Take-Two CEO Addresses GTA 6 Leaks
In an interview with IGN, Strauss Zelnick stated that the leaks were disappointing to the team, but as a business matter, the company wasn’t affected. This is a positive sign for players eagerly awaiting the release of GTA 6.
GTA 6 Development Schedule Unaffected
Based on Zelnick’s statement, it’s possible that the development of GTA 6 is going smoothly and could be ready for release sooner than expected. The leaked footage from September 2022 appeared to be from an earlier build, which indicates that development is further along than anticipated.
Early Footage From GTA 6
The leaked footage from GTA 6 was far from being fleshed out, which is to be expected, as the game is still in production. However, the fact that the leaks haven’t impacted the game’s development schedule is a good sign for fans.
Possible GTA 6 Release Date
The release date for GTA 6 is still unknown, and Rockstar has not yet revealed any information about the eagerly anticipated game. Some speculate that Rockstar may reveal more later this year, with a possible 2024 release date.
Buy More Time for Development
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick’s statement about the leaks being disappointing but not affecting the business side of GTA 6 could potentially buy Rockstar more time if necessary. If Rockstar’s internal schedule for GTA 6 needs to shift, Zelnick can say that it was due to the team being upset and impacted by the leaks.
Investors and Development Schedule
As a publicly traded company, Rockstar is likely trying to keep its investors happy. If this means that they need more time for development, it may result in a longer wait for players, but considering it’s been over a decade since the previous entry, a little more time won’t hurt.
Conclusion
In conclusion, despite the massive leaks about GTA 6, the development of the game is still on track and not impacted. Players can rest easy knowing that the game’s schedule has not changed and that Rockstar is likely to reveal more information about the eagerly anticipated game soon.
