Last month, a group of fans known collectively as “World Project” released the Liberty City Preservation Project, an ambitious mod that put Grand Theft Auto IV’s take on New York City into GTA 5. The project not only updated the visuals of the original city, it added thousands of new animations and dynamic events to make the world feel alive on a scale few mods strive to.
Well, just a few weeks after the surprisingly detailed mod blew everyone away with its attention to detail and seamless integration into GTA 5’s base game, publisher Rockstar Games has seemingly asked World Project to scrub the project from the internet. It’s a sad day for the team that put six years of work into the project, and an even sadder day for fans who wanted to relive fond memories of Grand Theft Auto’s strongest entry.
