With Grand Theft Auto 6 finally being confirmed to be in development by Rockstar Games, gamers from all over have been eagerly expecting more substantial information regarding the next entry in the franchise. Alas, for these fans, any crumb of news about the game has mostly been confined to rumors and hearsay, as Rockstar is infamously tight-lipped about divulging any details. However, while many fans at the very least expect a GTA 6 trailer by the end of the year, one popular video game leaker deflates this assumption and suggests that fans keep their expectations low.For the uninitiated, the Grand Theft Auto 6 active development announcement revealed to fans that the game was "far along" in its development cycle and that Rockstar is looking "forward to sharing more" information as soon as it is ready to do so. Therefore, with the official announcement having such looming connotations, it's safe to say the overall reveal gave many gamers hope they may see more news on the highly anticipated title sometime in the near future.RELATED: GTA 6 Map Hints Revealed by Take-Two Interactive PatentAlthough contrary to the impending expectancy of said games, insider AccountNGT (an account that provides frequent insight into Rockstar, as well as other industry leaks) suggests Rockstar has other plans regarding any imminent concrete updates or reports for Grand Theft Auto 6. Responding to a Twitter user who requested if they had "any news about the next GTA," the leaker, unfortunately, corroborates that it is the best if gamers "don't expect any news before the end of the year."

While AccountNGT's response regarding official reveals should be taken with a grain of salt, as all leaks and rumors should, it certainly would not be a surprise for many if Rockstar held back on information until the end of the year. After all, it has been close to a decade since the previous game's release, but Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to top sales charts consistently. On top of this, the developers have regularly overhauled the game with free DLC expansions, which have resulted in the game peaking all-time high player counts on select gaming platforms, thus proving that Grand Theft Auto 5 still has a lot more life left in it.

In summary, as one of the biggest video game franchises of all time, it's only natural that fans will be willing to grab onto any leaks that they can. But considering that Grand Theft Auto 5 is still going strong, and heeding what AccountNGT has said on the matter, it may be most reasonable to curb any expectations of any forthcoming news. Nevertheless, it should be noted that as AccountNGT is not officially related to Grand Theft Auto 6, it is advised to wait to hear what Take-Two Interactive or Rockstar say before people hold their breath or believe in the rumors.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in development.
