Overview
- The claim resurfaced on Monday after a 2023 4chan leak was reposted to GTA Forums and picked up by outlets noting its details and timing.
- The leak says the sequel would move the detective story to San Francisco and center on the unidentified Zodiac Killer.
- It also alleges Rockstar executives want to push advanced face‑scanning and photoreal capture to make the game visually striking and names a possible 2030 release window.
- The origin of the information is an anonymous 4chan leaker relayed by a GTA Forums user; outlets note the leaker previously had some accurate GTA 6 hints but the new claims remain unverified.
- Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has publicly said the company could revisit legacy titles, which gives the rumor corporate plausibility but not confirmation, so the key next step is an official announcement from Rockstar.
