A GTA 6 leak regarding the characters and story of Rockstar Games’ next title has been denied by a game insider who says many details are still “under discussion”.
So far, Rockstar Games has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to Grand Theft Auto 6. The iconic game’s developers have confirmed that the game is in development and they know they need to exceed certain expectations.
Due to this silence, fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the sandbox franchise have been drawn into a number of leaks and supposed rumors regarding the highly anticipated title.
Everything from the number of characters and their backstories to radio stations and mini-games has surfaced in these leaks. However, if you’re expecting a return to GTA 5’s three-character system, you’re going to be disappointed.
Fans are eagerly awaiting news regarding GTA 6.
Game Insider Debunks GTA 6 Character Leak
If you have seen the leaks about the fact that GTA 6 would have three characters and a character selection wheel similar to Grand Theft Auto 5 and you were excited about it, you’re going to be disappointed.
Game insider Jason Schreier denied the rumor on Reddit after fans claimed the leak had weight following a datamine about an upcoming GTA Online DLC.
“GTA VI does not have three protagonists. That’s all I’ll say for now” posted Schreier. The reporter also noted that “the game is under development and many details are still pending or have not yet been decided”and “no one has access to as much detailed information as what was posted by this Reddit user.”
Obviously, the news will be a blow to some fans who were hoping to be able to switch between characters again during missions, but it’s another example of how you need to be wary of rumors about GTA 6.
At this point, the game is still a few years away from release, and if Rockstar hasn’t cemented some details, the leaks could be already old shortly after being reported. It is therefore best to always take them with a healthy dose of skepticism.
