The image shows nothing but trees and a low-poly Lion model. Not a single feature of the hero from the finished version is visible in it, and the muzzle of a lion is drawn on the face with a black brush. Eng noted that for an early stage in the game's development process, these models could be considered "pretty much finished".

Probably, the publication of Eng is connected with a flash mob, which was launched by game developers in solidarity with Rockstar Games. At the beginning of the week, there was a major leak of material related to Grand Theft Auto VI, including gameplay videos. After that, many companies supported Rockstar and published screenshots of early versions of already released products.
