Some gamers believe that Rockstar Games has teased GTA 6 by adding the Mambas 24 livery in GTA Online. Technically speaking, this new cosmetic for the Emperor Vectre has existed for a long time. It just wasn’t obtainable until recently; the new GTA+ bonuses made the skin available.

GTA 6 Teasers
Nonetheless, Rockstar Games has added things to GTA Online that were found in GTA 6 via the mega-leak. Examples include:
- Vice City Metro Mule logo
- New eCola logo
This is why it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think Rockstar Games has continued to add teasers for its highly anticipated title, Grand Theft Auto 6.

The tweets shown in this article are all examples of gamers who think the new Mambas 24 livery for the Emperor Vectre in GTA Online references GTA 6 in some capacity. Here are some common reasons why certain people believe that this is the case:
- The name of the Vice City football team is Vice City Mambas.
- This logo is allegedly from GTA 6.
- The “24” on the livery supposedly hints at the game being released in 2024 (or at least a trailer for it).
GTA 6 Release Date
There is no confirmation that the next Grand Theft Auto 6 released or announced by or in 2024. Thus, this notion of the Emperor Vectre’s new livery being a teaser of some kind could just be mere speculation.
The snake logo on the side of the car was seen in the leaked GTA 6 footage. Also with this being a Vice City livery it sounds like something R* would do. Teased GTA V in various ways in TBoGT and Max Payne 3, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do it again.

It is worth mentioning that the Emperor Vectre was initially released on August 21, 2021, long before the GTA 6 leaks happened. Gamers knew that the car had some unreleased liveries but had no knowledge of how to unlock them.
Thus, if the Mambas 24 livery was a teaser for the next game, it was in GTA Online’s files much longer than its recent release date would suggest. Some vehicles still have unreleased liveries, but whether they’re teasers or not is anybody’s guess.
