A promotional image for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto Online December update has sparked fan speculation about the next GTA 6 trailer release date, with the community focusing on a lunar phase visible in the artwork.
The image features a waning gibbous moon. Reddit user tnasstyy identified this specific lunar phase will occur on November 17, suggesting it could indicate the timing of the next Grand Theft Auto 6 announcement. Further analysis by community members suggests the exact lunar phase shown in the image may actually appear closer to November 22.

This lunar observation follows a pattern fans discovered earlier. Before Rockstar Games announced the December 5 release date for the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, they released a Grand Theft Auto Online Moon Festival screenshot. That image included a waning gibbous moon that corresponded to December 1 - the day Rockstar announced the trailer's upcoming release.
The Grand Theft Auto community has a documented history of discovering hidden details. During the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas era, players dedicated years to searching for Bigfoot in the game's wilderness. Rockstar later included the creature in Grand Theft Auto 5. Currently, fans analyze every detail of the existing GTA 6 trailer, from architectural elements to currency serial numbers.
