GTA 6's development may be undergoing a new phase of narrative restructuring, especially in its final chapter. According to a recent rumor circulated by a leaker known as GameRoll, the campaign's ending is undergoing significant changes after an unexpected cut.

The information comes from a source close to one of Rockstar Games' developers, according to the leaker himself, who had already confirmed important details about the protagonists before the official trailers. The news reignites speculation about the project's behind-the-scenes details, especially after the announcement of the release date to May 26, 2026. The rumor, although not officially confirmed, suggests that the revamped final chapter may have directly influenced the studio's new schedule.
GTA 6's final chapter reportedly being remade due to cuts
According to information released by GameRoll on the X network (formerly Twitter), GTA 6 will be structured into five main chapters. However, the fifth chapter reportedly suffered significant cuts, requiring the team to completely rewrite this part of the story. The game's second trailer, already available to the public, shows scenes only from the first three chapters, while the final stages are reportedly still in internal development.
GameRoll claims its source isn't directly involved in the project but is friends with a member of the Rockstar production team. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the leaker reinforces that this same person was responsible for predicting the surnames of protagonists Jason and Lucia, revelations that were later confirmed in the official material.
Script changes may be behind the delay to 2026
The potential rework of the final part of the narrative may help explain GTA 6's recent delay. In May, Rockstar officially announced that the game will only arrive on May 26, 2026, delaying the initially planned release by more than a year. Although the studio didn't offer detailed explanations, rumors like this suggest that the content is still being adjusted to reach the expected quality standards.
Script changes this late in development aren't common, but they're also not unheard of in the industry. In titles with complex campaigns and narrative focus, changes to the ending can directly affect pacing, internal coherence, and the player experience. Thus, Rockstar may be reevaluating the impact of the story's conclusion to ensure a satisfying conclusion.
Trailer showed only part of the finished content
An interesting observation made by GameRoll is that the recently released second GTA 6 trailer only features footage from the first three chapters. This reinforces the idea that the final content is not yet ready or is being reworked. The lack of scenes from chapters four and five in the official video may have been a strategic decision to avoid showing elements currently being reworked.
Based on this, fans speculate that the final parts of the game are still subject to change. This could include adjustments to the script, gameplay, and even the setting, should the story require geographical transitions or structural changes between chapters.
