🕹️ GTA 6 Trailer Drought Hits 500 Days — And Fans Turn to the Pope for Relief
It’s been 500 days since Rockstar Games dropped the first (and only) GTA 6 trailer, and fans are officially losing their minds — but in the most hilarious way possible.
Instead of raging, the community has turned to memes. The latest trending one? Comparing the wait for GTA 6 with… the Pope.
“We got a new Pope before we got the GTA 6 trailer.”
— one fan joked on Reddit, sparking a meme avalanche.
While the comment is obviously an exaggeration (Pope Francis has been around since 2013), it hit a nerve online because it feels like we’ve been waiting that long.
📆 What’s Taking Rockstar So Long?
Rockstar dropped the official GTA 6 announcement trailer on December 5, 2023, breaking the internet with its stunning visuals, Vice City setting, and introduction of characters like Lucia. Since then? Silence.
The community expected a second trailer in late 2024, but now we're in mid-2025, and there's still no update — not even a teaser.
💬 Fan Reactions Are Gold
Across Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok, fans are having a field day with jokes like:
-
“Lucia’s already served her GTA prison time before the next trailer.”
-
“GTA 6 trailer 2 confirmed to drop after GTA 7 teaser.”
-
“At this point, the Pope will retire before we get new footage.”
Despite the frustration, fans are keeping the tone light and playful — which might be the only thing keeping them sane.
🔍 Is There Any New Info About GTA 6?
While Rockstar has stayed tight-lipped, a few leaks and reports suggest:
-
The game is still in development, with a potential late 2025 or early 2026 release
-
GTA 6 could be Rockstar’s most ambitious open-world game ever, with dynamic events, dual protagonists, and AI-driven NPCs
-
Internal sources hint that marketing will ramp up in Q3 2025
But for now, fans are just stuck refreshing Rockstar’s social feeds, hoping for a miracle.
🤯 The Power of the GTA Fandom
What’s fascinating is how GTA fans manage to stay united — even after nearly a decade of waiting since GTA 5. Their blend of sarcasm, creativity, and patience is unmatched.
Other fan theories for the delay include:
-
Rockstar is avoiding leaks and overhype
-
The second trailer might coincide with a big gaming event like The Game Awards 2025
-
They’re tweaking graphics to match rising expectations
Whatever the case, fans are watching — and they’ll probably meme their way through another 100 days if they have to.
