On Sunday morning the first gameplay seemingly leaked from the upcoming GTA6. If this is legitimate, it’s the first look we have at the game. It was rumored for years that the game would have both male and female playable characters and feature Vice City. This video seems to confirm both those rumors.
The video, embedded below, features, gunplay, dialogue, robberies, some interesting unfinished assets (those strippers just look like the sex dolls from Saints Row), and more. The debug tools that appear on screen appear to be those same ones from Red Dead Redemption 2. If they’re using the same engine, that would make sense that they do.
Teapotuberhacker claims that these came from Rockstar’s internal Slack groups, but some aren’t convinced. Reusing so much of Grand Theft Auto 5’s assets has some people convinced that these are fake. It’s been nine years since the fifth game came out and it’s been updated multiple times for PC and throughout generations of consoles, so it could make sense why the game is reusing assets. The assets could also be placeholders and not meant to ship with the final release of the game.
GTA6 was confirmed earlier this year and was said it would be released when Rockstar was ready, but if legitimate, the video proves that it could be pretty far along in development. Could we see it release next year? Ten years from the release of GTA5 could be the goal. I know if this is legit, I am excited. I can’t wait to get back into a GTA game and seeing as how GTA5 is the only Grand Theft Auto that I completed the story (so far) I can’t wait to get into whatever comes next.
