The actor rumored to play the character Jason, who was leaked in Grand Theft Auto 6, has been teasing fans on social media. Last year's massive leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 revealed numerous details about Rockstar's upcoming open-world game, including the appearance of the protagonists.
Although the leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 footage was in its early development stages, it showcased two playable characters who will feature in the final version of the game. Notably, one of the protagonists is the first major female character in a main series GTA game. The second character, Jason, was also spotted in the leaked material.
Fans of Grand Theft Auto 6 were quick to piece together leaked footage and deduce who would be playing the game's protagonists. According to rumors, actor Bryan Zampella is set to take on the role of Jason, a claim that seems to be backed up by his Instagram account. Zampella has been known to tease fans with images that reference the game, such as donning a Tommy Vercetti-style Hawaiian shirt and posing in an outfit similar to that seen in the leaked footage.
Some fans are speculating that these posts could be hinting at an imminent Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal. Sony's PlayStation Showcase event is due to take place on May 24th, leading some to believe that the game's release will be announced during the show. While previous Grand Theft Auto reveals have been linked to PlayStation events, fans are advised not to get their hopes up too high.
Famously, the Rockstar Games logo appeared during one of the first PS5 showcase events, only for the big reveal to disappoint fans with yet another Grand Theft Auto 5 port. While some may hope for a redemption of sorts for PlayStation fans, it is more likely that Grand Theft Auto 6 will have its own standalone reveal without the need for additional showcases.
Although the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date is still a few years away in 2024 or 2025, eager fans should keep a close watch on Zampella's social media channels for any potential hints about the game.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development.
