Leaks Prompt First Direct Comment
After remaining quiet while Take-Two handled legal matters, Rockstar posted its own message on social channels midday Wednesday. The company noted that the leaks had been difficult for the team and were not the intended way for players to first experience the game.
Key Points in the Statement

“We are very excited for everyone to see the extended look tomorrow. It has taken longer than we wanted to get it ready, but as with everything we do, we know we need to exceed your expectations.”
The statement also thanked fans for messages of support and stressed that the team is making the game for the community. Rockstar confirmed the title remains on track for November 19 despite the leaks.
Focus on the Extended Look
Rockstar said the upcoming footage aims to meet the high expectations already set by players. The developer acknowledged that some spoilers may now exist but urged fans to experience the full game themselves at launch.
