News Patch v6.30

GTA 6  is the future. Literally [Link]

A leaker with a solid track record, Tom Henderson, released a new video claiming GTA 6 will be a modern version of Vice City, versus a previously guessed 80s era

This allows room for the Rockstar wanting as much freedom as possible for staff when creating online content

Map will change overtime similar to Fortnite

Multiple playable characters like GTA V

Dates this early aren’t really worth mentioning, BUT the source states that the current gap between titles won’t be over until at least 2025

If 2025 is even somewhat accurate, this supports the notion that Rockstar has placed a greater emphasis on employee wellbeing following reports detailing the burnout work conditions that were being pushed prior to RDR2 release

Rumor Mill?

This is the juiciest leak I’ve heard of to date. Usually it’s just been ‘Is GTA6 even real?’

Discord AR?! [Link]


Ubiquity6 was acquired by Discord for “tens of millions”

Founded in 2017 UB6 wanted to become the central way for mobile phone users to browse AR content

Had difficulty gaining momentum for as AR market, despite “hefty” investments from companies like Google and Apple

Discontinued/moved some of their apps to the back-burner to create the app ‘Backyard’ in recent months as a way for people to connect during the pandemic

No design or feature details of the acquisition have been disclosed

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Ashes of Creation Update [Link]

ICYMI Intrepid Studios held a June creators update on 6/25 via Twitch stream

The team provided updates on their studio move and the addition of paypal as an option to pay/sub to the game

Still no solid UI for Alpha 1

Castle sieges have been mentioned lately. All we know is there will be ‘stages’ to the sieges. Attacker buffs and defender “mechanisms” to ensure balance. Nothing specific yet.

Alpha 1 pushed back from June to July 14th
