The company plans to then publish a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI next month to celebrate Rockstar’s 25th anniversary, said the people, who asked to not be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. A spokesperson for Rockstar didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent after business hours.

      It’s the equivalent to announce a date when they announce the date of the teaser trailer of a game. I mean wtf is wrong with these people.

      Everybody knows it’s coming, they had countless articles, “leaked” pre-alpha gameplay footage, so not sure who is surprised at this point.

      It’s Bloomberg, I feel like half the video game related news that I see from them is just “crazy leak: this game/hardware is gonna be like this! Source: trust me, bro”

        I haven’t really seen any video game news from them before this one but I 💯 believe you based on their track record in general. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually seen them having a good take or angle on ANYTHING!

          Before I left Reddit I felt like I saw a “LEAKED SWITCH 2 HARDWARE DETAILS” from them like every couple months for the last two or more years

      A leak saying they’re planning to release a trailer next month is definitely news.

        Speaking of, did you notice how Bethesda secretly released Fallout 5 yesterday? Pretty bold move, if you ask me!
