With GTA 6 Waiting in the Wings, Fans Find Possible Evidence of Cut GTA 5 Story DLC, Canned Bully 2

As spotted by VGC, the latest news comes from the alleged leak of a database file for Grand Theft Auto 5, which is being dug into by the community. According to Twitter user @billsyliamgta, who credits GTA dataminers, this file includes reference to the unreleased Bully 2.

In 2018, Rockstar finally unveiled GTA Online's Doomsday Heist missions alongside the Thruster, a jetpack that's still exclusive to the multiplayer mode to this day. (It didn't take long for modders to add the jetpack into GTA 5's story mode, of course.)
