@AwkwardDanil I just woke up and haven’t asked anyone yet but based on the scale hard to imagine it’s not real. Plus two protagonists and Vice City match what I reported earlier this year

I’ve been on paternity leave for less than a week and already we’ve seen Breath of the Wild 2 get a name, Toby Ziegler scream at Kratos, Suikoden return for the first time in ten years, and now the biggest leak in Rockstar’s history

@ArthurLexur

@jasonschreier So this pretty much confirms this is real Grand Theft Auto VI footage?

@jasonschreier @AwkwardDanil In one of the debug videos it has a controller layout showing and a button repeatedly lights up when the protag is running…. This is definitely a Rockstar game.

I despise tapping a button to run btw.

@jasonschreier @AwkwardDanil This is insane.

@Re7olutionnn

@jasonschreier @AwkwardDanil They will delay the game for like 3-5 years now. Good job hackers.

@BatFamNerd

@jasonschreier @ItzPaulHD_v1 @AwkwardDanil I’m more worried about the fact that Rockstar was hacked

@jasonschreier Leak is not really promising, many assets are straight stripped from GTAV, like trees and bins. More like a game mod that has been worked on for years

It seems that over 90+ ".mp4" footage/videos got leaked on GTAForums, although they looked like footage of the alpha build of the game, which might not display the actual quality of the product at all.

In one of the leaked footage, a female protagonist can be seen trying to steal from a store, which looks to be an in-game mission. Some videos also show the open-world, which looks like Vice City to some degree.

This information matches the earlier reported information in a Bloomberg article, where he shared possible insights into the upcoming game. In July, a source stated that the upcoming GTA 6 is reportedly going to feature two playable protagonists, a male, and a Latina female. He also shared the possibility of Vice City returning to the upcoming title.

Rockstar Games has spent the last four years overhauling its culture and working to become a kinder, more progressive company. But what does that actually look like? And what does it mean for the company's next game, Grand Theft Auto VI? My latest feature: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If the leaks are real, then this is indeed one of the biggest news stories in the history of the GTA series. Players are advised to take all this with a pinch of salt as nothing has been confirmed so far. One can now wait patiently and expect Rockstar to announce the game sooner or later due to these events.
