The wait is over! We’ll see GTA 6 this week. That’s almost certain

To write that GTA 6 is the most anticipated video game in history is to say nothing. 10 years have passed since the premiere of the last installment of the series (which in the meantime became the most profitable entertainment product in history), and impatient gamers have been waiting for any signal from Rockstar studio for a long time.

And I guess they’ll finally get it. Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg journalist and one of the most reliable sources in the gaming industry, reported on Tuesday evening that Rockstar “plans to announce the next, highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto game this week.”

According to information obtained by Schreier, the announcement of GTA 6 is also to be an introduction to a larger event related to the game, which is scheduled for December.

The leaks obtained by Jason Schreier also lend credence to the fact that Take-Two, the owner of Rockstar Games, plans to announce its financial results for the last quarter on Wednesday. The announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6 would be a very positive signal sent to the stock exchange and investors.

The great GTA 6 data leak. Photos, videos and gameplay found their way online

Rockstar Games officially confirmed in February 2022 that “active work is underway” on a new installment of the Grand Theft Auto series. However, the manufacturer did not provide any release date for GTA 6 or any details about this production.

In September 2022, however, recordings showing fragments of gameplay from the new GTA were leaked on the GTAForums forum. There were 90 different clips. The recordings showed several elements of the game in the development phase, including the world map, shooting and character movement mechanics, and enemy AI.

Initially, it seemed that we might be dealing with an internet joke like many others. However, the worst-case scenario for Rockstar Games quickly came true. First, the authenticity of these recordings was confirmed by Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, one of the most reliable journalists in the gaming industry:

This is one of the biggest leaks in the history of video games and a nightmare for Rockstar

– he commented on Twitter. A day later, Rockstar broke the silence:

We recently experienced a network breach in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded sensitive information from our systems, including early footage from the next Grand Theft Auto.

– the company wrote in a statement.
