GTA Online’s Heists have been arguably the most anticipated feature not yet included in the game. And while Rockstar hasn’t said much about the DLC, it gave an update recently, saying Heists will come out in 2014, according to a report in UK’s The Express this weekend.

“Expect big things in both Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V next year including: GTA Online Heists,” the firm said on its website.

“We know many of you in the GTA Online community are super excited for the debut of co-operative Heists,” it adds. “Heists are currently in development and we are working very hard to get them as polished and as fun as they can be. Stay tuned for much more detail in the New Year.

“For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto V, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor’s action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas.”

The company also announced new content, including a Deathmatch and Race Creators tool.

“This week, we will give you the first chance to build your own content in GTA Online (and play content others have made) with the release of the Deathmatch & Race Creators Beta,” Rockstar also wrote. “With access to some of the same tools as our own game design and development team, you can craft your own custom blood-soaked gunfights, high-octane street races, screaming jet dogfights and more.”

It adds: “You'll also be able to publish your original Deathmatches and Races via the Rockstar Games Social Club for the whole community to discover, download, play, rate and share. Players can create and customize Jobs for the following modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Race, GTA Race, Rally Race.”

Meanwhile, Rockstar said that GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas are all available on iOS, Android, and Amazon. 

“Celebrate the ten year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas by revisiting the original west coast GTA classic on your iOS, Android or Amazon mobile device, as it’s currently on sale for a limited time - along with fellow GTA Trilogy titles, Vice City and GTAIII,” it said.
