YouTuber Dark Space recently unveiled a mod for Grand Theft Auto V, featuring a speculated map of the upcoming GTA 6. This mod is the result of a fan-driven mapping initiative aimed at creating an approximation of what the fictional map of Leonida might embody. Available for free download on Dark Space’s official Discord server, the mod supports both the story mode of GTA V and the multiplayer platform, FiveM.
In a compelling video demonstration of the mod, which has since been removed due to a copyright claim from Take-Two Interactive (the parent company of Rockstar Games), Dark Space pondered whether the takedown was linked to the mod’s accuracy. This article delves into the implications of the mod’s removal and the ongoing GTA 6 mapping efforts.
Dark Space Comments on the Takedown of His GTA 6 Map Mod Video
For those curious about the intricacies of the mapping project, fans have been using leaked development footage and the first official trailer of GTA 6 to piece together an envisioned map layout. Dark Space has crafted a 3D version of this hypothesized map, complete with numerous buildings and roadways for players to explore within GTA V’s gameplay.
Following Take-Two Interactive’s copyright action, Dark Space’s video showcasing the mod was removed from YouTube. In his reflections on this incident, Dark Space suggested that the map’s close resemblance to GTA 6 could be perceived as a threat, potentially undermining the game’s expected novelty upon release.
While Dark Space’s hypothesis offers an interesting perspective, it is essential to recognize that this remains conjecture, and the precise reason behind the video’s removal has not been officially confirmed. In a further development, the creator of the GTA 6 map mod has removed all links to download the mod, citing proactive measures rather than direct requests from Take-Two.
It is pertinent to mention that Rockstar Games has yet to release a complete layout of the official map, leaving the accuracy of this fan-made version largely debatable. However, the situation raises compelling questions about fan engagement and intellectual property rights in the gaming community.
