New GTA 5 Leak Suggests Rockstar Had Ambitious, City-Sized DLC Plans That Were Ultimately Scrapped
GTA 5 has suffered a new leak that suggests Rockstar Games had ambitious, city-sized DLC plans for the game.
A recent leak has revealed that Rockstar Games had ambitious plans for a Liberty City DLC in GTA 5, but these plans were ultimately abandoned. The nearly 200GB source code, which was leaked in 2023, has now been made public and is being analyzed by interested parties. According to reports, the Liberty City DLC found in the files is significantly larger than the one in GTA 4.
The map outline, based on shorelines and audio zones, has been shared by Twitter user TJGM. The leak also includes information about Agent Trevor's DLC mission names, cut vehicles, dialogue, and cutscenes. Actor Steven Ogg, who plays Trevor, confirmed that the original plan was for Trevor to be a secret agent in a single-player DLC.
However, the project was eventually canceled as the focus shifted to GTA Online. GTA dataminers have discovered references to Trevor with a jetpack, indicating that story mode DLC was repurposed into GTA Online. Rockstar's co-founder, Dan Houser, also addressed the DLC, stating that its development would have prevented the creation of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The company has faced several security breaches in the past, including the CyberLeek incident, and takes extensive measures to protect its secrets.
