Massive 192GB GTA leak reveals early GTA VI map and canceled DLCs — files show liquid nitrogen death for Trevor and scrapped Liberty City expansion

Massive 192GB GTA leak reveals early GTA VI map and canceled DLCs — files show liquid nitrogen death for Trevor and scrapped Liberty City expansion

A massive 192 GB data leak has revealed early development of GTA VI, canceled DLCs, and alternate endings for GTA V. The leak, which has been circulating since 2022, includes raw materials for the upcoming game's map and playable concepts. Screenshots obtained by user TJGM show early sketches of the GTA VI map, built on satellite images and Google Maps Street View. These early maps suggest Rockstar was working on a successor to GTA V as early as 2014-2015.

The leak also reveals an outline for Liberty City, hinting at an unreleased DLC for GTA V taking place in the city. This map is three times larger than the original GTA IV, but lacks additional details. Another discovery is an 'Agent Trevor' expansion, featuring a massive bunker under the Grand Senora Desert, a spaceship, and an Arab mansion. These assets, while reused from other in-game elements, are significantly larger than previously seen.

Voice-overs for cutscenes not included in the final game were also found, including one involving GTA IV's Brucie Kibbutz and GTA V's Franklin in an unfinished mission. Additionally, there's an alternate ending for Trevor when Option A is chosen in GTA V's finale. According to this leaked material, Trevor would crash into a tank of liquid nitrogen, freeze, and shatter into pieces, diverging from the actual game's outcome.

  • Modular architecture simplifies Next.js application maintenance and debugging
  • Multi-zones and microfrontends increase complexity, not solve code scattering
  • next-modular package enables modular architecture in Next.js
