GTA Online’s new story expansion adds Dr. Dre and Grand Theft Auto V’s Franklin

Rockstar Games has announced that a new story expansion is coming to Grand Theft Auto Online. 

The studio behind the acclaimed GTA series said on Thursday that an upcoming DLC titled “The Contract” features Los Santos hustler Franklin Clinton, and will be set several years following the events of the action-adventure game. 

Set to be released on Dec. 15, the upcoming DLC will also feature legendary rapper and music producer Dr. Dre, expert hacker Imani, GTA character Lamar Davis and Chop the Dog. 

In the new story expansion, Franklin has started a new “celebrity solutions agency” dubbed F. Clinton and Partner, which apparently caters to elites “in need of solutions to high-society problems.” 

“Franklin needs two things: a reliable partner and a big-ticket, high-profile client. With your longtime LS contact—and newly aspiring cannabis entrepreneur—Lamar Davis making the connection, you can be the partner that helps Franklin take the business to the next level,” the expansion’s description reads. 

The story will also feature DJ Pooh, who is reaching out to Franklin to help his close friend and “exciting potential client,” Dr. Dre. 

“Lost in the shuffle on his way to Cayo Perico last year, it turns out Dr. Dre’s phone isn’t just missing—it’s in the wrong hands. Not only that, but the phone also contains the hottest property in the city: new, unreleased music from Dr. Dre himself. This could be the big break your agency needs,” the description added.

Rockstar Games teases that a wild and hilarious ride through Los Santos awaits players, who will have to begin their journey from the “mean streets of Franklin’s old neighborhood to the hottest parties in the city, from debaucherous mansions to the offices of the FIB (Federal Investigation Bureau) and everywhere in between.” 

For now, the studio said that more information about the new GTA Online DLC will be announced in the coming days, which include “details of an eclectic new radio station from some very special guest hosts, huge first-of-their-kind updates to existing radio stations including a ton of new and unreleased exclusive tracks from Dr. Dre and a heavy-hitting line-up of artists.”
