The trailer of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 introduces us to an intriguing character, Lucia. As the first female protagonist in the series.
Lucia, along with her partner, embarks on a thrilling crime spree that takes them through the heart of Vice City. Their journey begins on the sun-kissed beaches, crowded with tourists and locals alike, oblivious to the storm that’s about to hit.
Their escapade then takes them to the bustling city highways, where they dodge traffic and outsmart the law enforcement agencies hot on their trail. The roar of their getaway vehicle echoes through the city, adding to the symphony of Vice City’s daily life. Their exploits bear a striking resemblance to the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.
Take-Two Interactive’s subsidiary, Rockstar Games, has a challenging journey with information leaks. In the year 2022, the gaming world was taken by surprise when unreleased footage from the upcoming iteration of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) surfaced online.
Rockstar Games was quick to respond to the situation, confirming the authenticity of the leaked content. The company acknowledged that the screenshots and gameplay videos were indeed real and were part of the upcoming GTA game. They revealed that these assets had been leaked due to a “network intrusion”, indicating a serious breach of their security systems.
“We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto,” Rockstar Games announced at the time in a statement posted to what was then Twitter.
