The Game Awards has become a major event over these past couple of years not only for recognizing excellence in the games industry, but as a way for studios to make surprise announcements. Without E3 this year and other traditional big exhibitions having to go virtual, there’s likely an even greater importance on the Game Awards delivering an exciting show. Even with Geoff Keighley and his team doing a great job at minimizing the potential for leaks, it seems one announcement may have escaped a bit earlier than many were hoping.
If the leak is indeed true, Rockstar intends to release the remaster on December 10, which is now the same date as CD Projekt RED’s behemoth, Cyberpunk 2077. The date also coincides with the annual Game Awards show which many have started to would have been used to stealth launch the game following its announcement at the show.
