Story Highlight
  • Reports suggest the upcoming GTA 6 may include realistic and graphic dismemberment/gore features.
  • This direction aligns with Rockstar’s other title, Red Dead Redemption 2, which features a detailed, reactive injury system.
  • Other features detailed in the same report include playable basketball, dual-wielding weapons, and more.

The upcoming GTA 6 has been shrouded in secrecy, but rumors and alleged leaks were present before it was officially announced. One particularly interesting rumor is the possible inclusion of real-time gore and dismemberment effects.

While there’s no official confirmation from Rockstar Games, this potential addition has excited some fans who don’t mind violence in video games. It also comes from a source that proved to be reliable before the first trailer debuted.

Why it matters: This could mean that Rockstar Games is taking a more visceral, violence-focused approach, potentially paving the way for a different GTA experience.

A now-deleted Reddit account named ‘Well_Look_Whos_Back’ ignited speculation by accurately predicting elements of the GTA 6 reveal trailer weeks before its release. The name itself seems to be a reference to a quote from the first gameplay footage.

The account’s behavior suggests a possible connection to someone within Rockstar Games. This insider viewpoint adds a new dimension to the inclusion of gore, which the user mentioned weeks before the trailer dropped.

The insider revealed features like dismemberment and dual wielding alongside more mundane details like dynamic weather effects. If accurate, this will mark the first time dismemberment and gore effects will be present in a Grand Theft Auto game.

This coincides with the speculations that GTA 6 might borrow from the brutal realism of Red Dead Redemption 2, another Rockstar title known for its unflinching portrayal of violence.

GTA 6 Could Be Going For Darker Themes Than Previous Entries

Red Dead Redemption 2 featured a detailed injury system where characters reacted differently depending on where they were shot. The prospect of realistic dismemberment effects in GTA 6 sounds promising.

It would enhance the game’s realism and overall immersion. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been known for its dark and gritty themes, with GTA 4 particularly shining for its gloomy atmosphere.

While it’s important to treat leaks with skepticism, the Reddit account’s knowledge of insider details merits consideration. The individual appears to have seen the trailer before most Rockstar employees.

Regardless, GTA 6 is shaping up to be the biggest launch in gaming history. But can it deliver after a decade of hype? The game reportedly remains on track for a 2025 release, so we will find out soon.
