Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time, so it’s no surprise that players have been overly eager to hear more about GTA 6. This has resulted in a few controversies, including an arrest following a massive leak. With very little official word from Rockstar, the thirst for GTA 6 information only strengthens. It appears this has driven some fans to desperate measures to find out more about the game.
Twitter user @GTAVInewz recently posted an image presenting a theory which claims we’re going to get more GTA 6 news soon. With over half a million views already, it’s caught quite a lot of people’s attention despite presenting easily irrefutable claims.
Does the moon predict the date of the next GTA 6 announcement?
According to the theory, Rockstar usually announces its games on a Tuesday. Right off the bat, the theory can be debunked, as the image claims that Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on a Tuesday. This is false, as October 26, 2018, fell on a Friday.
The image then claims that most GTA and RDR games are released in October. The final piece in the puzzle is a recent image posted by Rockstar on Twitter. It features a waning gibbous moon behind the Vinewood sign in GTA 5. We will happen to experience a waning gibbous moon on October 3, leading to the conclusion that a GTA 6 announcement is coming on this day.
Although amusing, this is definitely not a theory to put your money behind. Even without a GTA 6 announcement, October is set to be a massive month for gaming thanks to the release of several massive games, including Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, Spider-Man 2, and Alan Wake 2, to name just a few.
