Esperanza Gracia already said it: if Mercury is retrograde, we have to wonder when the third trailer for ‘GTA VI’ will be released. The stars have been guiding humanity for millennia, but they also serve something equally important as trying to guess when we’ll see the next Rockstar release.
Those responsible for it affirm that the marketing campaign will begin very soon. However, a Reddit user claims that the new trailer for ‘GTA VI’ will arrive next May 14 at 11:00. This prediction stands out not just as another leak but as a mathematically grounded assertion rooted in extensive research. The user has been tracking planetary positions related to each trailer launch of a Rockstar game since 2007.
‘GTA VI’ and Pluto Sagittarius
The first trailer for ‘GTA VI’ premiered on December 4, 2023, followed by the second on May 6, 2025. Rockstar is taking its time, and rightly so. Given the current state of the gaming industry, it feels like the universe has entrusted the developer with the responsibility of delivering an exemplary blockbuster from day one.
This “universe” thing can be literal. On Reddit, user JalapenoPoppers24 has shared extensive insights and graphics demonstrating why May 14 is likely to be the launch date for the final trailer of ‘GTA VI.’ This date refers to the significant trailer before the actual game launch, previously set for May 26 and delayed to November 19.
The Mathematics Behind the Prediction
JalapenoPoppers24 has dedicated three months to this analysis. To summarize their findings: “I obtained the exact UTC timestamp of all 26 confirmed Rockstar reveal events from GTA IV onwards (including every trailer and gameplay video) and analyzed the geocentric ecliptic longitudes of the nine classic bodies in each release.” According to the user, 24 of the 26 posts occurred with Pluto in Sagittarius, reinforcing a concerning correlation.
Moreover, the data revealed interesting patterns like the Mercury-Sun conjunction appearing in eight of the 26 posts, a configuration that occurs approximately 11% of the time yearly. Such a revelation pushes forth the notion that astrology may carry more weight in the gaming realm than one might think.
A Noteworthy Connection
Interestingly, the predicted date aligns closely with historical observations. Trailer 2 for ‘GTA V’ was postponed from November 2 to November 14, a date echoing this prediction. The astrological conditions on May 14—which features the Sun in Taurus, Mercury conjunct with the Sun, and Saturn in Aries—could very well signal a significant moment for Rockstar’s marketing efforts. JalapenoPoppers24 graded each day within a 123-day window and found May 14 scored the highest.
Conclusion: The Stars Align
I admit I was lost in the astrological nuances, but it’s clear that the 14th is more than a mere coincidence. As we approach this date, the excitement builds. The marketing campaign for ‘GTA VI’ is reportedly gearing up to be one of the most aggressive in the industry.
The anticipation surrounding this release is palpable, and it’s no wonder; the game is set to shatter records across the board. Recently, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, commented that the marketing campaign would begin “soon.” It’s logical to assume that dropping a trailer before May 21, right before an important earnings call, would be a strategic move.
