The second character spotted in the bigGTA 6leaks was someone named Jason.RELATED:Grand Theft Auto 5 Trevor Actor Comments on GTA 6Not only were theGTA 6protagonists leaked by the footage, but fans were quick to figure out which actors would be portraying them. According to the rumors,Jason is being portrayed by Bryan Zampella, and the actor has seemingly acknowledged this through Instagram posts. Zampella’s Instagram is full of images that are seemingly designed to trollGTAfans, including one where he is wearing a Hawaiian shirt near some palm trees ala Tommy Vercetti fromGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, and another where he is dressed in what is nearly the exact same outfit Jason was wearing in the leakedGTA 6footage.
The timing of these troll posts has given some fans hope that abigGrand Theft Auto 6revealwill be happening sooner rather than later. Sony is hosting its PlayStation Showcase event on Wednesday, May 24, so some think that the reveal will happen at the show.Grand Theft Autoreveals have been tied to PlayStation events in the past, so there is some precedent, but fans shouldn’t hold their breath.
Famously, the Rockstar Games logo appeared during one of the first PS5 showcase events, only for the big reveal to beyet anotherGrand Theft Auto 5port. Considering this, perhaps Rockstar will be looking to make things up to PlayStation fans who felt tricked by the previous reveal, but the more likely scenario is thatGrand Theft Auto 6will have its own reveal independent of any kind of showcases.
TheGrand Theft Auto 6release dateis expected to be some time in 2024 or 2025, so it seems a little early yet for the reveal to be happening. Even so,GTAfans may want to keep an eye on Zampella’s social media channels in case he drops anymore potential hints about the game.
Grand Theft Auto 6is in development.
