The latest DLC of the Grand Theft Auto 5 Online Heists Update for Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 rolled out on July 8 providing gamers with plenty of bonus treats, including several new game modes that were found in previous DLCs such as the Last Team Standing.

Rockstar Games treated loyal fans of hugely successful open-world action adventure video game GTA 5 with high-end cars, luxury items and accessories, new weapons, as well as tattoos, reported Master Herald.

Players will have the chance to drive the Coil Brawler, a luxury-sports beast off-roader with a monster suspension that packs a 400-horsepower engine capable of driving over all kinds of terrains.

If you want to race, you can unlock the Progen T20, which is described as the fastest car ever to hit the streets of Los Santos. For those who want to drive old school cars, there is the Vapid Chino. Then there is the Dinka Vindicator motorbike that combines agility and speed with its kinetic energy recovery system, capable of restoring energy from braking while providing a burst of speed when activated.

Earlier we reported that the new DLC also includes a Marksman Pistol and the Knuckle Duster, which some leaked files has suggested that Rockstar has added eight different customization options to modify these melee weapons based on an individual's taste and fighting skills on GTA online.

Other new bonuses in the DLC of Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 will be Stunt Racing mode, which was not included in Part 1.  In addition to all of that, some GTA 5 gamers have unearthed several images that relate to the upcoming Mansion DLC via the existing game files from the GTA 5 High-Life update.  Considering there are many rumors that Mansion DLC will be making its way into Ill-Gotten Gains, it is possible to see what could be a sneak peek.

Data collected by fan-based web site GTA6GrandTheftAuto said that based on previous releases by Rockstar, the next installment GTA 6 would be unveiled on 2018. This contradicts other rumors of a 2020 release of the next update in the GTA franchise.

Though there is no official announcement of the release date, but Rockstar has given a hint for GTA 6 that "We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do," Leslie Benzies, president of Rockstar North, said in a press conference. A lot of people are predicting the GTA 6 release date by following the previous leads, but the fact is still GTA 6 date is not announced. But considering the Rockstar strategy, it is expected to release sometime around 2018.

While Ryan Gosling has confirmed to have said yes to be lend his voice for the main protagonist in GTA 6, his wife, Eva Mendez, is also rumored to have agreed to be featured in the upcoming release of the franchise. Youth Health also reported that the new GTA 6 would feature the entire U.S. map in the game play, which is also causing the delay in its highly-anticipated release.

With the ambitious plan to include the entire U.S. map in the next GTA video game, GTA 6 is expected to bi biggest than GTA 5, said MoviePilot.

"Loading the entirety of the USA would have its issues. I mean, driving from one city to another could be a real chore, especially if it's just filled with country side and nothing much to do in between. However, Rockstar have spoken about making all of the GTA maps so far a thing in terms of GTA V online. Obviously it didn't go ahead, but perhaps that's the goal that they have in mind for their next title!," the report said.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Characters are rumored to such an extent that even we sometimes feel that Rockstar might get confused about its main protagonist in the game. GTA 6 latest and most wanted character till now is a female which must act as a main protagonist or can be one of the main lead characters.

Dan Houser head writer for Rockstar Games has told that in a interview, whether he never thought a female character in GTA 5 in respond to this he said "We didn't really think about it this time, That's not to say that we couldn't or we wouldn't. This character set is just what came to us: it wasn't, 'we've got X and Y so we need Z,' we weren't trying to do it off a checklist - I don't think that will ever give you something that's believable or engaging."

"In the future, could we do a game with a lead female character? Of course. We just haven't found the right game for it yet, but it's one of the things that we always think about. It didn't feel natural for this game but definitely for the right game in the future - with the right themes, it could be fantastic. But for GTA V, this was the organic thing that came up, these were the characters what would display the themes we wanted to think about."
