GTA 6 trailer 2 rumours: Release date speculation and more

What will a second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer reveal?

A second trailer could potentially reveal a finalised GTA 6 release date, for one (fingers and toes and everything else crossed)!

We might learn more about who the protagonist Lucia is, too. Is she the Bikini Girl or not? We must know.

Just as with the original trailer, every last detail will no doubt be scrutinised to death by everyone. The song they end up using will likely end up stuck in our heads for months again, as well.

There are so many possibilities, not least another look at the game's amazing graphics and Vice City locales. Who knows? YouTubers might try to recreate the trailer in real life again. The world stops for GTA news.

Finally, the second trailer will hopefully give us an official age rating (no prizes for guessing what it might be). We may learn how much GTA 6 costs, too. Even better, we could catch a glimpse of GTA 6 Online, but that may well be saved for a trailer of its own even later down the line.

What we can say, though, is that it's likely we won't see an announcement that GTA 6 will come to PS4 and Xbox One.

Read on to discover everything there is to know about the GTA 6 trailer 2 release date and our best guess as to when that might be.

When could GTA 6 trailer 2 release? Our best guess

Rockstar has not officially confirmed when the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will drop, but our best guess would be in December 2024.

Rockstar could decide to release trailer 2 on 3rd December 2024 – exactly a year after the first trailer debuted. Could we even get a cheeky trailer at The Game Awards on 13th December 2024? Time will tell.

One potential rumour, which stemmed from the trailer for the Pizza Delivery update for GTA: Online (you can see it in the picture above), suggested that we might have had the second GTA 6 trailer on 4th October.

Well, 4th October has been and gone and we have no new trailer.

Sorry.

As Redditor u/adotang pointed out at the time of the rumour, 'OCT' has been "the month sticker on the San Andreas license plate since GTA V's release".

This wasn't the first time we fans got a little carried away. It won't be the last, either.

There was even a Moon theory which was debunked after 22nd November came and went. Us GTA fans are desperate for new information.

Back in the realms of reality, meanwhile, the developer has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release in 2025, so marketing is likely to get another push come the end of the year.

The first trailer was dropped in December 2023, so we wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6's second trailer was uploaded a year later, in December 2024.

GTA 5 trailer timeline

One of the best ways to identify the future of GTA 6 trailers is to look to the past. The first trailer for GTA 5, for instance, was uploaded by Rockstar in November 2011. It was then just over a year later that the second GTA 5 trailer launched.

The full GTA 5 trailer timeline can be seen below:

• GTA 5 Trailer – 2nd November 2011
• GTA 5 Trailer 2 – 14th November 2012
• GTA 5: Michael, Franklin, Trevor (trailer 3) – 30th April 2013
• GTA V Gameplay Trailer – 9th July 2013
• GTA Online: Official Gameplay Video – 15th August 2013
• GTA 5: The Official Trailer (trailer 4) – 29th August 2013

Why are people talking about GTA 6 trailer 2? Song rumours explained

Speculation surrounding what song could feature in the second GTA 6 trailer surfaced in February 2024. This stemmed from a logo of GTA 6 being found on the song Ring My Bell by Anita Ward on the US singer's Spotify account (via Reddit user AlilBitTall).

The song previously was included in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas's radio station K-Jah, although this was a cover by a band called Blood Sisters.

Since it's a track synonymous with the '80s, and GTA 6 is all but confirmed to be set in that decade, it's definitely possible that it could be used in the next trailer or even be played on a radio station in-game.

That said, Anita Ward's Spotify account debunked any theories shortly after by posting a message explaining its mysterious connection.

The post (as shared via Reddit) can be read below in full:

"Ring My Bell will not be featured in the second trailer or radio station. All rumors and predictions about the song are unfounded this is the only official and correct explanation.

"The changes in the last 3 days have been outside our knowledge. We hope that the correct information will spread quickly. Announced to the public. Arrangement: the fact that there is no official agreement at the moment does not mean there will not be in the future, but there are no official agreements or negotiations at the moment."

What's the latest GTA 6 trailer?

At the time of writing, the only GTA 6 trailer that Rockstar has officially released is the reveal trailer from December 2023.

It utilises Tom Petty's classic Love Is a Long Road as its main song, which has led to speculation as to whether the trailer has a hidden meaning. Check it out below:

Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025.
