We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know. Footage from the game has been repeatedly shared in recent days from an apparently playable build of the game. A person or organization calling themself CyberLeek has claimed responsibility for the leaks, which have been used in part to promote a cryptocurrency.

Publisher Take-Two Interactive has requested to be able to subpoena Microsoft and Discord over the copyright-infringing content in the hope of identifying the source of the leaks. Tomorrow fans are getting an extended look at the game in a show that will stream exclusively on Netflix at 3PM ET. The long-awaited game itself will release on November 19th.

We know that many of you have been waiting to hear from us regarding the events of the past week. We are very excited for everyone to see the extended look tomorrow.
