Fans might have to wait a whole other year before seeing a second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, at least according to a trusted gaming industry insider. After a full decade of playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and a year after Rockstar Games confirmed the project was in development, players finally got their first official look at the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 earlier this week. The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer confirmed many long-held rumors about the upcoming open-world crime title, such as it returning to the popular setting of Vice City and featuring a female playable character named Lucia.

Much of the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 was devoted to establishing the updated Vince City as a satire of modern-day Florida, with fans even comparing the trailer’s imagery to real-life photographs of the state. Plotwise, the trailer suggests that Lucia will reunite with her as-of-yet unnamed boyfriend (who was referred to as “Jason” in past GTA 6 leaks) for some sort of crime spree after being released from prison. There are still many unanswered questions surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, and it looks like eager gamers might have to wait a while for more information about Rockstar’s next open-world blockbuster.

Tom Henderson believes that the next Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer might not be released for at least a year. While he isn’t certain about this, he cites the gaps between trailers for past Rockstar titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in a recent Twitter post. More specifically, he noted that Red Dead Redemption 2’s second trailer came 11 months after the first, while the equally successful Grand Theft Auto 5 took 17 months (nearly a year and a half) to release a second trailer - though another user corrected him by pointing out that it was only 12.

Regardless, fans have taken note of the apparent pattern in Rockstar’s trailer releases, but most are still happy to wait for the next look at Grand Theft Auto 6. After all, the first GTA 6 trailer is already rich in hidden details and clues about the game’s plot, such as a brief shot of Lucia wearing an ankle monitor that suggests she might be locked to a certain portion of GTA 6’s expanded map at first. The GTA 6 trailer itself is already one of the most-viewed gaming videos of all time, with Rockstar’s YouTube channel gaining almost 2 million new subscribers days after its release.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was already one of the most hotly-anticipated games in recent memory, and this has only been intensified after the release of its initial trailer earlier this week. It might be a year before Rockstar releases a second detail-packed GTA 6 trailer, though this one will likely be more focused on the story of Lucia and her boyfriend than the setting-oriented first look. Many fans are more than happy to wait in the meantime, especially since the initial Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer may yet have some remaining tidbits for eagle-eyed viewers to draw theories from.
