GTA 5 DLC: Liberty City expansion coming to single-player?

GTA 5 single-player mode has long been overshadowed by the popularity of GTA Online, which has often driven away Rockstar's developmental efforts including DLC releases towards the latter. However, renowned YouTuber MrBossFTW aka Ross has raised some hopes of seeing a new single-player DLC for GTA 5 based on some Liberty City game locales in near future.

Coming back to Liberty City DLC, the tipster clarifies to a fan that he is actually referring to the game location and not just the textures found in the files. This could actually mean that Rockstar's recent release of Liberty City stories for mobile phones and the game's secret unlockable T-Shirt reading: "I love Liberty City", may have something to do with Rockstar's plans for releasing a single-player DLC in GTA 5 for current-gen gaming platforms.

We've already been there in the HD age. I'd rather see a smaller new place while Vice City is done in GTAVI

I really want an Alien invasion, non cannon story similar to undead nightmare. Either that or a Supernatural one where not only Zombies roam the map but witches, werewolf's, ghosts, vampires, swamp monsters, banshees etc roam around...like Trevor has found the book of the dead or something and unleashed evil on Los Santos XD

[Jalva]

It could work, GTAV is no stranger to acid.

[-Foxtrot]

Well there is that but even a silly, non cannon story would work

It worked for Red Dead...it was like "here's is a zombie single player story DLC...just because"

[GHOSTxx420]

Haven't they confirmed there wouldnt be any single player Dlc?

Would love to see it dont get me wrong im just pretty sure they said no already to the single player dlc. I hope im wrong ive been wanting to get back into this game.

[Liqu1d]

Don't think so. Last I remember them talking about SP DLC was 2014 where they said "stay tuned for news on story DLC" or something like that. Haven't had any news since.

I do remember them saying that the team is focused on the online mode at the moment, but I haven't seen a confirmation that SP DLC is cancelled.

To be honest I don't think SP DLC will happen anymore now that they've got the cash cards making them money. Sad really because I bought GTA for SP, and even though I played a lot of multiplayer I always wanted more SP content.

[derrickgott007]

When I broke the story of GTAV coming to ps4/xb1 people argued with me and said "No its not, Rockstar said it isnt" when clearly Rockstar has a record of saying "No we are not" when clearly they are.

[deadpoolio316]

YES actually they did....They clearly stated there are no plans for anything SP and their focus was going to be on GTA online content/events in that from here on out

[GHOSTxx420]

Well maybe it wont be single player but online and thats where we will get the liberty city.. Idk guess time will tell

[Pixelart]

Seen Ash vs Evil Dead? That cheesey slapstick horror would work well in a GTA5 DLC

[Psychotica]

This is supposed to be a serious game not some kind of over the top Saints Row game. I for one hope they never do any of that crap you are suggesting.

[-Foxtrot]

Red Dead was serious and they did something silly...everyone loved it

Same would happen here

[cogniveritas]

Some part of me thinks that if Red Dead Redemption had online multiplayer that we never would have gotten Undead Nightmare. There would have been a bunch of multiplayer guns and events instead.

[-Foxtrot]

That's why they need to open a new studio or get a studio they already have to create a seperate online GTA game or whatever online game they are currently doing in the main Rockstar branch.

Then they can release it well after release while the main team work on the core part of the game and the expansions.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

What do you mean if RDR had online multiplayer? Do you mean a separate entity like GTA Online?

[Clown_Syndr0me]

RDR had a brilliant multiplayer. ..

[badz149]

@cogniveritas

Dude...RDR does have MP.

[_-EDMIX-_]

? My issue with this article is how do they know? No one actually knows if the team working on the online would be working on SP or even if they ever did in the first place.

"which has often driven away Rockstar's developmental efforts including DLC releases towards the latter"

Who at Rockstar stated its online content was made by the same people who would be making the single player or that it was made instead of single player dlc?

" if Red Dead Redemption had online multiplayer that we never would have gotten Undead Nightmare. There would have been a bunch of multiplayer guns and events instead"

Sooooooooo how exactly do you know that? Red Dead Redemption right now HAS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!

I'm sorry but I have to seriously question what you think you know, when you say something like "if Red Dead Redemption had online mulitiplayer"

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

So what if it had a feature that it actually for a fact has?

