L.A. Noire 2: old 2023 GTA 6 leak fuels rumors
An old 4chan GTA 6 leak is sparking fresh L.A. Noire 2 rumors, but there’s no confirmation Rockstar is working on a sequel.
- The discussion stems from an old 2023 4chan GTA 6 leak that also mentioned a sequel to L.A. Noire.
- That leak claimed a 2030 release, a San Francisco setting, and a story involving the Zodiac Killer.
What happened
The recent attention around L.A. Noire 2 comes from an old 2023 4chan leak about GTA 6. According to the source, that leak included not only details about Rockstar’s next Grand Theft Auto, but also the claim that the company would later work on a sequel to L.A. Noire.
The rumors gained extra traction because part of that old GTA 6 leak later turned out to be partly accurate. For example, the source says Rockstar originally considered four main characters for GTA 6 before the team settled on two protagonists. That detail was also reportedly mentioned earlier in an Axios report.
The same leak claimed that L.A. Noire 2 would launch in 2030, be set in San Francisco, and center on the Zodiac Killer. However, the source presents those points as part of an unconfirmed rumor, not as confirmed information from Rockstar.
