The Leonida Archive
Everything Rockstar Games has actually said and shown about Grand Theft Auto VI, in order, with the date it happened and the label it deserves. This page is built to be cited: every entry has a stable anchor, and every statement is written to be quoted as-is.
Maintained by the Vice City Verified desk. When a fact changes labels — a report gets confirmed, a rumor dies — the entry is updated with the new date, never silently rewritten.
Newest first. Anchors are permanent — link to any entry and it will still be here.
