The upcoming DLC is likely centered around the McKenzie Field Hangar, with speculation about new aircraft, customization options, and gameplay mechanics.
Grand Theft Auto Online players are in for a treat. While there's still no Grand Theft Auto 6 news, Rockstar Games is keeping the fanbase busy with recent subtle hints about an upcoming expansion for the inhabitants of Los Santos. Simply by logging into the game, you'll receive a cryptic text from Ron about the McKenzie Field Hangar. The timing of this tease is particularly intriguing, as it follows Rockstar's established pattern of building anticipation for new content.
Just last year, Rockstar did something similar when they teased the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid two weeks before its official release on March 7, 2024. This has led many to believe that we could be looking at a potential release date of March 4, 2025, for the next major update. While Rockstar has remained tight-lipped about the details, it's easy to connect the dots with the mention of a hangar in the recent tease, particularly with the expansion, Oscar Guzman Flies Again.
Historically, Rockstar has released smaller updates in March, such as the Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit and the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series. However, this pattern was disrupted in 2018, only to resurface with The Last Dose and The Cluckin' Bell Raid, albeit with a new "drip-feed" release strategy rather than a single title update.
Adding to the excitement is the current in-game hangar sale, which serves as a precursor to the new content. This sale, coupled with the end of the current GTA+ period on March 4, has led to speculation that we might see the new content as early as next week. Rockstar's marketing strategy of using in-game communication to tease upcoming DLCs is not new. They've successfully employed this tactic for previous major updates, including the Diamond Casino Heist.
It'll be interesting to see what Rockstar has up its sleeve. Will we see new aircraft? Perhaps expanded hangar customization options? Or could this be the introduction of entirely new gameplay mechanics centered around air travel and smuggling operations? We'll find out soon enough.
It definitely seems like Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick wasn't lying when he said that they'll continue supporting GTA Online even well after Grand Theft Auto 6 has released. Speaking of Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar finally confirmed the release date of the PC port of the current-gen-console-exclusive versions of the game.
