December 2023 is Going to Be Massive for Grand Theft Auto Fans
December 2023 is shaping up to be an absolutely massive month for fans of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Originally posted to TikTok, a short video claiming to show Grand Theft Auto 6's map reveals a city skyline within the game, before panning around to show a freeway. Some investigation from Grand Theft Auto fans revealed that certain buildings within the video match up with buildings shown in other leaks that have been confirmed to be real. However, the drama didn't stop there. The individual behind the leaks claimed that they know a Rockstar developer's son, which is how they came upon the footage.
After being questioned further by Twitter user GTA 6 News, the leaker additionally revealed that the game will contain three major cities and four "sub cities," with a large lake in the middle of the map. They explain that Grand Theft Auto 6's map will be about twice the size of Grand Theft Auto 5's Los Santos. This seems to line up with older leaks regarding Grand Theft Auto 6's map.
It's still unclear if this footage truly stemmed from a Rockstar developer's son, but the video shows Grand Theft Auto 6 running on a PC in some sort of dev mode, so this claim may be true. With Grand Theft Auto 6's official reveal only days away, fans are eager for a long-awaited look into its development. Based on Rockstar's previous reveals, fans can expect the first trailer to showcase the game's main environments, which are likely its large cities, while also hinting at what the story will be about.
Seeing that Rockstar's announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer broke Twitter records, the game's reveal on December 5 will likely make huge waves on the internet. This game will be the first addition to the Grand Theft Auto franchise since 2013, and following the massive success of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, fans are excited for the studio's next flagship release.
