"moon theory wasn't real after all": No GTA 6 trailer 2 release disappointed fans
Many Grand Theft Auto fans seemingly hoped for GTA 6 trailer 2 to be released or announced today, November 22, 2024. The basis for this expectation was a fan theory, commonly referred to as the Moon Theory within the title's community. Unfortunately, Rockstar Games did not release a second trailer today, which needless to say, disappointed several fans.
Many took to social media to express their thoughts on the matter. Among them was prominent community member @that1detectiv3 on X, who, while disappointed, expressed hope for some news before the year's end.
"Turns out the moon theory wasn’t real after all. No Trailer 2 announcement today but there’s still hope for GTA 6 news before the year ends, so keep the faith"
Well-known Grand Theft Auto YouTuber, @LegacyKillaHD, also expressed disappointment but hoped for a GTA 6 trailer 2 announcement in the first week of December.
Over on Reddit, u/Jotaroo69 uploaded a meme to describe the second trailer not getting released, one of the responses to which (by u/beehappy32) was this:

Grand Theft Auto fans express disappointment over no GTA 6 trailer 2 release
Rockstar Games released the first GTA 6 trailer in December 2023. It will soon be a year since then, but we haven't received a second trailer or even screenshots yet. The developer has been completely silent on the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel this year, and while the GTA 6 release window has been announced, that was done by Take-Two Interactive.
The disappointment among fans is understandable, given the lack of any new major reveals. Nevertheless, some are still hoping for an announcement before the end of 2024, as can be inferred from a few reactions above.
A section of the fanbase is looking forward to the release of next month's GTA Online Winter DLC in hopes of possible announcements or reveals. The reason behind this expectation seems to be the first GTA 6 trailer being dropped around a week before last year's Winter DLC - The Chop Shop.
Furthermore, Grand Theft Auto 6 has been nominated in the Most Anticipated Game category at The Game Awards, which will be held on December 12, 2024. Some fans believe Rockstar might showcase GTA 6 trailer 2 if it wins. That said, readers should remember that all this is purely speculation, just like the Moon Theory, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
