Rockstar have revealed a new Freemode Event update that will allow for the removal of menus, lobbies and load times. The update will arrive on Tuesday, September 15.
It will give fans the chance to enter servers with open Freemode session filled with chaotic new games and challenges, including new ones such as King of the Castle and Hunt the Beast.
A Rockstar Newswire post explains: “One of these events can kick off at any given moment while in Freemode, and you can customize your session to decide exactly which ones will happen – so you can play as much or as little of this new content as you like.
“Feeling locked and stocked? Look out for King of the Castle – an every man for himself turf war where you’ll need to ascend and claim the designated ‘castle’ as your territory – and then fend off everyone else as they go all out to dethrone you.
“Form fragile alliances and work together in modes like Hunt the Beast, where one volunteer is temporarily transformed into a faster, stronger, beastly character who must escape relentless pursuers.
“Freemode Events also take the shape of insane stunt challenges, such as popping the longest wheelie, catching the most air in a land vehicle, or performing the most near misses in a vehicle without crashing.”
Speaking on the future of GTA Online, Director of Design at Rockstar North Imran Sarwar revealed that there was no specific time limit to how long it will be updated and will be more down to how long people play it.
“As long as people continue to Play and enjoy GTA Online, we will keep making content and evolving the experience,” he said.
“We still have a ton of ideas that we’d like to see make it into the game and are going to continue pushing the limits of what’s possible.”
The update will also include the new Rockstar Editor for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and new options for those on PC.
