The user has also claimed they're part of the same team that breached Uber in a recent "social engineering" attack. A large red banner has appeared across the top of the site, echoing the follow-up from the leak. The site of the original leak, GTAForums, stated it had been contacted by Rockstar Games parent, Take-Two Interactive, stipulating that copyrighted material be removed. The fallout continues from what many describe as the biggest leak in video game history.
While we still don’t know when to expect the release of GTA 6, there’s no doubt this historic leak will have rippling effects throughout the company. Rockstar Games has also stressed it is business as usual for the developer, with its existing titles and future projects facing no “long-term effect” following the leak.
The user behind the leaked gameplay has also stated they have access to GTA 5 and GTA 6 source code, a claim seemingly contradicted by Rockstar Games' latest statement. The latest hack on Rockstar Games remains a rapidly developing situation and we’re still scoping out what the breach entailed. Uber has issued a statement noting that it's working with the FBI and US Department of Justice in tandem with Take Two to look into this series of hacks. In an interesting twist, Take Two Interactive has won itself an unlikely ally in ride-sharing service Uber.
This will be the first mainline GTA game to be released since the extremely popular GTA V in 2013. The leak is not expected to delay the release. There is no confirmed release date for the new game, but it is expected to come in either 2024 or 2025. It also shared that the game will be set in a fictionalised version of Miami, Florida – as GTA: Vice City was in 2002. It appeared to confirm a rumour that GTA VI will include a playable female character for the first time in the series’s history. The leak included some early gameplay footage and animation tests.
