Rockstar owner Take-Two has said that the GTA 6 hack won’t affect anything about the game, including its release date.
It might have been the biggest hack in video game history but the Grand Theft Auto 6 leak from September didn’t really reveal all that much new information. It confirmed a few previous rumours, especially regarding it being set in Vice City, and fans were able to guesstimate the size of the map, but that was about it.
Considering the hacker responsible is looking at some serious jail time, especially as he tried to blackmail Rockstar Games owner Take-Two – to get him to stop releasing more info, it doesn’t really seem like it was all worth it.
Take-Two has already said that the game won’t be delayed as a result of the hack and now, speaking to investors, they’ve said that no assets were taking – meaning that the hacker only got away with videos and not any of the code or 3D models from the game.
According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, ‘There’s no evidence that any material assets were taken.’ He added that: ‘The leak won’t have any influence on development or anything of the sort.’
