After Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay appeared to have been leaked, Rockstar Games commented. The game is still in development. The game creator expressed their “great disappointment” that they had disclosed information about one of their planned games this way. After almost a decade of waiting since the last Grand Theft Auto game’s release. Rockstar finally revealed GTA 6 earlier this year.
GTA Series
Rockstar games cited the fifth GTA game’s “extraordinary lifespan”. As the reason for the delay in releasing a new instalment in the series, and to be honest. It makes sense. GTA Online provided the game with a far longer life than previous games in the series. But the demands for a new instalment got louder and louder as the years passed.
Rockstar games and GTA 6
Fans finally found what they were looking for over the weekend when several videos purporting to be leaked footage of GTA 6 had made public. Rockstar games didn’t make them. Rockstar later verified that the large leak’s gameplay footage from what appeared to be a Grand Theft Auto game was accurate.
In a statement, Rockstar said they had experienced a breach following a “network intrusion”. Adding that someone had “illegally accessed and downloaded secret information,” including video from the future Grand Theft Auto production.
They expressed their disappointment at having any information about their upcoming game disclosed. We’ll continue working on the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto game as scheduled. We are just as committed as ever to giving you, our gamers, an experience that truly exceeds your expectations.
Leaked footage
Though we might have to wait a while to play GTA 6. Fans of the franchise have already seen the gameplay of a character named Luciana on the “Vice City” Metro.
Someone posing as the hacker published a list of demands online. However, making it seem like they were trying to negotiate a deal and may soon leak more material. Including a “GTA 6 testing build.”
The hacker said they gained access through a Rockstar employee’s Slack account and promised to hold off on revealing more information if they received payment. It is unclear whether that would truly occur, considering that Rockstar claims what happened was illegal and unlicensed. Sources close to the developer have confirmed some of the leaked videos allegedly from the future Grand Theft Auto game.
Following the recent leak of almost 90 videos displaying gameplay for the next version in a 3GB bundle on GTA forums. Fans of the action franchise were left perplexed.
Although the leaks hinted at the presence of a female playable character and Vice City, Rockstar Games, the game’s creator, remained silent, making it difficult to determine which of the leaked clips could be relied upon.
Grand Theft Auto game
Before the online uproar over the leaks, we contacted Rockstar Games for comment but received no answer. However, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier claims to have spoken with a Rockstar source and obtained additional details. They claim that the several videos for the sixth Grand Theft Auto game are ostensibly authentic. Although there wasn’t much doubt, Schreier said that he has confirmed with Rockstar games sources that this weekend’s enormous Grand Theft Auto VI leak is legitimate. At this point, I should emphasize that Rockstar has not yet responded to the leak, raising the likelihood that Schreier’s source is playing a joke on everyone.
The reporter continued by pointing out that the footage is “early and incomplete”. So the finalized product may appear very different from what fans have previously seen. This is one of the greatest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games,” Schreier concluded. The assertion has divided Twitter users, with some insisting that it is sufficient evidence. While others are still waiting for an official response from Rockstar.
Another clip reinforces assumptions about the game’s setting by showing a playable character on the “Vice City Metro” train, and a third has a dialogue by the pool. Fans will have to wait a while before playing GTA VI for themselves, regardless of how much the leaked videos disclose. According to sources, the game won’t be released for at least another two years. Fans of the game won’t be surprised to learn that a GTA sequel is in the works because there have been rumours of one for a long time series.
Rumours about the official release
Apart from putting a stop to rumours over whether we’d be receiving a sequel to one of the most popular video games ever. Rockstar is still quite vague about the specifics. There is still no word on a potential release date or what we might be able to anticipate from GTA 6. However, rumours from the inside indicate that work on the eagerly awaited sequel is still in its early phases. According to Comic Book, some insiders believe that 2026 may be the earliest date for the official release.
Aside from putting an end to speculation over whether we’d be getting a follow-up to one of the best-selling games of all time. Rockstar is still pretty sparse on the details, with no information yet as to a potential release date or what we might be able to expect from GTA 6. That being said, insider gossip has suggested things are still in the early stages of the hotly anticipated sequel, with Comic Book reporting that some in the know have told fans could be waiting until as far away as 2026 for the official release.
