The developer expressed regret over the extended development cycle and requested that those who have pre-ordered the title remain patient as the November 19 release date approaches.
The company also addressed the impact of the unauthorized disclosures, describing the unauthorized distribution of gameplay footage as a deeply disappointing experience for its development staff. Rockstar Games emphasized that these leaks do not represent the intended way for the public to experience the game, stating that the situation has been difficult for the team to navigate after years of development.
Addressing Viral Claims and Speculation
Alongside the discussion regarding the game's release status, unverified reports have circulated on social media claiming that the individual associated with the CyberLeek platform has been identified and arrested in Nuremberg, Germany. These claims have been accompanied by viral videos purportedly showing the individual at a courthouse.
However, there is no official confirmation or evidence to support the assertion that the person behind the leaks has been arrested or identified by authorities. The situation remains a subject of online speculation, while Rockstar Games continues to focus on its scheduled November launch. The company recently provided a more formal look at the game, including a 26-minute video presentation released on Netflix, which showcased the characters Lucia and Jason within the game's environment.
