The news that caused quite a stir this weekend was undoubtedly the leaked video footage of Rockstar’s project Grand Theft Auto 6, the images of which have taken over the internet.

Given the scale of this affront, the developer was left with no choice but to publicly respond to the situation.
And rather than denying the authenticity of the revealed images, Rockstar took the bull by the horns and confirmed the intrusion into its servers.
We recently experienced a network breach where an unauthorized third party illegally accessed our systems and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development material for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto. At this point in time, we do not expect any disruption to our live game services, nor any long-term impact on the development of our ongoing projects.
We are very disappointed that details about our upcoming game are being shared with you in this way. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game continues as planned, and we remain committed to providing you, our players, with an experience that truly exceeds your expectations. We’ll let you know soon and of course we’ll give you a proper introduction to this next game when it’s ready. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support during this situation.

Good that Rockstar is sticking to its plans despite this history. At this point we don’t see how the leak could have affected the development of GTA 6, but we have to be happy about the essence of the news.
It’s a shame that the developer has to bear the brunt, but in the end two details in particular are confirmed, namely the arrival of a female character in a leading role, and all this in a place reminiscent of the southern United States.
It only remains to know when we will have something new to eat and, above all, when we can enjoy this new chapter of GTA!
