This weekend, intriguing glimpses of Grand Theft Auto 6 emerged online, capturing the attention of fans before being swiftly removed. Unlike previous significant leaks, this one offers a sneak peek into the development process without revealing too much.
Enthusiasts discovered an animation reel on Vimeo, uploaded by a developer with a history of working on Rockstar projects. The reel contained three snippets labeled as GTA 6, showcasing some behind-the-scenes development footage.
Inside the Leak
The footage, though quickly taken down, spread across the internet. It comprises three short clips demonstrating animations on a test map. The first clip features a male character interacting with a rental bicycle rack, with the branding ‘LomBike’ visible, likely a parody of real-world LimeBike rentals. Rockstar had already teased this bike rental system in an official GTA 6 screenshot earlier this year.
The other two clips briefly depict a female character, presumably named Lucia, exiting the back of a pickup truck at different stages. While these clips are interesting, they don’t reveal new gameplay mechanics or features.
What the Clips Suggest
These short animation clips offer minor hints about what players might experience when GTA 6 eventually launches. However, they don’t provide any groundbreaking information beyond what’s already known. It’s expected that players will encounter gameplay elements like bike rentals and jumping off trucks, typical of the GTA series. When the game is finally released, these animations will undoubtedly be polished to Rockstar’s high standards.
This genuine leak follows closely behind a viral AI-generated GTA 6 gameplay leak, which its creator claimed was a social experiment. As fans eagerly await Rockstar’s GTA 6 Trailer 3, anticipation builds, fueled by reactions to the game’s delay and speculation over its eventual release.
