A demo reel showcasing a online game character animator’s work seemingly contains animations from Grand Theft Auto 6.
As noticed by Reddit consumer throwaway-sadkid8012, the video, which seems to be from animator Benjamin Chue, was posted on Vimeo and reveals a few of Chue’s work, primarily from Rockstar video games.
The 2-minute montage contains work-in-progress clips from Pink Useless Redemption 2, Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5, however the first two clips have been described as being from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
The video has since been taken offline, however not earlier than customers have been in a position to obtain it and re-upload it, sharing it on-line.
The primary clip reveals a male character eradicating a rental bike from a stand, turning it round and getting on it, adopted by a second animation of them returning the bike to the stand and getting off.
This seems to counsel the participant will have the ability to hire bikes within the sport, with some Reddit customers noting that rental bike stands may be noticed at one level within the sport’s newest trailer.
The bike in Chue’s clip says ‘LomBike’ on the body, suggesting not solely a play on the actual life LimeBike rental bicycles, but in addition that the in-game bikes are funded by banking firm Lombank, beforehand seen in GTA 4 and 5 (very similar to the Santander-sponsored rental bikes in London).
The second clip reveals two animations of a feminine character – probably protagonist Lucia – getting off a pickup truck. Within the first animation she’s seen sitting behind the truck and swinging spherical to leap off it, whereas within the second she’s standing on the roof earlier than leaping onto the again, then onto the highway.
Assuming these animations are retained within the sport, this doesn’t essentially imply they are going to be seen in precise gameplay. A number of the different clips in Chue’s demo reel present animations from cutscenes, that means the animation for leaping off the truck – which some gamers could discover too lengthy in the event that they’re in a shootout – could solely find yourself being seen in a single scene.
Grand Theft Auto 6 was beforehand presupposed to launch in Fall 2025, till Rockstar introduced that the sport had been moved again to Might 26, 2026. Rockstar then acknowledged final month that the sport has been delayed once more, this time till November 19, 2026.
“We’re sorry for including further time to what we notice has been a protracted wait, however these further months will permit us to complete the sport with the extent of polish you might have come to count on and deserve,” Rockstar mentioned in an announcement.
