The gaming community is abuzz with speculation following potential hints about the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI's second trailer. Eagle-eyed fans have unearthed clues within Rockstar Games' titles, suggesting an April 2025 debut.
The first trailer for GTA 6, unveiled on December 3, 2023, set the internet ablaze, introducing the franchise's first female protagonist, Lucia, and confirming a return to the iconic Vice City. This initial glimpse shattered records, becoming the most-watched non-music video within 24 hours, amassing over 224 million views.
A Hidden Clue in GTA Online?
Fans have since been scouring Rockstar's games for any hints about the next trailer. A particular in-game shirt in GTA Online, emblazoned with the phrase "One Day Will Reveal All" and a series of numbers, has drawn significant attention. The sequence "1252309" was deciphered by fans to correspond with the planned reveal of the first GTA 6 trailer on December 5, 2023, at 9 AM. Although an unexpected leak led Rockstar to release the trailer a day earlier, this discovery has lent credibility to the theory that the shirt contains further clues.

Another sequence on the same shirt, "040125," has sparked discussions about an April 1, 2025, release for the second trailer. However, the coincidence with April Fool's Day has led some to question the legitimacy of this date. Fans are now debating whether this potential release date is genuine or an elaborate prank.
Trailer 2 Releasing on April 1, 2025?
Adding to the intrigue, Rockstar's historical marketing patterns offer some insights. For instance, the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V was released nearly a year after the first, while Red Dead Redemption 2's second trailer followed six months after the initial one. If Rockstar maintains a similar timeline, an April 2025 release for GTA 6's second trailer aligns with these precedents. Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying these speculations. This silence has only fueled further theories and discussions within the community. The anticipation is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting any official word.
