The gaming world is abuzz as new developments arise around Grand Theft Auto VI, with Rockstar finding itself in the spotlight for reasons beyond its upcoming game’s highly anticipated release. The studio is currently embroiled in controversy for allegedly dismissing 34 employees, all union members, accused of sharing sensitive information. While these accusations swirl, a fresh leak provides a glimpse into the next chapter of the iconic Grand Theft Auto series.
Leaked Animations Stir Excitement
Character animator Benjamin Chue inadvertently added fuel to the fire by uploading a demo reel, which eagle-eyed Reddit users quickly noticed. The reel predominantly showcases animations from Red Dead Redemption 2, Max Payne 3, and Grand Theft Auto V. However, the opening clips appear to be from the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. While Chue’s clips are notably vague, they may have inadvertently leaked confidential content that could land the animator in hot water similar to their former colleagues.
What the Clips Reveal
The initial clip showcases a character returning a bike, suggesting a potential bike rental feature in the game. Following this, a female character is seen leaping from the top of a truck, possibly alluding to Lucia Caminos, one of the game’s speculated main characters. Despite Rockstar’s swift efforts to remove the video from the internet, it has been redistributed, allowing fans to catch a sneak peek of what’s to come.
The Future Awaits
These leaked animations raise questions about their role in the final product, whether they’ll be part of gameplay or integrated into cinematic cutscenes. With the game’s release postponed to November 2026, enthusiasts eagerly await to see how these early glimpses will manifest in the highly anticipated game. Speculations continue to mount as fans dissect the leaks, eager for more insights into Rockstar’s next blockbuster.
