[00:01] today's gaming news, Take 2 is on the hunt for whoever is leaking those GTA 6 gameplay videos. The next special edition Xbox is crazy expensive and the live [music] action God of War has been recast. This is your daily fix.
[00:24] from both [music] Microsoft and Discord as it hunts the leaker or leakers behind the recent spate of GTA 6 gameplay video. First reported by Kotaku, the Rockstar Games parent company issued the request yesterday, August 20th, in the
[00:37] of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act subpoena. It wants information and account which is allegedly behind the GJ6 leaks. The subpoena requests all user accounts that were members of a number of Discord servers. Take 2 wants
[00:53] investigative records associated with its own internal investigation of Cyber League as well and calls for any GTA Rockstar or Cyber League content from One of the Discord servers mentioned in the filing is the Dark Viper AU editor
[01:08] server. DarkViper AU is the online name of Australian GTA content creator Matthew Matt Judge who has 2.27 million subscribers on YouTube. Judge has leaked GJ6 videos this week. The subpoena has emerged even as the leaker
[01:22] continues to release GTA 6 gameplay videos. Today, the leak stretched into a gameplay video hit the internet. It's the sixth apparent GTA 6 gameplay video that has leaked onto the internet this week, and neither Rockstar nor Take 2
[01:35] has issued any statement on the matter. IN has asked both for comment. Moving on, pricing details for Microsoft's special edition 25th anniversary Xbox translucent green console is just as expensive as we had feared. The ever
[01:48] now revealed that the console will cost an eye watering 900, which typically translates to the same $900 price point in the US. A release date has also been uncovered, November 27th, which lines up nicely with Black Friday. Xbox is
[02:02] expected to make its special edition 25th anniversary Xbox Series X pricing and availability official next week at Gamescom. Stand by for official confirmation then and much more from the show here on IGN. And finally today,
[02:14] Dave Bautista has officially replaced Ryan Hurst as Kratos in the liveaction God of War series at Amazon. This news doesn't come as a huge surprise. Reports join the project earlier this month. Hurst was in the middle of filming a
[02:26] stunt for the series when he tore his bicep. The injury was severe and his thrown a major wrench in production, prompting the studio to recast the role didn't take long for them to find their new Kratos and fans of the series are
[02:39] already praising this casting choice. Though many are noting that the actor, who famously dropped 75 pounds in late 2024, will likely need to bulk up to his Drax the Destroyerbot again. Prime Video's God of War series will
[02:51] reportedly restart production in October with prep beginning this month. August 21st. Now that you're caught up on the news, watch this week's NextG all the big games we're going to see at Gamescom next week. I'm Damon Hatfield.
