2025 is a long wait from now, especially if you’re holding onto your breath for GTA VIās highly anticipated launch, but what if we tell you there’s a mod that can get you a whiff of the beautiful Vice City much earlier?
Last month, Revolution Team, a team of modders, announced it has been working on a promising mod named GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition, aimed at letting players explore the fictitious, crime-riddled city in a version thatās supposedly better than the gameās official remaster. The mod will launch sometime in 2024, significantly earlier than GTA VI, which, slated for launch in 2025, is also based in Vice City.
Besides flaunting Vice City in a cleaner, more intriguing avatar with the familiar tunes of Relax playing in the trailerās background, Revolution also teased a list of things we can expect from the mod when it drops. Not only will the mod include all missions from the original game, but Revolution says itās working on offering a significantly improved experience over the Definitive EditionāRockstar Gamesā attempt at offering an updated experience of GTA Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA III.
Hereās a list of everything expected to be included in the GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition mod:Ā
- Improved version of the city and weapons from Definitive Edition
- All cars from the Xbox version of the game
- Models of all characters and peds from the Xbox version of the game; improved textures
- All original radio stations
- Original cut scenes and game design
- Neon on buildings from Vice City Stories
In addition to these, Revolution will be working on offering improvements post-launch, as well as bug fixes.Ā
Passion mod projects like these have been DMCAāed and shut down before, so thereās no telling if GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition has the same fate. The mod sure looks incredibleāa little too good to be trueābut if itās as good as it looks to be, we can only hope that Rockstar Games and Take-Two don’t hit it with the ban hammer.
