As promised, Rockstar Games released today all sorts of new information and a video for their upcoming Grand Theft Auto Online that is scheduled for release this October.
Grand Theft Auto Online will be sharing the gameplay features, geography and gameplay mechanics with Grand Theft Auto V but will expand and evolve after its launch with new content created by Rockstar Games and the GTA community. According to Rockstar Games, the upcoming online play that allows up to sixteen players will take the fundamental Grand Theft Auto concepts of freedom, ambient activity and mission-based gameplay and makes them available players in a detailed and responsive online world. In other words, think of this upcoming Grand Theft Auto Online as a mini-MMO since it will only allow up to sixteen players.
Another interesting information that Rockstar Games released today is that players will have freedom to explore alone or with friends, work cooperatively to complete missions, band together to participate in a plethora of activities or compete in the game’s traditional modes, all with the personality and refined mechanics found in Grand Theft Auto V.
To start it off, players will have an opportunity to customize their character appearance, improving their stats to be more competitive, have access to different vehicles, personal your safe housees, take part in othermissions, and earn reputation from other faction in the game.
Grand Theft Auto Online will be available October 1st. The game will be free with every retail copy of Grand Theft Auto V. For more information on Grand Theft Auto V, check back with us near the release date for our coverage.
