GTA 6 Trailer 2 Drops With A Bang — But Fans Still Fume Over Delay: WATCH VIDEO
GTA 6 Trailer 2: Rockstar Games just pulled off a classic move — dropping the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI without warning and sending the internet into a frenzy. Released on Tuesday via the studio’s official YouTube channel, the new footage peels back more layers of the game’s gritty tale starring Jason and Lucia, a criminal duo navigating the sun-soaked but sinister world of Leonida.
Check out GTA 6 Trailer 2 below:
Vice City Gets Wilder, Stakes Get Higher
The trailer expands on the turbulent journey first teased in the debut reveal. Set in the fictional state of Leonida — a Florida-inspired playground of chaos and excess — the story follows Jason and Lucia as they fall deeper into a web of danger. What starts as a simple heist goes sideways, setting off a domino effect of betrayal and criminal desperation.
“Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them,” Rockstar hints in the trailer description. “But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America… forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
Fans get a closer look at Jason living the Vice City life — holding up convenience stores, lifting weights on the beach, and cruising through the neon-lit streets. Lucia, equally fierce, appears alongside him as their escapades spiral into a high-octane blur of bar fights, underground brawls, and frantic getaways.
Online Reactions: Love for the Trailer, Rage for the Delay
Social media lit up within minutes of the trailer’s release. Hashtags like #GTA6 and #Leonida surged to the top of trending charts. But the celebration was short-lived. Rockstar also confirmed that GTA 6 won’t arrive until May 26, 2026, pushing fans' patience to the limit.
The announcement, made via Rockstar’s Newswire, read: “Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on 26 May 2026. We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.”
The delay triggered a wave of frustration across X (formerly Twitter). One fan page, GTA 6 Countdown, replied to the announcement post saying, “If you are gonna delay it, at least give us some screenshots. This marketing strategy may be working for you, but it is painful for the fans.”
Another user, @DarrylRMFC_, didn’t mince words: “I speak for everyone when I say, keep the game—we don’t want it anymore.”
Perhaps the most theatrical response came from a devastated fan who wrote, “I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This delay has ruined my life and my expectations. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Rockstar. I am no longer a fan.”
A Heftier Price Tag This Time Around
As anticipation builds, so does speculation around the game’s price. Reports suggest that GTA 6 could launch with a noticeably steeper cost than earlier entries. The standard edition might be priced around Rs 5,999, while special editions could touch Rs 7,299. In global markets, that number could reach up to Rs 9,000 — a significant jump for fans looking to get their hands on Rockstar’s most ambitious title yet.
Whether the delay dents its momentum remains to be seen. But one thing's certain — Rockstar has the world watching.
