Three years after the initial release of "Grand Theft Auto 5," Rockstar Games is, by no means, done with the open world action-adventure video game.

Based on the rumored plans of the studio for "GTA 5" on the expansion front, gamers have seen nothing yet with two massive online maps reportedly planned for the game.

If a leak from a GTA Forums user who predicted the release of the "Bikers" expansion is to be believed, "GTA 5" will get downloadable content (DLC) support from the developer even a couple of years down the line.

"GTA 5" will reportedly receive the so-called "North Yankton and Liberty City" DLC, which is set for release in September next year. This expansion should add the titular locations to the already massive map of the game.

This "GTA 5" DLC will reportedly allow players to enter the stock market, where they can trade. A new office will be made available, especially for such dealings.

It will allegedly come with an open ticket for city slickers in Liberty City and another for snow blowers in North Yankton.

The rumored "GTA 5" DLC will also reportedly feature an exclusive VIP membership for high rollers, which gives them access to the Los Santos casino, which will supposedly come out with the said expansion.

The other one, which will reportedly see the light of day in October 2018, is the "San Fierro and Las Ventures" DLC. This one was reportedly built by Rockstar along with Los Santos during the early stages of the development of "GTA 5," but it was ultimately scrapped as the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 did not have enough power to support it at the time.

With the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One (and even with the Xbox Project Scorpio and PS4 Pro), Rockstar reportedly decided to revisit San Fierro and Las Ventures for "GTA 5."

Both the "North Yankton and Liberty City" and "San Fierro and Las Ventures" DLCs will reportedly be priced as a full game and are in active development.

As for what has Rockstar has been up to recently, the studio just rolled out the Halloween DLC for "GTA 5."
