GTA 6 Leaker Provides Worrying Game Development Update

Summary

GTA 6’s development faces delays as the story is being reworked due to problems in the final chapter.
Insider hints point to a new GTA 6 story structure with five chapters, different from past games.
Fans should approach leaked info with skepticism until Rockstar provides official details on GTA 6.

Grand Theft Auto 6’s development might be in more trouble than originally thought, at least according to a leaker with a proven track record. Every new Grand Theft Auto release sends shockwaves throughout the world of gaming, and fans have been eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto 6 for the past several years. Rockstar finally showed the game off for the first time in late 2023, with a tentative release window suggesting that Grand Theft Auto 6 could come later this year.

However, when the second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer was released last month, it came with the unfortunate news that the game was being delayed until May 26, 2026. This came as little surprise to those familiar with Rockstar’s other works, and Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick later explained that the developer needed more time to ensure that Grand Theft Auto 6 would live up to fans’ high expectations. Some insiders are already expecting GTA 6 to eventually be delayed a second time, and a new report could add more fuel to that speculation.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Just Hit an Unfortunate Milestone

April 17 marks a somber day for Grand Theft Auto fans, as the highly anticipated GTA 6 reaches an unfortunate milestone.

GameRoll, an insider who has shared information about Grand Theft Auto 6 in the past, recently revealed further insight into the game’s development on Discord, as reported by Dexerto. According to GameRoll, the later parts of Grand Theft Auto 6’s story are being reworked, with the final chapter supposedly having been in “development hell” for some time now. Much of this chapter was apparently cut during development, requiring the rework.

Insider Claims GTA 6 Story Is Being Reworked

GameRoll says that Grand Theft Auto 6’s story will have five chapters in total, one less than 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2. They further explained that the GTA 6 trailers so far have featured footage from the game’s first three chapters, and that fans haven’t seen anything from the second half. This would make sense if the latter two sections of that story are still unfinished, but GameRoll is quick to note that their information comes from an indirect source and that it might not be accurate.

GameRoll has made a few correct predictions about Grand Theft Auto 6 in the past, such as claiming the male protagonist was named Jason before this was officially confirmed in the second GTA 6 trailer. GameRoll’s massive GTA 6 leaks have also hinted at a limited weapon wheel system in the style of Red Dead Redemption 2, the ability to switch between Jason and Lucia, and the ability to go prone being cut. None of this has been officially confirmed, so fans will have to treat it all with a healthy dose of skepticism as they wait for more concrete news from Rockstar about Grand Theft Auto 6.
