Explaining the map of Red Light District from the Grand Theft Auto Online 2001 project, the user stated:

“This map includes boundaries and some notable changes, such as stairs added in front of Claude’s safehouse, giving players access to the roof. It offers a glimpse of what multiplayer gameplay might have been like, with elements reminiscent of GTA meets Call of Duty.”

For years, fans knew that Rockstar Games planned and canceled a multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto 3. However, the things disclosed by the new GTA leaks surprised everyone as the studio was surely thinking way ahead of its time.

Obbe Vermeij — the former Technical Director at Rockstar Games — also acknowledged the GTA 3 leaked documents and confirmed some of the details. He stated that he worked on the multiplayer project for around four weeks before the studio decided to scrap it permanently.
