Rockstar apparently hid something on Instagram, stirring GTA 6 trailer 2 rumor

Grand Theft Auto fans have recently come up with a new theory, speculating December 27 as a potential release date for GTA 6 trailer 2. The rumor takes a Rockstar Games dev's social media post into account, which allegedly has hints pointing towards the game and the number 27. Furthermore, Rockstar's recent X post about the new Willard Outreach Faction cop car in GTA Online is also being linked by fans with these rumors.

The numbers on the car's license plate in the said image, notably, add up to 27. Even the letters on the plate, D and W, equal to 27 if their positions in the English alphabet, 4 and 23, respectively, are added. Interestingly, Rockstar hid this license plate when the image was uploaded on Instagram, raising fans' suspicions even more.

Fans link Rockstar Games' Willard Outreach Faction social media post with new GTA 6 trailer 2 fan theory

The latest GTA 6 trailer 2 fan theory stems from a Rockstar dev's X post showing some Rockstar Games merchandise. While there was nothing suspicious about the merch itself, a partially concealed note in the dev's posted image seems to have several connections to the number 27. These include an alleged Florida hotel booking for December 27, digits that led to a Florida-based auto dealership named 27 Auto Sales, and more.

Since the upcoming title is set in Leonida (likely Florida's fictional iteration), fans believe that these things might be hinting towards its second trailer possibly coming out on December 27. All other GTA 6 trailer 2 fan theories so far have been proven incorrect, but many seem to be rallying behind this one.

The Willard Outreach Faction's license plate (that had connections to the number 27 too) being blacked out on Instagram has added to these rumors and suspicions. Provided below, are some reactions from fans on social media regarding the matter.

Why exactly Rockstar chose to hide the license plate on Instagram is anyone's guess. As mentioned, fans believe it might be linked to the December 27 GTA 6 trailer 2 fan theory, but needless to say, there is no way to confirm that. Nevertheless, with less than a week's time left for December 27, we will soon learn whether this latest fan theory has any truth to it.
