What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

The report is IGN Brasil's, on its own for now. They usually verify before posting. Few names pull a crowd like GTA. Worth remembering: GTA already had a delay announced on 10/15/2026. An announced date is a promise, not a guarantee — and this one has taught that lesson before.

Bottom line: The core of it should hold; if another outlet tells it differently, that shows up below.
