The authenticity of these leaks is yet to be confirmed by Rockstar Games, so take this information with a pinch of salt.

Earlier today, Rockstar Games released the highly anticipated GTA Online update, Bottom Dollar Bounties. Filled with new properties to purchase and bounties to hunt, players are already busy getting stuck into this summer’s big GTA Online update.

But while players start up yet another business to run, data miners have uncovered evidence of the game’s next big update, and it looks like it’s set to see zombies invade a fan-favourite spot from Grand Theft Auto 5.

Season 4 Reloaded will include a new 6v6 map, a special mutation mode, and a new spin on an iconic map.

While it’s no surprise that even more GTA Online updates are in the works, fans weren’t quite expecting to get a glimpse into what looks to be the next major content update for Rockstar’s massive live service title.

With the release of today’s update, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online received a new patch for players to download across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. This meant that a plethora of new files were added to the game, and while many of them were used for the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, there appear to be a handful of files added to the game in preparation for a future update.

X (formerly Twitter) users Lucas7yoshi_RS and Floorball both took to the platform earlier today to reveal their discovery of a new zombie survival mode within GTA Online. “So seems for Halloween, part of it is like new survival with new zombies and spawns,” Lucas said on X. The user then discovered that this mode would be set within North Yankton, which is the prologue location in Grand Theft Auto 5.

Lucas continued to dig further into the files until they stumbled across some zombie animations for the potential mode, which you can check out below. They also noted that there looks to be “proper new melee animations” within the game files, but they were unable to show them in-game.

Another data miner also found evidence of the upcoming mode, taking to X to publish what appears to be the official description for the survival mode.

None of the above details have been confirmed by Rockstar Games just yet, so take these details with a pinch of salt for the time being.
