The wait for GTA 6 news has reached new levels of creativity as fans uncover what might be Rockstar’s cleverest hint yet. With the first trailer now over 500 days old, the community has turned detective, finding clues in the unlikeliest of places – 1930s American crime history.
A Date With Destiny
The latest theory making waves suggests Rockstar could drop the second trailer on May 23. This isn’t just another random guess – it’s the anniversary of infamous criminal couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s deaths in 1934. The connection? GTA 6’s protagonists Jason and Lucia are heavily inspired by these real-life outlaws.
Reddit user HistoryBuff_93 first spotted the potential link, posting: “Rockstar loves historical references. May 23 would be perfect timing after their investor call and fits their Bonnie & Clyde theme perfectly.” The post quickly gained traction, with many agreeing it’s one of the more plausible theories we’ve seen.
Why This Theory Has Legs
Unlike most wild GTA 6 speculation, this one actually makes sense when you consider Rockstar’s patterns:
- The studio frequently uses historical dates and references in their marketing
- May 23 falls right after Take-Two’s crucial May 15 investor call
- It would maintain Rockstar’s tradition of summer trailer releases
- The Bonnie & Clyde connection directly ties to the game’s themes
Even typically skeptical fans are admitting this theory has merit. “Normally I’d roll my eyes,” commented longtime Rockstar follower Mike_TV, “but this actually lines up with how they operate.”
The Growing Trailer Drought
The enthusiasm for any potential clue highlights just how desperate fans have become for news. Since that first breathtaking trailer in December 2022, Rockstar has maintained complete radio silence. The lack of information has led to:
- Countless false leaks and rumors
- Over-analysis of every Rockstar social media post
- Growing frustration among the fanbase
- Now, historical research to find potential hints
As one exhausted fan put it: “We’ve gone from analyzing trailer frames to studying Depression-era crime timelines. Rockstar has officially broken us.”
Why Rockstar Wins Either Way
Whether the May 23 theory proves true or not, Rockstar benefits from this kind of organic hype. The studio has mastered the art of letting fan speculation do their marketing for them. By dropping just enough breadcrumbs (like the Bonnie & Clyde inspiration), they keep the conversation going without having to lift a finger.
Industry analyst Sarah Chen notes: “This is classic Rockstar. They know the longer they wait, the more desperate fans become, and the bigger the eventual payoff. The May 23 theory is perfect because it feels plausible enough to keep hope alive.”

What’s Next for Anxious Fans
With the May 15 investor call approaching, fans will be scrutinizing every word for potential clues. If Rockstar stays silent after that date, expect the May 23 hype to reach fever pitch. But if the date comes and goes without a trailer? The community will likely just move on to the next theory.
As always with Rockstar, the only certainty is uncertainty. But for now, the Bonnie & Clyde connection offers fans something rare in the GTA 6 waiting game – a theory that actually makes sense.
