'GTA 5' DLC release date news: Single player DLC coming next year after release of 'Red Dead Redemption 2'

Rockstar Games is nowhere near done with "Grand Theft Auto 5" and if the latest reports are to be believed, the long-awaited single-player downloadable content (DLC) is coming next year.

"GTA" tipster Yan2295 is claiming that the expansion, which is believed to have been abandoned by Rockstar, is coming after the release of "Red Dead Redemption 2," which will be out fall next year.

"Remember how I kept saying that the SP DLC is no longer a thing, that they basically cancelled it and forgot about it to instead use some of it and their efforts on GTA Online Updates? Well, apparently upper management are starting to seriously consider bringing it back, even though it would only come after RDR2 launches (and maybe not right after it, could be a while)," Yan2295 wrote on GTA Forums.

He added that 60 to 70 percent of the purported "GTA 5" single player DLC was already complete before Rockstar ultimately decided to pull the plug on it.

"Basically the biggest part of the job is done, completing it would not be that hard," the tipster wrote, adding that this very DLC could be ready for show after "Red Dead Redemption 2" comes out.

If this information is accurate, Rockstar is not looking to stop support on "GTA 5" anytime soon. Another GTA Forums tipster, who correctly predicted the "Bikers" DLC release, claims that the studio is looking to release a couple of online map extensions.

One will reportedly be released late next year and the other will be out fall of 2018. If this will be the case, fans will not have to worry about the follow of DLC coming to "GTA 5" in the next couple of years.

Only after these purported DLCs could fans turn their attention to "GTA 6," which is reportedly coming by 2020 at the earliest.
