Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaks Online Through 90+ Video Clips
Perhaps the biggest story of this week was the leak of the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, tentatively titled, GTA 6. The individual who also breached Uber’s services earlier this year posted over ninety video clips from the pre-alpha build of the game, giving eager fans the first look at the game’s two new protagonists.
The leak confirms ongoing rumors of GTA 6 featuring two protagonists in a bonnie and Clyde setup, set in a modern-day vice city. The leaks also show that the next entry will borrow heavily from the studios last game, Red Dead Redemption II, bringing in interaction with enemies as well as the ability to rob stores while taking hostages.
New mechanics being added include the ability to go prone, hang out of windows while driving to shoot targets, carry bodies, and a new pick-up animation for weapons, the leaks also suggest that, like Red Dead Redemption II, you will only be able to carry a few weapons at a time instead of the infinite amount in GTA 5.
Rockstar was quick to take notice of these leaks and issued a statement right after. Many websites and forums were asked to take down material related to Grand Theft Auto 6. Rockstar reiterated that as of now no delays are expected for the game and it should launch in the same time frame as before; FY 2023-2024.
New Iron Man Game Announced From EA Motive
The long-rumored Iron Man game was officially announced this week. EA Motive, the studio behind the upcoming dead space remake is set to helm this project in what is being touted as a fresh take on the character in a new AAA single-player experience.
The game will tap into the rich history of the character, “channeling the complexity, charisma and creative genius of Tony Stark and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play as Iron Man”. The game will be a collaboration between EA motive and Marvel games and has recruited Olivier Prolux, who worked on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The game is still early in development with no release date.

40 Minutes of Diablo IV Footage Leaks Online
Rounding off this week’s news is another leak, this time for Diablo IV. The new leaked footage showed off the new barbarian class in action. The leaked footage is clearly from an unfinished build of the game as many objects remain untextured and many assets are still incomplete.
It is worth noting however that the footage shows the openness of the world, building off of the semi-open structure of the previous entry. The world of Diablo IV will dynamically fill out as the player explores the world. the game looks very reminiscent of Skyrim.
That’s all for this week. Tune in next week to read more about the latest happenings in the gaming world!
