While the Game of the Year race is heating up—with strong contenders like Split Fiction, and upcoming releases of Death Stranding and DOOM—one title reigns supreme in anticipation: Grand Theft Auto VI. The burning questions on everyone's mind are: When will the next trailer drop? What's the release date? And what exciting new features await? Over a year has passed since Rockstar Games' initial—and only—teaser, leaving fans hungry for more. Throughout 2024, radio silence reigned.
However, GTA VI O’Clock, a prominent Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insight. Based on Rockstar's historical marketing patterns, they predict the next trailer will arrive in the coming weeks. If the Fall 2025 release date, previously hinted at by Take-Two, remains on track, a new trailer in March or April would be followed by a significant marketing campaign lasting 5-6 months—mirroring Rockstar's strategies for past titles.
GTA VI O’Clock speculates an early April reveal. But with the internet awash in fan theories and speculation, it's wise to await an official announcement from Rockstar rather than pinning hopes on a specific date.