Did you forget GTAIV has online multiplayer too?

Have you not factored that they have done both and that the people making the online, are not the same people making its single player dlc? You do know that they hire developers based on certain talents right?

@FOX- "
Then they can release it well after release while the main team work on the core part of the game and the expansions" No.

How do you know they don't already have a team doing that and they are making GTA Online as a add on bonus vs a different thing? The core team is still the team that actually does the single player, they just brought in new members to do the networking and create the multiplayer modes.

I'm pretty sure they didn't just get THE ENTIRE TEAM doing mulitplayer. Consider what your saying, is very likely already how they develop GTA in the first place, merely just have the online part of the game, they likely don't feel it will do well enough on its own.

I could see case for making it separate for business reasons, but it makes more sense to just add it for free as a mode and bank on the DLC vs lower its potential install base.

[showtimefolks]

personally i think it's too lte for GTA dlc single plater story. if it was gonna happen it would have happened already

i think we will see R* release a game in 2016(RDR,Agent,midnight club,La:noire etc,)

if a single player dlc is released i will buy it for sure but personally i just don't see that happening. R* are also making a lot of money from gta online

[deadpoolio316]

No there are idiot GTA fanboys who even after all this time would still claim it was going to be like the second coming of Jesus from the fairy tales and would buy it.....The people who just think GTA is OK have moved on and wouldn't touch it

[MJunior]

A better source, if you allow me to suggest:

[crazychris4124]

For DLC I'm ok with it. Next game should be an original city but Vice City could work too.

[HOOHAARR]

I for one have no interest in GTA Online and if they don't announce something about story dlc soon I'll be selling my copy! I reall don't like the direction Rockstar seem to be taking GTA!!

[deadpoolio316]

What you don't like the overly realistic gritty ghetto thug life narrative....It definitely was much better back in the GTA 3 and Vice City days

[HOOHAARR]

GTA's one of the only single player games still worth buying, looks like that's about to change!!

[Benoski]

They've already clearly stated that their whole focus is on GTA Online now.

I don't see this happening.

[Antifan]

When is N4G gonna get tired of posting baseless rumors and clickbait? Some random, faceless guy said this and that on Twitter, it must be true.

[Kalebninja]

Its called a rumor for a reason, no one said it's true but every now and then rumors by people who have no credibility have come true.

[RiseofScorpio]

None of this will happen because they're too busy making overpriced DLCs essentially surrendering you to those infernal Shark cards.

[Kalebninja]

Overpriced dlcs? Every dlc has been free, if you don't want to actually spend time playing the game the shark cards are an option.

[jay2]

O I've been waiting 2 yrs for story dlc love sp over mp in games hope so

[Moe-Gunz]

I'm born and raised in NY and I'm sick of GTA going to Liberty City. Can be go back to Vice City please?

[Moe-Gunz]

R* if you're just going to stick with GTA:O can you have some guys work on a new Manhunt and Red Dead Redemption?

[sander9702]

I just want any kind of SP DLC to be honest.

[wenaldy]

Retarded article with retarded rumor.

[TesMgsFan]

Why not put las vegas in it and a introduction to casino's then putting LC.

[RedDeadLB]

Wouldn't count on it.

[Germany7]

To be honest, i think we will not have a dlc single-player for GTA V anymore, and that's disappointing.

It was a blast to play expansions like Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption, also the two dlcs for GTA IV, making the whole experience for that game really awesome.

[deafdani]

This doesn't make much sense to me. We've already seen plenty of Liberty City on GTA 4 and Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost and Damned.

We've gotta consider that the expansion DLC for Red Dead Redemption also took place on the same map as the original game. With this in mind, I don't see Rockstar making a whole new location for a GTAV dlc story... they would be more likely to just make a new campaign set in Los Santos, new story, new characters, new places to visit within the same map.

TLDR: I don't believe this rumor a single bit.

[NitrousX]

Hmnm I wouldn't write this off just yet. As I recall when CVG did a interview with one of the R* developers they said they would like to have GTA Online as a separate universe where R* could allow players to visit Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City. Being able to transverse them in one big map. So GTA Online could eventually become a mass mmo game. Already it's very successful with regular free DLC. With a Large player base too. So if R* doesn't bring it single player DLC I think R* will continue to invest in their GTA Online universe instead.
