Rockstar will roll out the much-awaited "Heists" DLC to "Grand Theft Auto Online" ahead of the release of the PC version, which was pushed further to March 24. Rockstar has promised that the new content will be released in early 2015, but now, the game studio has vaguely pinpointed a release date, which will supposedly be "in the coming weeks."
The co-op missions and communal felony everyone is dying to get were set to arrive along with "Grand Theft Auto V" for PC but just recently, Rockstar asked for "a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make [the PC version of GTA 5] as good as can be." For now, players can look forward to what they were previously promised to receive — 20 hours of gameplay and three reliable teammates of distinct roles, all to get to their multiple objectives. The missions are divided into five unique strands and they all call for "tight communication and co-ordination."
Going back to the news about the major "GTA V" delay for PC, Rockstar explained the move, saying, "Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March."
"Grand Theft Auto V" was supposed to be released on Jan. 27. While Rockstar has not thrown much light and a solid reason for the game's dismaying holdup, Metro broached that effort for PC releases has not been this much as compared to previous years. Metro, for this particular matter, believes that "GTA V" for PC will become a "definition edition," after the setback.
