GTA V story DLC was cancelled due to GTA Online's popularity, says former Rockstar developer
In an interview with the SanInPlay YouTube channel, Joe Robino, former senior camera artist and virtual cinematographer at Rockstar, confirmed that a GTA V story DLC was in the works. It would feature Trevor Philips in a central role. But the project was cancelled due to the popularity and money-making factor of GTA Online. Some of the DLC's elements even ended up in GTA Online, Robino says.
Below are some excerpts from the interview:
This report corroborates with what Steven Ogg, the actor who played Trevor Philips, said in an interview. “Trevor was going to be undercover, he was working with the feds,” Ogg said. “We did shoot some of that stuff with ‘James Bond Trevor’, where he’s still kind of a f**k-up, but he’s doing his best. Then it just disappeared and they never did it, they never followed up on it.”
While we likely won't see the release of the DLC, would you have liked to see a story expansion for GTA V?
