With fans distraught over GTA 6 delay, reliable leaker teases a Rockstar Games announcement

Ahead of the Take-Two Interactive quarterly earnings call, gamers had hoped for the third GTA 6 trailer. The update was far from positive, with Rockstar Games confirming another release date delay to Fall 2026. However, prominent leaker billbil-kun revealed that Rockstar will make another announcement on November 7th.

​While the media appreciates any tidbits from the studio, billbil-kun has lowered expectations. His initial social media post hints that Rockstar will be recycling a past project or introducing a remake. The leaker doesn’t think the news is hype-worthy and is “something probably much people won't care about”. One clue is that any featured game won’t be a remaster.

Despite the warnings, gamers are predicting remasters that would draw headlines. One common request is a revamped version of GTA 4 for current-gen systems. The 2008 game is not available at all on the PS4 and PS5, although backward compatibility on Xbox consoles is an option. Other fans want GTA 5 to come to the Switch 2, but there have been no rumblings about a port.

If not a Rockstar remaster, then what?

​Eliminating remasters rules out many expected Rockstar Games releases. Another trusted source, NateTheHate2, has repeatedly discussed an updated Red Dead Redemption 2. Still, besides being too high-profile, the game likely wouldn’t be considered a remake.

​The Max Payne 1+2 Remake is one of only a few games besides GTA 6 that the studio acknowledges. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, a recent positive report suggested that it could arrive by the end of 2026. Even so, the series is worthy of more than a minor announcement.  

​Billbil-kun often previews physical items headed to retailers. Gamers may see a new console bundle with an old title, or a repackaged version of a less popular game. In any case, the news is not likely to satisfy fans disappointed about the GTA 6 release date delay.
