GTA 6 Fan Theory: GTA 6 release date sparks fan theory tied to Red Dead Redemption 2 song
Rockstar Games' announcement that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released on May 26, 2026, has fueled an intriguing fan theory based on a certain lyric from Red Dead Redemption 2 . The lyrics of the eerie song "Red" by Daniel Lanois, "seven months gone and seven years to go," have been buzzing on the internet, with fans guessing that Rockstar possibly revealed the GTA 6 release date as early as 2018 in a subtle manner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Lyric from RDR2 song breathes new life into fan theories The theory hinges on a single verse from the RDR2 song Red , which says: 'Seven months gone and seven years to go.' Interestingly, that exact timeframe, 7 years and 7 months, matches the span between the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on October 26, 2018, and the newly confirmed release date of GTA 6 on May 26, 2026. This overlap, combined with Rockstar's history of intricate Easter eggs, has fueled speculation that the lyric was a veiled prediction for GTA 6's eventual release. The theory gained traction on fan sites and social media, where many proposed the studio quietly seeded this hint years prior. The lyric is, however, subject to interpretation and aligns thematically with RDR2's tale of time, remorse, and captivity. Fans have gone a step further by analyzing other parts of the song and how it might metaphorically align with Rockstar's future roadmap, though none of this is backed by any official source. Did Rockstar plant a subtle hint in 2018, or are fans reading too much into it? Although the lyrical congruence is striking, Rockstar has never acknowledged any secret message connecting the RDR2 song to GTA 6. The lyric, penned for the emotional context of RDR2's narrative, could be merely a thematic fit and not a specific reference to a forthcoming game. Nevertheless, considering Rockstar's history of placing layered clues and callbacks within their games, fans have every right to be curious. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Intentional or not, the theory contributes another layer of mystery to Rockstar's storytelling and marketing history. Until Rockstar speaks, or drops more, this fan theory is still unverified. But with GTA 6's official release date now aligning with a lyric from RDR2 to the same month and year, it's no wonder the community is abuzz. Whether an expertly concealed Easter egg or a poetic coincidence, it demonstrates just how intently fans are paying attention. Also Read:
