A tweet from
Rockstar
Games has the full official response to
yesterday's leak of a trove of
Grand Theft Auto VI footage. Word is development of the open-world crime
sequel will continue as before:
We recently suffered a network intrusion
in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded
confidential information from our systems, including early development footage
for the next Grand Theft Auto. At this time we do not anticipate any disruption
to our live game services nor any long-term effect on the development of our
ongoing project.
We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with
you all in this way. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as
planned and we remain as committed as ever to delivering an experience to you,
our players, that truly exceeds your expectations. We will update everyone again
soon and, of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it's
ready. We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support through this
situation.
