In Lucia GTA 6 leak, Cyberleek hints at release date delay with game not ready

After winning a vote, Cyberleek’s latest GTA 6 leak features Lucia in a portion of the game’s prologue. While fans feared spoilers, it only briefly delves into the character’s backstory. The larger development may be the claim that the video is from a recent build. Rockstar’s tormentor also suggests that the title will not be ready in time for its November release date.

Some spoilers below

The video begins with an anxious Lucia sitting at a restaurant table. Apparently low on cash, she orders water before a waiter asks her to leave. The scene then switches to a prison, where Jason’s partner walks its confines with inmate chatter in the background. The clip ends with Lucia about to speak to a freshly assigned counselor.

Leading up to the new GTA 6 leak, there was speculation about how old the build Cyberleek accessed was. Following the debut of the first basketball gameplay video, insider NateTheHate said the footage was at least a year old. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier later explained that the videos were from a more recent build.

During the Lucia prologue, Cyberleek adds a message that may spark fears of a GTA 6 release date delay. The leaker says, “This build is actually recent and the game is not ready at all.”

Most fans have praised the visual quality and detail showcased in earlier clips. Even so, viewers have identified bugs, like a glitchy NPC in Jason’s gas station encounter. Pop-in has also cropped up, particularly with objects like backpacks in the Vice City Beach footage.

Is a delay still possible?

Cyberleek, who has protested Rockstar ditching discs, may be trying to cast doubt on the game’s success. Schreier recently revealed that the title is “pretty close to being finished,” and that developers are in their final push. In Rockstar’s first response to the GTA 6 leaks on August 26th, the studio confirmed that the game was “nearly there!”

Despite the barrage of leaks, the August 27th GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look will still air on schedule. Previews from media outlets should appear following the broadcast.
