- GTA 6 fans recently curated a theory claiming that the game’s second trailer will be released on 27th December.
- However, Rockstar didn’t release the trailer on the mentioned date, disappointing a massive fandom.
- It ended up being a win for the developer as it didn’t do anything and received free marketing.
GTA 6‘s release will go down in history as the biggest and there is no doubt about that. Over the years Rockstar has managed to curate such a massive fandom for the series that many are patiently and impatiently awaiting the title’s release.
It has been over a year since the first trailer was released, so many fans went a little crazy with their theories. I usually read the fan theories, as honestly, they are hilarious, and Rockstar thinks so, too.
However, the most recent 27 December fan theory about GTA 6 2nd trailer is the most outrageous one I have ever read. The fans basically gave GTA 6 free marketing without letting Rockstar do anything.
Why it matters: At this rate, Rockstar Games won’t have to do anything and just wait to drop the bomb on fans when they are least expecting it to generate the hype even more. It won’t be possible without the fans constantly giving the game free marketing.
The 27th December Theory
For those who are unaware recently, social media platforms were full of the 27th December theory as some fans had reasons to believe that Rockstar would release the trailer on this date. Many fans made compelling points, such as the developer’s official Instagram handle having 27 posts and trailer 1 having 27 written in exactly 27 seconds.
Other points were that Rockstar was founded on 27th December which, by the way, is a lie and that Rockstar’s recent post on X at that time had 27 at the end. If your mind is hurting then I wouldn’t blame you as this theory is outrageous but many fans believed it.
Usually I’m skeptical about community theories, but this one really got me. If it turns out to be wrong, I ain’t believing anything else until the game actually drops.
This caused a false sense of hope and unreal expectations that Rockstar didn’t set. Even fans who were skeptical about community theories were pumped about this one.
Rockstar Might Have Something To Do With It
Many fans were already pretty sure that the developer would be releasing the trailer on the said date. That is when it was reported that Rockstar archived a post in order to keep the total number still 27 after posting a new one.
If that was a little confusing then simply understand that the Instagram account had 27 posts, so the gaming giant archived one and posted the new one to keep the number same.
It was already so suspicious that why would Rockstar release the trailer during the holidays? The whole theory just didn’t make any sense to me but the gaming giant did troll the fandom here.
If they don’t release a trailer on the 27th its one of the biggest trolls Rockstar has ever done.
After this, the voice actor of Michael De Santa from GTA 5 teased the second trailer of GTA 6 on 27th December. At this moment the fandom was divided where some claimed that this was 100% a troll while others were sure that something was going down on the said date.
Nothing Happened On 27th December
As you can now already tell “nothing happened” (One Piece reference) when fans were expecting the studio to stop the second trailer. On the said date Rockstar and GTA 6 were trending on platforms like Twitter as fans were hyped and anticipating the second trailer.
However, they were pranked by themselves as Rockstar Games didn’t confirm the trailer at all. There were a lot of more theories fans made up but all of them were busted. Now, the fans are left devastated with no updates on when the trailer is going to be released but Rockstar emerged victorious with free massive marketing for GTA 6.
The developer didn’t do a single thing to make its upcoming game trending on social media platforms which shows exactly how crazy and impatient the fandom is for more information about the game.
It has been a long time since the last trailer was released so the studio should at least give fans some updates. GTA 6 is set to release in 2025 on consoles but no trailer in 2024 may be hinting at an imminent delay.
