Grand Theft Auto 5’s Franklin Clinton plays an important role in The Contract according to Rockstar Games' reveal trailer, with manyGTA Onlinefans anticipating the return of one of three of the main game’s protagonists. Franklin will be joining the story with his friend Lamar Davis, with Franklin acting as Manager of F. Clinton & Partners, a music production company inGTA Online. Franklin teases a desire to get his hands dirty again during The Contract trailer, suggesting that he will delve back into the life of crime despite his success since the conclusion ofGTA 5.
While Dr. Dre is no stranger to theGTAfranchise, The Contract heavily revolves around the rap icon. The announcement trailer teases his involvement in making music through Franklin’s record label as he sings alongside a fellow rapper before Lamar introduces himself to the NWA member. Because The Contract will include new music forGTA Online, fans of Dr. Dre may hear some recognizable beats produced by thepopular rapper inGrand Theft Auto Onlinein the near future.
Several gamers voiced their displeasure of an expansion coming toGTA Online, with many asking for anything from Rockstar Games but additional online content. Although announcements like The Contract trailer are typically met with fanfare, the lack ofGrand Theft Auto 6info led many to demand news on the sequel, which caused it to trend on social media. Long-timeGTAfans who are familiar with expansions for previous titles simply lament the fact that The Contract is locked toGTA Onlineand can’t be played in single-player.
SomeGrand Theft Auto 5fans were quick to point out that Rockstar Games once claimed thatGTA Onlinetakes place long before the events ofGTA 5, causing some congruency issues with Franklin being so much older in The Contract. SomeGTAfans are speculating thatGTA 6won’t be shown off until more gamers have their hands on a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, but Rockstar Games has yet to announce the sequel. Rockstar Games recently releasedGrand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition, which joins The Contract as some bufferGTAcontent before the release of the already trendingGrand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available right now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
