Other additions for those who opt to return to souped-up versions of Los Santos and Blaine County include being able to pick up the experimental Rail Gun, replete with its own set of Ammu-Nation shooting challenges, along with the gory Hatchet melee weapon. On the costume front, tracking down and photographing monkey-inspired graffiti around Los Santos will unlock new Monkey Outfits for all players, but those who have bought the game previously will get a special Go Go Monkey Blista.
Finally, the Cheval Marshal monster truck and a new and more maneuverable Blimp will be available. There'll also be plenty of classic GTA vehicles and some other surprises for new and old players alike, but Rockstar isn't planning on revealing them before launch day.
All of the above content will be available for returning players regardless of whether they had the PS3 or Xbox 360 version, and they pick up the PS4, Xbox One or PC editions.Today's newsblast concludes with confirmation that all in-game content given to those who purchased the Special or Collector's Editions for PS3 and Xbox 360 will be able to carry these bonuses across to the new versions, while anyone who didn't can purchase them with in-game cash. Created Jobs will carry over to the new systems and, as previously announced, you'll be able to transfer your GTA Online character to the platform of your choice as long as you have a Social Club account. A word of warning though: this can only be done once.
Grand Theft Auto V launched in early September last year, and we loved it. It made $800 million in a single day, and has since gone on to sell 33 million copies. At E3, it was announced for next-gen consoles and PC.
It's set to release on PS4 and Xbox One on November 18 and on January 27 on PC - for everything we know about the updated version, check out our GTA 5 wiki. Luke Karmali is IGN UK News Editor. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on Twitter.
