It seems after over a year from the initial promises that heists would be incorporated into GTA V online, Rockstar is finalizing the inclusion of the highly coveted game mode.
“…we’ve got some really exciting stuff in the works to continue adding to, expanding and evolving the world of Grand Theft Auto Online – including the highly anticipated launch of Online Heists which will be available for all four consoles as the first GTA Online Update…” – Rockstar official report
More details are to come soon, but for many fans the anticipation of heists slowly died down as the developer took longer and longer to add the organized multiplayer experience.
With heists coming now for the new-generation the excitement will likely build once again, but with no concrete release date for the update and the past prolonged duration of waiting, fans should remain cautious in their optimism that the game mode comes within a reasonable time frame.
