Summary
Update 20:00 GMT:As fun as that half-an-hour was,a Discord member by the name of Long Long Time has come forward and proven the leak to be fake. They worked on the clip for a month in Unreal Engine 5, so I can’t even be too mad about it.
A new clip showing gameplay footage ofGrand Theft Auto 6has seemingly popped up on social media, although it’s not clear if it comes from the build that leaked in 2022.
As painful as it is that we’ve gonemore than a whole year since Rockstar Games finally officially announced GTA 6 to the world, let’s take a second to remember what it was likebeforethat trailer.Despite knowing a new game was in the works, we had seen nothing official about it and only had guesswork and insider claims to go off of.
At least,that was the case until Rockstar suffered a massive leak in September of 2022, which revealed a bunch of in-development footage of GTA 6. This not only gave us a look at the game’s two protagonists (one of which is still yet to be officially named), but confirmed Vice City as the setting and showed how detailed the world will be.
30 Seconds Of New GTA 6 Footage Has Seemingly Leaked
Since that huge leak revealed hours of gameplay of GTA 6, Rockstar has massively clamped down on leaks and nothing else appears to have come out from the highly-anticipated game. That was the case until earlier today,when a new clip emerged on social mediathat seems to have never been seen before.
The footage, which we won’t embed here but is easy enough to find as of the time of writing,appears to come from a development build of the game. In it, the camera focuses on an alleyway and highlights a CCTV camera that seems to have some function with in-game robberies. That’s really all there is to the clip but, if real, it does show us a close look at GTA 6’s world.
Although there was initially some doubt as to whether the footage was real,fans noticed the location actually matches up with real life, something that Rockstar always likes to do.The car brands shown in the clip also match the world of GTA, while the Rage engine’s motion blur can also be seen as things move around.
Until Rockstar responds to the leak, we won’t know for sure, but at the very least it definitely hasn’t been seen before. Since it’s a developer build, itlikely comes from the batch of 2022 leaks and just hasn’t been shown until now, so don’t expect it to remain on the internet for too much longer.
