Liberty City in GTA 6? New trailer fuels hopes of a second city

At first, GTA 6's new pre-load trailer seemed to offer little beyond a possible jab at fans who criticized an earlier backflip animation. Now, however, another detail has caught fans' attention. This time, the focus is on a yacht that appears around the 10-second mark. On its stern, beneath the name "Ships And Giggles," is the word "Gloriana."

The lettering alone doesn't reveal much. But a post by GTA content creator TGG has turned it into a discussion about a possible second map. TGG shared an image of the yacht on X alongside a piece of clothing he described as a "Liberty City shirt." He also remarked, seemingly sarcastically, that these details were surely just there for worldbuilding. His comment appears to suggest that Rockstar could be hinting at locations beyond the game's known setting.

Exactly what TGG believes the yacht's lettering might reveal remains unclear. Still, some users on X find the idea of additional locations plausible and speculate that "Gloriana" could refer to another state – perhaps Rockstar's fictional take on Georgia. The supposed "Liberty City shirt" has left fans puzzled, however, as there's no obvious connection to the city.

95% certain Liberty City will appear

The speculation goes a step further in the replies to TGG's post. X user Blue Thunder claims to be 95% certain that Liberty City will appear as a second map in GTA 6. According to his theory, the metropolis familiar from GTA 4 would become accessible roughly halfway through the campaign. However, he offers no concrete evidence to support the claim.

The theory has raised hopes on Reddit, although it also seems rather far-fetched. Blue Thunder provides no evidence to back up his prediction, and the 95% figure is simply his personal estimate. Whether GTA 6 (available for pre-order on Amazon) actually features additional cities or states should become clear in just a few days.
