Scrapped GTA 5 Story DLC Might Have Taken the Series Overseas for the First Time in 15 Years
A recent leak of Grand Theft Auto 5 assets has revealed ambitious scrapped story DLC plans for the game, including potential expansions that would have taken the series to new locations. Among the most notable cut content was a story DLC set in Paris, which would have marked the first time the main GTA series visited an overseas setting in over 15 years. The leak also uncovered plans for a Liberty City map expansion that never made it to release.
The leaked files and assets surfaced online last week, showcasing various pieces of cut content from GTA 5’s development. Upon discovering the leak, Rockstar Games acted quickly to protect the unreleased content, issuing takedown notices to content creators who were sharing and discussing footage and images of the scrapped DLC and early versions of the upcoming GTA 6 map.
The revelation has generated significant interest among the GTA community, as it demonstrates the scope of content Rockstar had originally envisioned for the game’s post-launch support. While GTA 5’s story DLC never materialized—with Rockstar instead focusing on the live-service Grand Theft Auto Online—these leaked assets provide a window into what fans might have experienced had these plans come to fruition.
