GTA Online is the multiplayer experience Rockstar wants you to have in its upcoming game. Slated to be launched on October 1, this component has been developed by its creator so as to combine the concepts of freedom, ambient activity and mission-based gameplay with a detailed and responsive GTA world filled with multiple gamers. Up to 16 players will be able to participate at a time in cooperative missions, group-based activities and ambient events as well as in traditional competitive game modes.
Rockstar Games has revealed that GTA Online will be supported by it regularly post its release, with a promise of new content every now and then. And that’s not all; it’s not only the developers who’ll be creating content for it, as user-generated missions will also form part of GTA Online. As can be seen in the video posted below, you will be able to build fresh races or missions using the mode’s content creator. These can even be shared with others.
Character customization seems to have been embraced by GTA Online in a big way, even as you’ll be able to modify your character, purchase vehicles, enhance your ranks and more in it. Moreover, you’ll even get your own apartment which too will have various customization options. According to CVG, the characters will be seen lip-syncing to what you say over the microphone. Remember the gameplay video which had left us wondering what the fourth slot on the character selection wheel was for? That’s from where you enter the multiplayer mode.
GTA Online will be launched two weeks after Grand Theft Auto 5’s official release date which is to fall on September 17.
