Take-Two started filing takedown requests of 'GTA VI' leaked footage

Earlier this week, footage of Grand Theft Auto VI started to show up online. A user on the GTA Forums posted a 3GB file full of 90 videos of GTA VI footage. It's not clear how the footage was obtained, but the "teapotuberhacker" poster says they are behind the unrelated Uber hack. If that's true, then they're connected to Lapsus$. Either way, they claim that they may "leak more data soon," including GTA V and GTA VI source code, assets, and testing builds.

Rockstar Games owner Take-Two has started filing takedown requests for leaked footage hosted on YouTube. Many remain online, though. Some of the videos show a new female playable character, which has been talked about earlier in the year. GTA VI is expected to get a female protagonist influenced by Bonnie and Clyde. The game is still at least two years away, and this leak shows footage that's from early, unfinished builds and testing of some parts of the game.

There will be over 50 unique weapons for ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’

There will be many ways you can kill things in the upcoming open-world western game Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games just tweeted that there will be over 50 different weapons to choose from. The first game, Red Dead Revolver, had 28 different weapons. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption had 36, but this came after the DLC. And as Comicbook.com speculates, if Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the route of adding weapons post-launch, we might get over 60 weapons when it comes out—and this might just be from the single player campaign. Red Dead Online might have more.

If you want to read what Red Dead Redemption 2 is about, here’s the official synopsis: "America, 1899. The end of the Wild West era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him." Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on October 26 via the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
