Don’t chortle. These are phrases on the web. They’re severe enterprise.
We’d have lastly gotten that second trailer, the one I spent months on finish staring on the moon 24 hours a day and electrocuted Nintendo’s nipples in anticipation of. We’d have gotten a complete web site price of screenshots and character bios to dissect like forensic scientists scraping one in every of Trevor Phillips’ victims off the freeway.
But it surely’s by no means sufficient. It’s by no means sufficient, when GTA 6 now isn’t arriving till Could 2026. From my bunker on Mount Chiliad, I’ll scour these morsels we’ve been thrown, I’ll maintain the gun of reality as much as their foreheads, identical to Niko Bellic did to Vlad in that GTA 4 mission. I’ll discover proof of a drop date for GTA 6 trailer three.
You may argue that there’s no proof we’re even due a 3rd GTA 6 trailer – that we’ve already had two, and gotten all the data we may need forward of the discharge date that’s now set in stone. I disagree. There must be one. There’s at all times extra in terms of the most important sport launch because the fall of Constantinople invented the RTS style.
Apart from, GTA 5 had three protagonists, as did GTA 4 in the event you depend the DLCs – the angels at Rockstar know the facility {that a} holy trinity wields over us puny mortals.
So, I hearth up trailer two for the seven thousandth time this week, as a result of what if – I ask myself, in a voice that’s nonetheless some bizarre, monstrous amalgamation of each GTA protagonist ever – the GTA 6 trailer two/delay information drop has something to inform us a few third GTA 6 trailer?
Trailer two begins with a joke. As I’ve advised you, that is no laughing matter, however it’s Rockstar making a gag about these leaks, so I have to – in my capability as their devoted servant/fan who spends 22 and a half hours a day on Twitter – giggle for at the least 20 minutes. The joke, although, serves a goal. It’s satisfied me that Rockstar is aware of the sport’s afoot.
There’s a racoon within the background rising from a bin. Frantically, I google which period of 12 months the critters usually mate. Late January to mid-March. May this be when GTA 6 trailer three is conceived forward of deployment within the run as much as that Could launch? May it’s when the trailer slinks out of the trash can onto our feeds? Possibly, however we’ll should preserve working.
Jason Duval is shirtless. I begin counting the person hairs on his very sweaty chest, which I’m observing in a wholly respectful method, as a result of he’s a GTA protagonist and we’re not worthy. I maintain a ruler as much as the display and attempt to measure the precise diameter of his nipples, within the hope that maths may yield a clue. I’ve to surrender. He’s simply too rattling attractive for me, a straight man in a basement, to pay attention.
We see Jason, now mercifully with a shirt on, driving, after which robbing a retailer. The money register. Written on it’s a quantity, the wrong way up. Oh Rockstar, you shouldn’t have, you understand I like dialling random telephone numbers I discover scrawled on partitions round city. 305-555-0145. I ring it. There’s no reply, maybe as a result of I’ve stopped paying my telephone payments to be able to finance seven separate GTA+ subscriptions without delay.
I panic, and resort once more to maths. 3 + 5 is eight. 5 x 3 is 15. 1 + 4 + 5 is 10. 15 + 10 is 25. 2025. That simply leaves the eight. The eighth month. August. AUGUST 2025 FOR GTA 6 TRAILER THREE? It appears implausible, however that’s by no means stopped me earlier than. Cling on. The moon phases! The previous dependable we relied on to foretell trailer two.
NO WAY. August 8 will see the moon seem as a WAXING GIBBOUS! The very moon part we thought would level to the second trailer’s arrival. That is unimaginable, I’ve cracked it. I will need to have. I can’t cease, although. There have to be extra information sneaking about like Michael De Santa throughout that mission for Solomon Richards if that’s cropped up.
Let’s see. There’s a freeway signal that hints at coming off at exit three to succeed in ninth Avenue in Southside Peacock Bay. Exit three = trailer three? Rockstar definitely has been peacocking with these trailers. Argh, is it attempting to confuse me, to throw me off the scent and lose the 5 star needed ranking?
Additional on, there’s an indication in a store that reads “A brand new billionaire each week”. A brand new little bit of GTA 6 information each week from now till Could 26 subsequent 12 months? No, no, it will possibly’t be. We’d all die from GTA 6 hype overload, foaming on the mouth like lots of the quite a few victims of substance abuse the GTA sequence has portrayed over time.
There she is. Lucia Caminos. ‘Scorching Collectively’ by The Pointer Sisters begins to play. Cling on. The Pointer Sisters. Scorching Collectively was launched in October 1986. It was their twelfth studio album, and eighth collaboration with producer Richard Perry. There’s that eight once more, however this time with a twelve. The tune was additionally used within the soundtrack for the 1987 film Spaceballs, which got here out on June 24. May that be the time after we get one thing? The reveal of a GTA 6: Spaceballs version?
As I attempt to work it out, I neglect to press pause and the trailer retains going. After I look again, Lucia’s backside in a pleasant gown is filling the display. As soon as once more, I’m paralysed as a result of issues are simply getting too attractive. Her bum swings back and forth as she walks. As soon as, twice, thrice earlier than the digicam cuts away.
THREE. Did Lucia’s derriere simply affirm trailer three is coming, past all doubt? As if to re-emphasise it, Jason then says “If we’re doing this, we’re doing it proper.”
I transfer on. The threes preserve coming. Bae-Luxe of Actual Dimez says ‘brrraapp’ thrice whereas doing finger weapons. Individuals yell ‘Vice Metropolis, child’, which is three phrases. Cal Hampton humps the air thrice whereas urging somebody to hook him up with one thing. Does he need early entry to trailer three?
It’s all an excessive amount of. I crash out and switch to the web site. I strive calculating the imply worth of the variety of screenshots of various characters and areas that Rockstar’s shared. It by some means provides as much as 5, which doesn’t appear to help my principle, so I disregard it as irrelevant.
I find yourself scrolling simply previous the bio of Lucia – the girl with the prophetic posterior.
“Jason’s buddy and a fellow affiliate of Brian’s, Cal feels most secure hanging at house, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a couple of beers and a few non-public browser tabs open,” reads the bit about Cal Hampton. His title is three letters lengthy, and there are two references to trios within the passage that prominently encompasses a checklist of three.
“What if the whole lot on the web was true?”
