It’s been over 500 days since Rockstar Games dropped the first Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) trailer in December 2023, and fans are beginning to lose hope that a second trailer will ever arrive. The initial reveal gave players their first look at the modernized Vice City, dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, and the game’s signature chaotic tone. Yet, with GTA 6 expected to launch in Fall 2025, the total lack of follow-up information has left the community feeling like “Trailer 2” is nothing more than a myth.
Fans Admit Trailer 2 Feels Like a “Dream”
The frustration reached a boiling point on the GTA 6 subreddit, where one user posted: “Trailer 2 is going to come someday, but it doesn’t feel real at all. We all know it will happen, but right now, it feels like fiction.” The sentiment resonated with thousands of fans, many of whom are struggling to stay excited after such a long silence.
Some players remain optimistic, believing Rockstar is simply perfecting the game before showing more. “When it finally drops, it’s going to be surreal,” one fan commented. Others, however, have grown tired of waiting. “I’m fed up,” admitted another. “Over 500 days with no news is ridiculous. I’ll care when it’s actually real.”
Why Rockstar’s Silence Is Unprecedented
Rockstar has always been secretive, but this delay is unusual even for them. For comparison, GTA V had its second trailer just 224 days after the first, while Red Dead Redemption 2 kept fans engaged with regular previews. Even Cyberpunk 2077, despite its troubled launch, shared more frequent updates. This extended gap suggests the game is far more ambitious than expected, or that Rockstar is planning a massive, sudden marketing push closer to launch.
What to Expect Next
Possible timelines based on Rockstar’s history:
- Summer 2024 (July-August): Gameplay trailer or preview
- Fall 2024 (September-October): Release date announcement
- 2025: Final marketing blitz before launch
Take-Two’s upcoming May 15 earnings call could offer subtle hints, but Rockstar is unlikely to break their silence until they’re fully ready.

Is the Wait Worth It?
Rockstar’s history proves their delays usually lead to groundbreaking games—GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 both benefited from extra development time. While the lack of communication is frustrating, the end result could justify the wait.
