Massive data leak from Rockstar. More games and eight add-ons for GTA 5 were to be created

Rockstar has been having a lot of bad luck lately. In 2022, the studio fell victim to one of the largest leaks in history, many materials showing GTA 6 appeared online, and the company had to confirm that work on the most anticipated game of the last decade was actually in progress. When finally, at the beginning of December this year Rockstar

Add-ons for GTA 5, GTA Tokyo, Bully 2 and Agent. Lots of data about Rockstar on the Internet

Now, more materials that were allegedly stolen from Rockstar’s servers during a massive leak that occurred in early 2022. First of all, this is the full source code of GTA 5, which was supposed to be leaked two years ago, but has never been published in its entirety before. In addition, hackers revealed other never-before-published materials about GTA 5 (including an early map of the game world).

What’s more, we learned that the game was supposed to receive as many as eight independent expansions, including one telling Trevor’s story, but none of them was ever released. Ultimately, the company was to devote itself to the GTA Online online mode, which brought huge profits. For a similar reason, work on GTA Tokyo, a separate version of GTA taking place in the capital of Japan, was to be interrupted.

In addition, fragments of the source code of the highly anticipated GTA 6 were also shown online and it was revealed that Rockstar was working (or is working) on ​​Bully 2, but its future is currently unknown. Interestingly, however, the studio is reportedly working on the revival of the Agent game, which was announced in 2009 but was never released. There is also information that Rockstar is also working on a completely new production set in a fantasy world.

Rockstar has a huge problem. Young hacker too

The biggest problem for Rockstar currently seems to be the leak of the full GTA V source code. Of course, it is difficult to say for now whether the code that was supposed to appear in the so-called underground of the internet, is real. If so, the studio will have serious problems fighting cheaters who bypass GTA Online security. And the online version of GTA 5 is still a goose laying golden eggs for Rockstar.

18-year-old hacker Arion Kurtaj, who was considered a key member of the Lapsus$ group responsible for the attack on Rockstar in early 2022 and revealing the stolen data, also received a drastic punishment. By breaking into the studio responsible for GTA and several other companies, the group allegedly caused damage of $10 million. last week that the autistic hacker could not be sent to prison but would be locked up in a psychiatric hospital indefinitely. He recently declared that after his release he would continue his hacking activities, so the judge decided that he would only be released when doctors determined that he no longer posed a threat.
