GTA 6 Devs React to Tailer Leak; To Say They're Sad Would be an Understatement
The premature reveal of GTA VI's trailer surprised not only gamers, but also developers from Rockstar Games. They make no secret of their sadness and, at times, their anger.
Today at midnight PST, the long-awaited trailer for GTA VI was to be released. Bad luck that the video was leaked to the web much earlier yesterday, thus nullifying the ceremonial publication planned by Rockstar Games.
Despite the fact that the developers sped up the debut of the trailer, which still records amazing results on YouTube (at the time of writing this news, the video has already been played more than 52 million times), the distaste remains. Employees of Rockstar Games do not hide their bitterness at the thought that someone decided to spoil their great celebration..
The mood among developers was best summed up by Rockstar's chief visual effects artist Lloyd Knott, who wrote on X/Twitter:
In a similar tone spoke Rockstar Games' senior gameplay animator, Javier Altman. The developer added in a now-deleted post:
"I was hoping to watch it for the first time tomorrow with my teammates and collaborators. I feel we have earned this moment."
He was echoed by senior game designer Phil Beveridge, who wrote:
In turn, graphics programmer Angel Ortiz revealed, that he will hold off watching the video until he returns to his office so that he can watch it with his team members.
In addition to the angry posts, it's not hard to find comments filled with pride from Rockstar Games employees. Infinity Ward member Cameron Williams, who worked on the game for several years, also does not hide his excitement about the trailer of GTA VI.
As of a few hours ago, we can now make it official: Grand Theft Auto VI will debut in 2025. The game will hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles..
