Rockstar Games has finally announced that the highly anticipated first trailer for GTA 6 will be revealed in December, exciting fans around the world. While players eagerly await their first official glimpse of the game, new leaks have surfaced regarding Rockstar's plans to support GTA 6 post-launch.
Earlier this year, Rockstar Games shocked the gaming community by confirming the existence of GTA 6, putting an end to months of speculation and numerous rumors. Although gameplay leaks have already provided a wealth of information about the game, including the inclusion of a female protagonist and a return to Vice City, details about DLC plans have been scarce, until now.
Unlike its predecessor, GTA 5, which received no downloadable content (DLC) and instead focused on expanding GTA Online, sources now suggest that GTA 6 will take a different approach. Tez2, a reliable insider, has shed some light on the matter in a recent post on the GTA Forums.
Tez2 explained that Rockstar has considered single-player DLC for every title since GTA IV, but plans for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were abandoned due to the focus on online gameplay and development of future titles. However, for GTA 6, Rockstar may be adopting an episodic content model, similar to expansions, which would be released yearly or biyearly.
This approach would allow for a moderately sized initial release, with the game expanding over time through the addition of new missions and content. Not only would this keep the single-player campaign fresh and dynamic, but it could also help reduce the crunch often associated with game development.
While these leaks provide exciting possibilities for GTA 6's post-launch support, it is important to approach them with caution until Rockstar officially confirms any plans. However, with the highly anticipated trailer set to debut in December, fans won't have to wait long for potential confirmation of this episodic expansion strategy.
As the release date for the trailer draws near, it is expected that more news and updates about GTA 6 will pour in, giving fans a clearer picture of what to expect from the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
