Whether Rockstar Games will hit its promised 2025 release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is still up in the air. History dictates that the storied developer won’t. Either way, gamers will be waiting at least most of the year before they play the next chapter in the crime saga. So what do they do in the meantime? Well for those on PC, the modding community has a pretty awesome way to take the edge off the 12 year-wait.
The Liberty City Restoration Project is a large-scale mod for 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V that allows players to take a one-way plane ticket to the five boroughs featured in 2008’s Grand Theft Auto IV. The mod is more than just a simple port of Rockstar’s approximation of New York City into a new engine. It is a six-year, collaborative effort to integrate a functioning, bustling Liberty City as players remember it into Grand Theft Auto V.
