Grand Theft Auto Online Adding GTA 3 Cosmetics

[Animous]

In celebration of the newly announced Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition, Rockstar Games will be adding some cosmetic items from classic Grand Theft Auto to the Grand Theft Auto Online sandbox.

Rockstar Games officially announced that Grand Theft Auto The Trilogy - Definitive Edition is real and expected out later this year. To honor the occasion, they will be holding events within Grand Theft Auto Online for the 20th Anniversary of GTA 3 that will reward players with items from the classic games. As of writing, Rockstar has not divulged what the items could be or what events could be coming to their online multiplayer mode other than the t-shirt and car livery used in the announcement post.

In the press release, the only clue that Rockstar has let out is "the possibility of some unusual activity in Southern San Andreas" starting this month in GTA Online. More information will be coming out in the weeks ahead. Knowing what GTA Online entails, some easy guesswork on what will be coming could include some classic cars, outfits and character skins, minigames, and maybe even some missions and jobs that reference characters or places from those games.

Grand Theft Auto 3 was first released on October 22nd, 2001, and vaulted the series into the cultural stalwart that it is today. It was the first game in the series that transitioned from a top-down driver to a third-person open-world sandbox. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City introduced its first speaking protagonist in Tommy Vercetti and officially made the game a mainstay in the industry. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas cemented that fact with further innovations to the series that made it an icon, with memorable references that are still made to this day. With the ongoing success of GTA 5 and GTA Online, this 20th Anniversary event will quite possibly introduce players that weren't around yet to the adventures of Claude, Tommy Versetti, and CJ.

The release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition has been rumored and expected for months now. References to the remastered games have popped up online storefronts, game achievement lists, overseas video game rating commissions, and even Rockstar Games' own PC Launcher, possibly making it one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming this year.

Grand Theft Auto Online is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
