Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) is known for its gripping storyline and multiple endings, but recent discoveries from the game’s leaked source code have revealed two alternate, far more gruesome endings for protagonists Trevor and Michael. While these cut scenes are undeniably shocking, many fans are relieved they didn’t make it into the final game.
What Are the Hidden Endings?
In the official version of GTA 5, players are given three choices at the end of the game:
- Choice A: Kill Trevor
- Choice B: Kill Michael
- Choice C: Deathwish (spare both)
However, the leaked source code revealed that Choices A and B originally had much more brutal outcomes:
- Trevor’s Alternate Death: Frozen and smashed to death by a giant piece of wood.
- Michael’s Alternate Death: Dropped onto a rotating helicopter blade, turning him into “paste.”
These scenes were ultimately cut from the final game, and fans have mixed feelings about them.
Fan Reactions: Shock and Relief
On the r/GTA subreddit, users shared their thoughts on the hidden endings.
User Arrow-2-The-Knee commented:
“Trevor’s death in the game is better than the cut one, but the death for Michael… holy st, it sounds much cooler.”
Another user, LeoCaldwell02, added:
“Franklin must’ve watched Jason X before killing Trevor. Brutal AF!!”
While some fans found the alternate deaths intriguing, others agreed that they were too over-the-top and cheesy. As one user put it, “I’m glad they were cut. The deaths in the actual game are much better.”
Why Were These Endings Cut?
Rockstar Games is known for its attention to detail and storytelling, and it’s likely that these alternate endings were deemed too extreme or tonally inconsistent with the rest of the game. The final versions of Choices A and B strike a balance between drama and realism, making them more impactful for players.
