Always wonder how leaks like that fucking happen. Like does someone accidentally hit an 'upload' button instead of click 'send'

Apparently it happened through social engineering on the app/program Slack, used for Work From Home stuff for developers.

Jason Schreier on Twitter:

Not that there was much doubt, but I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The footage is early and unfinished, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games

CDPR with some updates on current and future games:

The Witcher-series:

I assume this is a mobile focused title (3rd party dev), and won't have much to do with the mainline series.


Highly likely the next mainline game in the Witcher-series.


I don't think this'll be a mobile title since it says "Story-driven, single player open-world RPG in the Witcher universe". From the wording it seems like it's more ambitious than what Project Sirius is.


Cyberpunk 2077 SEQUEL!

And lastly, a brand new IP currently dubbed, Project Hadar.

Video is set to private (for me at least), what is it?

Oh damn, noticed... there was 40minutes of gameplay from The Invincible

Interesting. I've actually never heard of it before. Reminds me a bit of SOMA. Looks really nice visually.
