar tweeted "Happy Moon Festival!" with a nexus to a blog station connected the week's in-game bonuses and a escaped t-shirt players could earn.

But the representation successful the tweet displayed a elephantine VI – the Roman numeral for 6, which the dev uses for its GTA games – and a waning gibbous moon. And that was capable to cement the mentation that Rockstar precise deliberately teased the trailer announcement day for December 1, 2023, erstwhile the satellite was successful its waning gibbous phase. And fans person tally with that, saying there's different waning gibbous satellite today, Friday November 22, and ergo, we're getting a trailer driblet today.

However, determination are a fewer kinks with this theory, truthful don't strap connected your tin foil chapeau conscionable yet.

Here we spell again

A waning gibbous satellite happens erstwhile per month. After Rockstar's Moon Festival tweet, a waning gibbous occurred betwixt Sunday, October 1 and Wednesday, October 4. So the satellite signifier successful the tweet could conscionable arsenic easy person represented that week successful existent life, arsenic overmuch arsenic it could've pointed to a day related to the trailer – and not adjacent the trailer merchandise date, caput you. It was conscionable the announcement of a trailer.

On apical of that, we besides saw a waning gibbous satellite astatine the extremity of October done to the commencement of November, and again betwixt November 29, 2023 done to December 3, 2023. You tin cheque this retired for yourself utilizing this handy satellite signifier calendar, but you astir apt person much breathtaking things to beryllium doing, similar clearing retired your belly fastener lint. So portion the redditor who was congratulating themselves connected spotting the GTA 6 trailer satellite theory is technically close astir the announcement dropping during a waning gibbous moon, the enactment of dates that satellite signifier fell connected spans rather the range, and it wasn't adjacent the GTA 6 trailer merchandise itself.

And if Rockstar was teasing the archetypal GTA 6 trailer successful that tweet, we've not seen thing akin this twelvemonth conscionable yet. So, astatine this point, the conspiracy theories revolve astir picking an arbitrary day for a GTA 6 2nd trailer drop, based connected what might have been a concealed teaser Rockstar explicitly posted 1 twelvemonth ago, for the announcement of the archetypal trailer that could person happened during 2 different periods pursuing the tweet.

The kicker present is that contiguous isn't adjacent a waning gibbous satellite phase. The moon signifier calendar for November, 2024 shows the waning gibbous for this period fell betwixt Sunday, November 17 and Wednesday, November 20. It's been a past 4th satellite arsenic of yesterday. So what are we adjacent talking astir people??

If we bash spot the GTA 6 2nd trailer driblet today, it'll person thing to bash with the satellite mentation oregon past year's concatenation of events.
