Rockstar Games has announced that A Safehouse in the Hills, a massive new update launching December 10, will let players purchase luxury mansions complete with features that make previous properties look like budget motels. What better way to introduce these sprawling estates than by bringing back the man, the myth, the legend himself, Michael De Santa?
Michael's involvement appears to center on welcoming players to the exclusive Vinewood Hills neighborhood. His return marks a rare crossover between Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online, which are still canonically set in the same universe - its understandable if you have forgotten that between the orbital lasers, zombie apocalypse and other outlandish content.
The centerpiece of the update is the introduction of Prix Luxury Real Estate, a company offering three different mansion properties in some of Los Santos' most desirable locations. Each mansion comes with ostentatious trophy cabinets where you can display your achievements, a private salon for relaxation, and perhaps most surprisingly, animal kennels for domesticated companions.
