Fortnite Adding A GTA-Style Game, And It’s Not Shy About Its Inspiration

This article was originally published on link to post

Grand Theft Auto 6 doesn’t arrive until this November, but Jogo Games has announced a GTA-like game that you can play very soon in Fortnite. The game is obviously riffing on GTA 6, as evidenced by the key art showing two characters sitting on a car like the official GTA 6 art depicting Jason and Lucia.

Grand Heist City, as it’s called, launches on March 14. Andre “Typical Gamer” Rebelo’s Jogo Games developed the game with the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). He told Variety that Grand Heist City is his “most ambitious” game so far, featuring what he says is the “chaotic energy” of GTA. The game will allow players to explore an open map and do whatever they want, while they can also take on missions and heists. There is multiplayer support as well.

Grand Heist City was funded in part by an Epic Mega Grant. The cinematic announcement trailer (see below) is full of GTA-inspired action, including car chases and explosions. We haven’t seen any actual gameplay yet, however.
