Rockstar is affected by another holiday leak, revealing that GTA Online has been cancelled.

It's no secret that GTA Online has been around for quite some time now, even longer than initially expected. Recent leaks have given us a glimpse into the early stages of the game's development, as well as details about past Halo games.

As one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world, it's not surprising that Rockstar Games has been the target of numerous leaks. In 2022, a British teenager named Arion Kurtaj hacked into the developer's system, causing a major security breach. This leak included footage and screenshots from the highly anticipated GTA 6.

Unfortunately, it seems that these leaks have become somewhat of a tradition for Rockstar, as another one occurred around Christmas last year. This time, the leak included the source code for GTA 5. And now, on Christmas of this year, more material from past games in the series has surfaced online.

So what exactly is in this latest GTA leak? Well, according to a user on GTAForums named FrankieLiberty, there are old assets from Rockstar that have been released, including design documents for an early version of GTA Online from 2001, as well as GTA San Andreas, GTA Advance, and GTA: Vice City Stories.

According to another user, GTAVI_Countdown, these documents reveal that an early version of GTA Online was actually in development back in 2001 by Barking Dog Studios. This version had many features that are present in the current version of GTA Online, such as character customization, the ability to own properties, and a skill system for certain attributes. However, it was ultimately cancelled due to technical limitations.

In an interesting turn of events, this leak is actually a form of protest by FrankieLiberty against an individual known as John Doe. John Doe has allegedly been selling stolen assets from Rockstar for a profit, and it seems that some former developers have been involved in these sales. FrankieLiberty hopes that by releasing these assets, John Doe's profits will be devalued and he won't be able to sell them anymore.

But the GTA leak wasn't the only one to happen over Christmas. Dataminer Visceral reported that early builds and unreleased content from Bungie-developed Halo games have also been leaked. This material, dating back to 1998, came from a project called Halo Digsite, which aimed to restore cut content from past Halo games.

While it's unclear who exactly leaked the Digsite files, a former member of the project confirmed that the leak is indeed real and that they had no part in it. This leak could potentially damage the chances of future collaborations between modders and developers, and it's uncertain what this means for the future of Halo Digsite.

Despite all of this, Rockstar is still hard at work on multiple projects, including a potential remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. And let's not forget about the highly anticipated GTA 6, which is rumored to have a sequel for GTA Online as well.

It's clear that these leaks have caused a stir in the gaming community, but for now, all we can do is wait for more official updates and announcements from Rockstar and 343 Industries. Until then, let's hope that these leaks don't cause any significant damage to the future of these beloved franchises.
