Next month will mark the one-year anniversary of the launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), which was released in December 2023. Fans have been eagerly awaiting more details about the highly anticipated game, but Rockstar Games has kept information scarce since then.
While the company did update its release window to fall 2025, it has yet to reveal any gameplay footage or new details, leading to mounting frustration and anticipation among fans. As a result, many are hoping that Rockstar will offer a second reveal in the coming months.
Despite the lack of official updates, fans have continued to dig into the 2022 leaked gameplay footage for any clues about what to expect from GTA VI. Some interesting tidbits have emerged, although they should be taken with caution, as the leaks have not been confirmed by Rockstar.
One Reddit user, Denso95, shared over 50 unique details they found in the leaked footage, sparking further speculation about the game’s world and mechanics. This kind of sleuthing has become a way for the community to stay engaged as they await official news.
Among the discoveries shared by Denso95, one notable find is the presence of a gang called ‘Guardia’ and a list of ambient events, such as a strip club construction labeled ‘PghStripClub2’. This suggests that the in-game world, especially Vice City, will evolve over time, providing a dynamic environment for players to explore.
While many of the leaks reveal familiar elements like UFOs, massage parlors, and bingo halls, others indicate that Rockstar might introduce more unusual and quirky features, like Bigfoot’s potential return or a bizarre ‘Strange Animal Deaths’ event line.
Other discoveries in the leak point to the inclusion of various locations and activities, such as a second city called Port Gelhorn, Miami Keys, an underwater research facility, and a fairyland forest puzzle. There are also mentions of island camps, a space center, and even a Swamp Safari Crazy Golf course.
One particularly unsettling tidbit reveals that torture will still be a part of the game, this time taking place in a warehouse, which implies that the game will continue the controversial and gritty tone set by its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V.
Although these leaks paint an intriguing picture of what GTA VI could offer, it’s important to remember that they remain unofficial until confirmed by Rockstar Games. If the leaks turn out to be true, however, it seems that Rockstar is building yet another immersive and detailed open world, filled with plenty of surprises for players to discover over the years. Fans will undoubtedly continue to scrutinize every bit of information that surfaces as they eagerly await the game’s official launch in 2025.
