Speculation suggests that Rockstar Games may announce GTA 6 on October 26, 2023, according to an insider.
We are all eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), but it seems that Rockstar Games is delaying its release. Dedicated fans have been conducting some research and compiling all the information available from last year’s leaks while we have been hearing radio silence from Rockstar. They’ve even created a mock-up map that might contain up to 100 different locations, with rumors suggesting interstate travel may be possible. The franchise’s wanted system may also be getting a significant overhaul, according to rumors. But what we really want is some official news, and one self-described insider says we might just get it next month.
This supposed insider goes by the name Chris Marx, using the username MarxxChris on Twitter. Marx boldly tweeted, “I can now confirm that Grand Theft Auto VI announcement is set to release on 26 October 2023.” Now, here’s the tricky part. Marx has made accurate predictions in the past. He correctly foresaw the appearances of games like Payday 3, Dragon’s Dogma II, and a Fable reboot during this year’s Summer Game Fest events. But, to be fair, those might have been educated guesses anyone could have made. It doesn’t necessarily mean Marx has secret inside information about GTA VI
Over on Reddit, the GTA VI community is buzzing with debates about whether Marx’s claim holds water. One user, MartianFromBaseAlpha, commented, “It’s probably bulls**t but I choose to believe it. It’s been almost five years since RDR2 came out. Do something Rockstar.” Another user, kensabrush, expressed skepticism, saying, “Considering Rockstar is so tight-lipped about leaks and barely ever seems to have dates set well in advance for announcements, I really doubt this guy would know that GTA VI is going to be announced exactly a month from now, but it’s also Rockstar, so maybe I’ll be proven wrong.”
User chamomileinyohood added an interesting perspective, noting, “No one has ever, ever in history correctly called the exact date of an announcement or trailer for a new, mainline GTA game.” So, it’s wise to take this ‘leak’ with a grain of salt and continue waiting eagerly for any official word from Rockstar Games about the highly anticipated GTA VI.
GTA 6 map leak leaves fans seriously concerned
You’re probably familiar with the anticipation around Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) if you’re a fan. Rockstar Games, the company behind the series, has been keeping us on our toes, and those so-called “insiders” keep dropping hints. While the official news on GTA VI is still missing, there’s no shortage of things to discuss in the meantime.
Recently, dedicated GTA fans have been hard at work. They’ve put together a massive document that essentially compiles all the information we’ve gathered about GTA VI so far. Much of this information comes from leaks that surfaced last year. In case you missed it, in September 2022, Rockstar Games fell victim to a major cyber attack. During this breach, over an hour’s worth of in-development footage, along with screenshots and source code, was stolen. Using that footage, fans have created a massive mock-up map for GTA VI, which they believe includes over 100 unique locations. However, there’s a twist – one insider is now hinting that the map might not be as massive as fans originally assumed.
Let’s talk about what we know about GTA VI’s map. It’s widely speculated that the game will be set in Vice City, although leaks have hinted at the possibility of us exploring other locations like Cuba or even taking a trip back to the 1980s through flashbacks. A well-known industry leaker named Tom Henderson has cautioned us to manage our expectations. Interestingly, he issued this warning about the map size two years ago, so why is it suddenly getting more attention? Well, almost everything else Henderson said back then has turned out to be somewhat true.
Henderson had previously hinted at a potential release date around 2024/5, the return of Vice City, the introduction of multiple characters, including a female hacker, and a revamped GTA Online that would evolve with live events. The majority of this information has now been confirmed by other leaks, which is why fans are starting to worry about Henderson’s warning regarding the map size.
One Reddit user, griefer_101, commented, “It seems like he was right all along. The map thing is concerning though.” Another user, ToughAd2406, added, “Maybe he is referring to people who think the map is going to be the actual size of an entire state or even multiple states. It may just be a few small areas or cities and a highway connecting them or something like that, which I would still be satisfied with.” That’s a reasonable perspective to consider. “I don’t know about 2 times bigger than GTA V, but it’s definitely going to be bigger,” mentioned tbomgv. The long wait for an official reveal of GTA VI continues, and fans are eager to see how the map size will ultimately turn out.
