The summer winds seem to be bringing in exciting news for the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fandom from the city of Los Santos. “The Diamond Casino and Resort” is the newest structural addition to GTA 5 that fans have long awaited.
Vague release window in the rumour mill:
Rockstar Games has confirmed that the Downloadable Content (DLC) will release this summer and will be “the largest and most extravagant addition” to GTA 5 thus far. But Rockstar has sworn to keep fans guessing about its release of the first screenshot of the upcoming DLC. Gamers- be on your toes! The release of the first pictures and the launch of the DLC itself could be upon you! If the pattern created by the last few GTA casino teases is to be believed, we can expect the first pictures to be out today (July-11). This would be the first major update since the GTA Online Arena War update released in mid-December 2018. If July-11 materializes, we will have good reason to believe that the DLC will see its launch mid-July, next week. Backing up the claim, GTA Insider @Tezfunz2 had also previously predicted that the update would launch in mid-July.
However, the rumour mill has been running wild recently with abstract theories coming from @Tezfunz2 himself. A few days back, he took to the GTA forums to write about how long it normally takes Rockstar between the release date reveal and the actual launch itself. He pointed out that Rockstar has often taken the meticulous route when it has come to its quality assurance process. He hinted at a delay around the launch of the DLC as opposed to his prediction of the release in mid-July. The launch date, according to him, could be pushed further than July-18. Though this can come as regrettable news to the fans, they can only sit tight and look forward to a concrete and comforting update from Rockstar.
The whereabouts of the Casino:
The casino-extravaganza, belonging in Southern San Andreas, will feature “lavish amenities, exclusive shopping, first-class entertainment and state-of-the-art gaming facilities”, according to a statement from Rockstar. For those who have missed the (recently removed) “Opening Soon” sign, the casino sits near the Vinewood racetrack backdropped by the picturesque Tataviam Mountains.
The luxury gambling den accommodates “best-in-class concierge, valet parking, the exhilaration of spinning the Lucky Wheel for a chance at life-changing prizes, a finely curated selection of spirits at the bars and lounges, a range of sophisticated table games and much more”.
A six-year wait is about to come to fruition and the fans can wait no longer. Keep your eyes peeled for some titillating news that might find its way on to the official Rockstar social feed this week.
