Rockstar could be deliberately torturing followers anticipating the following GTA 6 trailer, as a GTA Online submit has some questionable water continuity.
There’s plenty of proof to recommend Rockstar is aware of precisely what it’s doing on the subject of putting references to GTA 6 in GTA Online, however a brand new advertising and marketing picture could be the clearest indication but of them purposefully teasing followers.
Ever because the first trailer for GTA 6 debuted in December final yr, followers have speculated on when Rockstar will drop the following one. As we method the one yr anniversary, there’s now each cause to hope one other trailer might drop in simply the following few days.
While that definitely is feasible, particularly with The Game Awards in sight, these rumours have accelerated because of a brand new social media submit about GTA Online which has one very suspect element.
The submit, shared on the Rockstar Games X account, appears to be like enterprise as common on the floor. It promotes an upcoming Police Predator boat in GTA Online, which might be free to all gamers for a restricted time in December, if the group manages to collectively earn $20 trillion in GTA Online’s The Heist Challenge.
If you look past the boat, nonetheless, a element within the water has caught the eye of some followers. Below the pier, three colors are mirrored within the water (yellow, pink, and blue) which don’t match properly with the lighting above the floor – particularly by way of the sample.
These colors are the identical ones used within the GTA 6 brand, which some followers assume just isn’t a coincidence. Some are even satisfied they will see a Rockstar brand within the reflection, however that could be hallucination through trailer depravation.
‘Yeah nah that water reflection is certainly sus,’ a fan wrote on X. ‘I don’t see these colors on the Ferris wheel however I do see them on a sure online game art work.’
‘Congratulations I’m dropping my thoughts,’ another added in response.
The reflections have since sparked a debate on Reddit over whether or not they really seem within the recreation, with some claiming they do once you play GTA Online on greater constancy settings. Although that doesn’t actually reply the query of whether or not that is imagined to be a tease for a brand new trailer.
Rockstar has not given subsequent month’s GTA Online replace a precise launch date, but it surely’s believed to be coming round Tuesday, December 10, primarily based on prior rollouts.
The first trailer for GTA 6 debuted on December 4 final yr, a day early than initially deliberate, so followers are hoping Rockstar would possibly mark the one-year anniversary with some extra footage or information.
And but Rockstar introduced the trailer was coming in December on November 8, so we’re clearly properly previous that – which might point out there’s not going to be a second trailer this yr.
GTA 6 doesn’t have a exact launch date, however Rockstar’s mother or father firm Take-Two has reaffirmed it’s at the moment scheduled for autumn 2025.
