Although the promised new DLC for "Grand Theft Auto V" was not delivered by the end of 2014, "GTA" fans should still not lose hope as one of the voice talents claimed that Rockstar Games is indeed working on the expansion pack. 

Shawn Fonteno, the voice actor who portrayed the role of Franklin in the game, mentioned during an interview that the game developers of "Grand Theft Auto V" are currently working on the DLC, and they are planning to release it sometime soon.

Meanwhile, rumors claim that the failed Christmas release of the "Heist" DLC will still push through but on a different date. According to reports, the development of the expansion pack is already in its final phase, and the new release date will coincide with the release of the PC edition of "GTA V." The leaked reports came from a "GTA V" tipster named nillxforums, who released the information online.

On related news, prolific YouTube tipster DomisLive a.k.a. Dom also released several details about the locations of the "Heist" DLC for "GTA Online." Some of the leaked details include game codes for "GTA V Online," such as:

  • LOCATE_NEAREST_REDNER_POINT - This source code points to the "Render Point" for AI spawning during an ongoing Heist mission.
