History of Rockstar’s October Revelations
For those who have been following the Grand Theft Auto series, the 24th of October is more than just a date on the calendar. Historically, Rockstar has been known to make major announcements in October, particularly on Tuesdays. The entire gaming community had their eyes fixed on this date, hoping for a significant reveal.
The Build-up to the Big Day
Leading up to the day, rumors had been swirling that this would be the day when the world would get its first official look at GTA 6. The speculation reached fever-pitch when Rockstar Games uploaded an unprecedented video on their official website, hinting at some big news.
The Unexpected Turn of Events
But when the day finally came, instead of the unveiling of the much-anticipated GTA 6 trailer, what the gaming community got was a new skin reveal for Red Dead Online. This turn of events left many fans dumbfounded, especially after trusted Rockstar insiders had marked this as the big day for GTA 6 news.
The Community Reacts
The reaction was immediate. Fans flocked to social media to voice their disbelief and disappointment. One gamer humorously remarked, “I might grow old, have three kids, get divorced, and Grand Theft Auto 6 will still be unannounced.”
Others echoed the sentiment, with tweets like “All that hype for this tweet?” and “Why play with my emotions, Rockstar?”. The community tried to find solace by analyzing every inch of the Red Dead Online skin image, hoping to discover a hidden hint or clue about GTA 6, but to no avail.
