Data was found yesterday (October 5) by Rockstar Intel’s @videotech_ (as spotted by PC Gamer) via a Rockstar Launcher update. Within the update lie references to the trilogy’s supposed individual games – GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas. In addition, a memory dump of the launcher.exe file was also posted on GTAForums.

The decoded text also includes references to “Unreal”, which suggests that all three games have been remastered with Unreal Engine. This is definitely new for the series as these GTA games were originally developed with middleware engine Renderware, while later instalments from GTA 4 onwards have used Rockstar’s proprietary RAGE engine.
This datamine follows on from last week’s report that the unannounced GTA trilogy remaster was rated in South Korea, classified under the title Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. Rumours of these remasters have been swirling over the summer, with parent company .
