GTA 6 will reportedly NOT be set in the 80s as leak claims A recent GTA 6 leak surfaced detailing lots of information about the yet to be announced title. One noteworthy figure in the gaming industry has come out and outright said it\u2019s fake, though. Renowned news editor at Kotaku, Jason Schreier, while linking the GTA leak in question said: \u201cA good rule of thumb is that if a video game leak is a giant list of incredible-sounding bullet points, it\u2019s fake.\u201d Now, that\u2019s a pretty damning assessment. The leak revealed supposed details including: Codename: PROJECT AMERICAS – Set in Vice City and a new fictional city based on Rio de Janeiro – Only one playable protagonist \u2013 male, not female – Set in the 1970s\/80s – Storyline and character details – Weather being a heavy focus – Buildings and cars change through eras \u2013 suggesting the map may change based on the era – Next gen only – Another Rockstar title (Bully 2) to come out before GTA 6 – A good rule of thumb is that if a video game leak is a giant list of incredible-sounding bullet points, it’s fake https:\/\/t.co\/lWHFRv9xZk pic.twitter.com\/o9SZWcQPuJ \u2014 Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) July 2, 2019 Is it or isn\u2019t it fake? Whether the leak is incorrect remains to be seen but Schreier is absolutely correct when he calls the leak a giant list of incredible sounding bullet points. If the leak is true it has revealed the bulk of what GTA 6 will encapsulate. The leaker himself, \u201cJackOLantern1982\u201d responded to Schreier\u2019s claims that the leak was fake, simply replying: \u201cYeah, no it isn\u2019t.\u201d Other comments suggested a supposed Linkedin profile was faked by JackOlantern1982. What\u2019s extra interesting though, is that Schreier seems absolutely certain the leak is fake. The leaker claimed: \u201cI have two friends who are very reliable and have worked for places such as Kotaku and PC Gamer.\u201d This could be the reason Schreier is so sure the leak is fake but it would be possible for someone working at Kotaku to know something and not have shared it. His certainty almost makes it seem like he knows something about the game already, possibly through an inside source, therefore knowing that this particular leak is fake. Exciting time for Grand Theft Auto If this is the case it would add credence to another, earlier, GTA leak as Schreier didn\u2019t denounce that one. That leak stated the game would be based across America with infamous GTA locations making up the cities. If true this could only result in Grand Theft Auto 6 being incredibly ground-breaking. There have been a lot of GTA leaks making the rounds in 2019 so it\u2019s getting hard to keep track of what seems legitimate and what doesn\u2019t. What we can be sure on though is that Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming and an announcement is a when not an if.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
