Footage reveals new look at Vice City
A former Rockstar Games employee leaks early footage of Grand Theft Auto 6, giving players a first look at what may be the most ambitious instalment in the series. The game is scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, following years of anticipation.
The leaked material shows a detailed and lively Vice City with new activities, enhanced environments and broader exploration. Early clips hint at features such as bicycle rentals returning from GTA 5, along with activities including hunting and scuba diving.
Updated combat and character abilities
According to the footage, combat mechanics appear more refined, drawing from elements seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5 and Max Payne 3.
The map featured in the leaks is largely set across an island region that includes more than 700 shops, pointing to a wider interactive world. Players also see the two new protagonists, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, each with abilities comparable to the Dead Eye system in Red Dead Redemption 2, adding a strategic dimension to gameplay.
Authenticity questions swirl
Although the leaks attract major attention, some clips circulating online are suspected to be artificially generated. Despite this, several community insiders and multiple independent sources confirm many of the gameplay details, suggesting the footage reflects genuine elements of the upcoming title.
New features and features left out
Players look forward to expanded multiplayer interactions, including riding in the beds of pickup trucks. Developers are also believed to be improving technical performance and creative depth, building on the mini-games and systems introduced in earlier titles.
However, some expected features, including dual-wield firearms and crawling or prone movements, are reportedly not part of the final build, according to recent insider claims.
Release date and main storyline
GTA 6 is officially slated for November 19, 2026. The game features dual leads, Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, whose storylines and special abilities are expected to shape much of the narrative experience.
Fans now await official confirmation of the leaked elements as excitement builds toward the launch of one of gaming’s most anticipated releases.
