Investigating GTA V's Cancelled DLC
Following the release of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar heavily teased single-player story DLC that followed Michael, Trevor, and Franklin after the events of the story. This would not happen. In the years since, Rockstar's leaked source code, developer interviews and datamining have painted a picture of what these expansions were. From returning to Liberty City, zombies, aliens and even Trevor working as a Secret Agent, let's take a look at the cancelled DLC for GTA V.

    The zombie apocalypse Michael DLC stings the most. I consider undead nightmare a standalone zombie game and it’s one of the best imo. The thought of “what could have been” stings so much, they could’ve split the online into a whole second zombie version opening a whole new world for their micro transactions, EVERYONE could’ve gotten what they wanted. It’s a shame.

    The only other news of sequels I’ve heard about: 2020- Video Games Deluxe (New team made of most of Team Bondi’s original employees and director) posted on linked mentioning a new open world VR game with rockstar, after making a VR LA Noire adaptation in 2017. Nothing really happens with this as far as I know. 2024- there was some rumor/ leaked announcement of a new LA Noire successor titled “Sowden House” also set in 1940s LA. Video Games Deluxe clarified on their linked in page: “A statement for news regarding "Sowden House" We are working exclusively on projects for Rockstar. We commissioned some music from a local composer Freyja Garbett for a VR project that we were working on a number of years ago when between projects. It is based on a case from LA Noire that did not make the cut but was more of a tech demo than anything else. We have no idea whether this will ever see the light of day but we decided to finish the score commission to support a local composer.” While this pretty much out the Sowden House game assumption to rest. It hints that they may be interested in a sequel as you don’t make a tech demo based from LA Noire for no reason

  • @MiamiMarkYT

    Whatever the reason, it’s a tragedy that Rockstar has decisively pivoted from games as a platform for art, story, and entertainment first to live services as vehicle for the safest and most scalable profit possible. The massive scales and budgets of the new Rockstar model make smaller passion projects for niche fanbases like Manhunt impossible, and the profit margins from funneling post launch content into Online where Shark Card sales are worth billions make single player expansions uncompetitive financially.

    I would've loved singleplayer dlc, I never got the appeal of online. It always seemed like half-baked mini games with a nearly unplayable open world unless you played in a private match. But I guess online made enough money to justify shelving everything else to add more slop to it.

    Zombies was a huge missed opportunity which could have very well redeemed 5's lackluster gunplay. Whether you think 4's is objectively better or not, the fact that shooting people in GTA 5 is very dull is pretty undeniable. Mixing that up by adding something specifically designed for fast-paced combat where items like the baseball bat are actually useful, for example, would have gone a long way in making the gameplay less mediocre than it is in the final product. Not to mention how running people over would instantly become so much more gratifying when I'm mowing down hordes of the undead in my Duke O' Death apocalypse wagon rather than thousands of random innocent pedestrians 😂

    I feel like there's a common element getting Rockstar to cancel and cut their best expansions of already developed content. The V DLCs and RDR 2 Beta would make the games stay in headlines way longer than all the online expansions combined. Prolific games had their legacies capped. Remember when the IV DLCs were coming out? Let's hope they change the pace come VI.

    GTA V lowkey exposed rockstar for being shitty, as well as the development of RDR2. Heard they were working like slaves.

    I have a serious love hate relationship with GTA Online. Almost like an Addict, I eventually broke free of it and realized that it has nearly destroyed Rockstar. I'm kinda afraid of what's going to happen with Six. Rockstar has already admitted they have toned down the jokes. Not only is the GTA series known for taking risks, but also it's commentary on the absurdism of America. The "New Management" seems to not understand that and I'm betting all of the jokes are going to be "Safe" and "Tame" to avoid controversy.
