Grand Theft Auto V Legacy News

You can loot the panther statue from the Cayo Perico Heist for the next week in GTA Online. While Rockstar Games hasn't posted the details to the Newswire yet, the weekly update is already live, allowing players to see what's new for themselves.

Players are reporting on Twitter and Reddit that the panther statue is plunderable this week, alongside orange glow shades and a skull emissive mask for completing the final and scoping missions. If you've been out of the loop, the statue is the most lucrative thing you can swipe from the heist. It fetches a price of $1.73 million in-game bucks on the regular difficulty and $1.9 million in-game dollars on hard.

If you want to pick it up for yourself, select the panther statue as your heist target, determine your approach for the heist, and then swipe the dang thing.

It's Thursday, GTA Online fans, but it's no ordinary one, going by what this week's update has brought to the open-world game. Each week we see a patch usher in a new set of changes - extra rewards, prize rides, discounts, and that kind of thing - but it looks like this week is a special one, as it's all about that popular Diamond Casino Heist - and diamonds are back as loot. Let's take a look.

The official Rockstar Games newswire post isn't live yet, but Tez2 tweets that this week's patch has brought diamonds back as casino loot. Typically, the Casino Heist's payout will net you up to $2.1 million in-game bucks, but when diamonds are on offer you'll get the chance to nab considerably more - so it's easy to see why it's always exciting when they make a return to the vault.

Elsewhere, the theme continues in the bonus rewards that are up for grabs this week. While this update's live, you'll earn triple GTA$ and RP on the game's Diamond adversary mode series, and double rewards on Casino story and free-mode missions, as well as the Drop Zone adversary mode.

The Grand Theft Auto series is over 24 years old already and the Red Dead series is 17 years old, but the CEO of their publisher Take-Two thinks these franchises have what it takes to be as long-lasting as the James Bond series - with Grand Theft Auto V itself already eight years old at this point.

A quick reminder that the James Bond movie series is almost 60 years old at this point - far older if we count the original novels - from 1962's Dr. No up to this year's No Time To Die. Grand Theft Auto 1 launched on PC in 1997 and the oft-forgotten Red Dead Revolver came out in 2004.

Speaking during this week's Jefferies Virtual Global Interactive Entertainment Conference (transcribed by VGC), Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about the longevity of its franchises - what with this week's troubled release of the GTA Trilogy remasters. Zelnick praised the James Bond movie series for its endurance and said they "would like every franchise to be James Bond."

The release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition was supposed to be a happy event celebrating the remasters of three of the best open-world games ever made, but shortly after that release the Rockstar Games Launcher went down and GTA Trilogy PC was pulled from sale - which is apparently due to "unintentionally included" files that may have been songs.

The remastered Grand Theft Auto Trilogy - GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas - was released yesterday and things didn't go very well at all for the PC version. Aside from raising eyebrows due to these PS2 games having higher system requirements than last year's Red Dead Redemption 2, the Rockstar Games Launcher - which the remastered trilogy is exclusive to after Rockstar pulled the originals from Steam - went down immediately and was offline for a day.

At the same time, Rockstar also pulled the GTA Trilogy PC version from sale without explanation - which it now says is because it is removing "files unintentionally included in these versions".
