As one of the most highly anticipated video games at the recently concluded Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 2016) in Los Angeles, the game publisher made a slew of updates regarding the open-world RPG's online version including an upcoming DLC this summer.
As reported by iTech Post, GTA 5's online version will receive a raft of new updates from the publisher such as three new maps along with other in-game features. In addition, there a new playable character will also be added in the game's online mode.
So far, Rockstar's creative studio has not released any details of this so-called "playable character" which is expected to arrive as soon as the next update to the crime-themed video game's online version gets rolled out.
The expanded map roster that will be featured in the next GTA 5 online update include the following locations: Place IV (The Lost House in Grapeseed), Place V (Little Seoul), and Place VI (Harmony Place Construction Site), Yibada reported. The report also mentioned that gamers can already bookmark the maps right away.
Meanwhile, another GTA 5 downloadable content is on the way according to a report by Express. Following GTA 5's latest DLC title "Further Adventures in Finance and Felony," a new expansion is set to arrive this summer for the game's online version known as "Cunning Stunts."
The latest upcoming DLC will reportedly feature a number of souped-up versions of flashy cars already found in the game's huge roster of available vehicles which includes Bravado Banshee 900R, Cheetah, Pegassi Osiris, Truffade Adder, Vapid Bullet, to a name a few.
Also, "Cunning Stunts" offer players an extended version of the game's Creator tools. With GTA 5 Creator tools, players can design their own race tracks and customizable missions, Inquisitr reported. Moreover, a "stunt academy" is reportedly present within the DLC which offer gamers optional tools like loops and ramps for customized race tracks so they can practice some crazy car stunts.
As for GTA 6, latest rumors suggest that the game will be moved outside the US particularly in London. In addition, the sequel will reportedly feature the biggest map in the Grand Theft Auto series. If rumors prove accurate, the next iteration to the game will also include another franchise milestone: the first ever female protagonist in the in the history of the series. Such historic milestones in the series may require a lot of time to develop the game sequel with release with a 2018 release window (or 2020 the latest).
