Everything to know about the GTA 6 trailer 2 and the December 27, 2024 theory

The entire scenario started when Rockstar Games sent out GTA 6-themed gifts to their employees before the holiday season. The gifts were posted on X by one of Rockstar's mission designers, who goes as @Reckope/Joe on X. While fans initially took note of Rockstar Games' new logo, their focus soon shifted to a piece of paper just below the gifts.

Fans soon discovered that the paper contained the name of the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Florida as well as the coordinates of the 27 Auto Sales store in Tallahassee, Florida. The latter is located near Highway 27 and its owner has even posted the official GTA 6 cover art on Google Maps.

This kickstarted the new GTA 6 trailer 2 theory and fans began to believe that the Rockstar employee had indirectly teased a trailer release on December 27, 2024.

However, the speculation didn't end there as the community soon went down the rabbit hole only to find several other references linking Grand Theft Auto 6 with the number 27. Here are some other references that fans have pointed out:

• The 27 Auto Sales store has a waffle house nearby, a resemblance of which was seen in the September 2022 leaks.
• Highway 27 has two business establishments named ‘Jason Deli’ and ‘Villa Lucia’.
• Rockstar Games currently has 27 posts on its official Instagram handle.
• A car with the number 27 written on the window panel appears at 27 seconds of the first trailer.
• Rockstar Games and the Grand Theft Auto franchise will be celebrating their 27th anniversary this December.
• Florida is the 27th state of the USA. Leonida is loosely based in Florida.
• Bonnie and Clyde's arrest warrant was numbered 1227. Grand Theft Auto 6’s story is said to be inspired by them.

These things have dimmed the ‘Moon Theory,' with fans now waiting eagerly for December 27, 2024, to see whether the GTA 6 trailer 2 gets released.

However, Rockstar Games hasn’t shared a word on the matter, and a popular journalist has called it a GTA 6 marketing strategy.
