If we look around at the theories and delirium about when we might finally receive a second trailer for the game, we'll have to agree that how wrong it was all, and it is way bigger than it may look. Additionally, a Twitter user pointed out that former Rockstar North environment artist David O'Reilly, whose YouTube name is 'Game World Art', was on the project up until 2023. He also noted that the development started "after we wrapped up on RDR2", reported The Gamer. "I worked on GTA 6 from 2018 to 2023. Went onto it after we wrapped up on RDR2. It's fascinating having a look at all this stuff. - David O'Reilly," he quoted. Fans react to the 2018 development of GTA 6 As soon as this update surfaced on Reddit, fans quickly started discussing it. One wrote, "People like to fantasise that the game has been in development since 2013. Yes, the concepts and writing, but full-scale actual development would've started around the time RDR2 was coming out." "I was not bothered by the first trailer but after 2 it's all I can think about. I can not believe there's another year to go.😭" "They still delivered some pretty fire online dlcs like cayo perico before they dropped the ball in 2022."

GTA 6 delay concerns creep in again amid trailer 2 speculation
GTA 6 fans are concerned the game could be receiving a delay, after reading old posts from an ex-Rockstar employee. Rockstar Games announced GTA 6 back in December 2023, kicking off the announcement with a trailer. Along with the trailer also came a release window: 2025. Despite the hype behind it, we have yet to see a second trailer or even any screenshots. will be the first Grand Theft Auto game since 2013. And as we slowly approach a year and a half since the announcement, the question of whether the game could see a delay has been often repeated by fans. Last year, ex-Rockstar employee Obbe Vermeij posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the decision to delay GTA 6 would only come at a critical time – around 4 months from the original release date. "The decision to delay GTA IV was made 4 months or so before the original release date," Vermeij wrote. "Any further and it's hard to make the call. R* is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish. "Also: GTA VI will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about. They are not going to release the game until they're 100% happy with it. No matter what it said in the trailer. I have no inside info. Didn't talk to anyone."The decision to delay gtaIV was made 4 months or so before the original release date. Any further and it's hard to make the call.

"If they delay it better show something like gameplay or give us something," wrote on user on Reddit. "I'm optimistic because I think the delay already happened and GTA was supposed to be spring 2025 game," another fan wrote. "At the same time though, everything they've done so far has been completely different from their previous releases," another comment wrote. "So it's not insane to think the delay trend might also change. However, of course, a delay is always a possibility." If a GTA 6 delay does indeed happen, we'd probably hear about it soon. Considering Rockstar's dedication to making polished experiences, any kind of delay would be made for a good reason.
