GTA 6 Sparking Trailer 3 Speculation
In a significant update for millions of eager fans, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has officially confirmed that development of Grand Theft Auto VI is progressing on schedule for its targeted release in 2026. The announcement has immediately reignited the hype machine and sparked widespread speculation about when players will see more of the game.
The news came during Take-Two Interactive’s 2025 Virtual Annual Shareholder Meeting. CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed investors, stating that the company expects to achieve “record levels of Net Bookings” with its upcoming lineup, which includes “Grand Theft Auto VI in Fiscal 2027.”
For a moment, the mention of “Fiscal 2027” caused concern among fans who spotted the news. However, this is standard corporate financial terminology. Take-Two’s 2027 fiscal year begins in April 2026, meaning the company is forecasting revenue from GTA 6’s launch within the calendar year 2026, specifically for its planned May 26 release date. This clarification confirms that, as of now, no further delay has been announced.
Beyond the release date confirmation, the community’s focus has swiftly shifted to what comes next. The history of Rockstar’s marketing cycles has led fans to believe that a new trailer could be imminent. Following previous patterns, official statements from Take-Two about being “on track” have sometimes been followed shortly by new gameplay reveals or trailers.
Comments on social media reflect this building anticipation. One user noted, “The last time they said that a few days later, a trailer came out,” while another confidently stated, “We’re 100% getting something before the end of 2025.”
Despite the optimistic corporate update, a note of caution remains. Industry observers recall that Zelnick offered similar assurances about being on schedule mere weeks before Rockstar announced the game’s initial delay from 2025 to 2026. With the game still roughly eight months from its launch window, many believe the true test of the release date will come if the studio makes it through the end of 2025 without any further announcements.

For now, the official word is that the journey back to Vice City is proceeding as planned. Fans can likely expect the marketing campaign to intensify soon, potentially with a third trailer that offers a deeper look at the gameplay, story, and world of what is expected to be the biggest game launch of all time.
