A GTA 6 mural is taking shape at the corner of Wythe Avenue and North 11th Street in Brooklyn. According to Notebookcheck, which picked up photos and a video shared on Reddit, the Grand Theft Auto logo, Jason and Lucia holding weapons, and palm trees are already recognizable.
The location is not random. Notebookcheck reports that Rockstar reportedly used the same corner for a GTA V mural in 2013, and several earlier GTA games were promoted with hand-painted building walls. Thirteen years on, the publisher would be returning to familiar ground, once again weeks before launch.
A Reddit user, u/Omfish, says he is working on the project. Per Notebookcheck, he is a freelancer for a company called Colossal, which allegedly produced hand-painted ads for GTA: San Andreas. He describes one to two weeks of work in eight to ten hour shifts, with completion planned for Friday, October 9 if all goes well. None of this has been independently verified.
One more detail matters: the mural is reportedly temporary. The artist mentions roughly a month on display, so it could be painted over before November 19. The latest photos show Jason and Lucia largely finished, with a palm tree, some leaves and the big "Grand Theft Auto" lettering still to do.
It is not an isolated case. The same outlet recalls the large billboards on the roof of the Miami Heat arena, which we covered in our piece on the outdoor campaign. Brooklyn joins Miami and Paris, and the whole starts to look like a full media plan.
Interpretation is another matter. Some Reddit users read it as a sign of an imminent trailer, with October 15 floated by internet users. Notebookcheck stresses that nothing concrete supports this and Rockstar has announced nothing. A mural says something about an advertising calendar, not about new content.
Nothing about the game itself, a lot about pacing. The known dates remain those on our release page: November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. If the paint is up for a month, it suggests most outdoor advertising is concentrated in the final five weeks. Worth watching, without getting carried away.
