In February of last year, the creator formally declared that it was developing Grand Theft Auto 6. A simple sentence announcing that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway was all to cover the announcement. However, they haven’t spoken anything more in an official capacity since then.
On September 18, however, over ninety videos and pictures from an early, alpha build of the game that was still in production were leaked online in an unprecedented GTA 6 leak. The creator is attempting to remove the material that was leaked from the internet after admitting and verifying the hack.
Meet the New Protagonists
The GTA 6 leaks that surfaced on September 18, 2022, unveiled the two main characters, Jason and Lucia. These individuals are now officially confirmed as the faces of the highly anticipated game.
Jason stands out as the sole male protagonist in the forthcoming Grand Theft Auto instalment. Jason Schreier, a well-known American journalist and the creators were the one to reveal his identity to the world.
From the leaked material, we can glean that Jason is a Caucasian male, likely in his late twenties or early thirties. The videos offer a glimpse of him sporting a white tank top, Bermuda shorts, and a backward cap.
When it comes to skills, Jason is an expert in various criminal activities, including store heists, car thefts, and even gunfights. What sets him apart are some unique abilities, like the ability to crawl (a feature absent in GTA 5 characters) and a power akin to an eagle eye, reminiscent of what we saw in the creator’s Red Dead Redemption 2.
Lucia, on the other hand, marks a significant milestone as the first-ever female protagonist in the GTA series. She hails from a Hispanic, Latin American background and seems to share a similar age group with Jason. Nevertheless, she is a tad shorter than her male counterpart.
The leaked videos shed light on Lucia’s penchant for switching her outfits, adding a layer of versatility to her character. Among her notable attires, she was often spotted in a pair of sleek blue camo pants, coupled with a pink, long-sleeved top.
Adding to the excitement, the upcoming game will continue the tradition of character-switching on the go, a feature much like the one we enjoyed in GTA 5. The presence of a female protagonist is hopefully going to bring a breath of fresh air, promising more diverse narratives and gameplay experiences.
Everything on GTA 6 Weapons
Get ready, as GTA 6 is about to revolutionise the way we handle weapons. No more will you magically carry nine different weapons in your back pocket. A recent leak unveils the creator’s plans for a complete overhaul of the weapon system in GTA 6, taking cues from games like RDR2 and Alan Wake 2.
Similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll be lugging all your weapons on your person. This means your carrying capacity is going to be severely restricted. But fear not, you can stash additional weapons in your car’s trunk or carry a duffel bag.
This transition was predicted in an earlier leak, suggesting that the creator aims to make the upcoming game more realistic. GTA 5, the current instalment, allows you to tote every single weapon simultaneously, which some players find excessive. This made managing weapons, especially in the context of GTA Online with its plethora of weapons, including futuristic ones, a real chore. Previous games in the series limited you to carrying just one weapon of each type.
When GTA 6 hits the scene for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the GTA 6 Weapons Database will serve as your go-to resource, listing all the Guns, Rifles, Explosives, and every weapon available in the game.
Some leaks have already surfaced with a confirmed list of GTA 6 weapons. Moreover, GTA VI will introduce Gear & Equipment Items, each with a designated spot on the Weapon Wheel.
