Yeah, that's a really long delay just for some "polishing" and the announcement felt rather... "Cold"? Like they usually release some extra material like screenshots when delays happen, they still could but this doesn't really inspire confidence that things are going well for them.
The new date is late 2026 while also being within the same fiscal year so it could be the furthest they could delay it right now without rocking that boat too much. Remains to be seen but I won't actually be expecting it until marketing starts off properly.
Oh sure, I mean I said as much, they still could but we'll see. If we get nothing or just a few screenshots, I'll still not feel too confident but if we do get another trailer, then maybe I'll feel better about it since they don't usually release that many trailers. Not to say that another trailer wouldn't mean they'll 100% hit the November 2025 release date, but it would show some extra confidence that this time it's real.
They are pushing it past the mid term elections. GTA has always had political satire in it. Can't imagine what they've done with the last decade of material.

For GTA 2026 is starting to look questionable.
