Grand Theft Auto Online will be getting its “biggest, most audacious, most complex criminal operation ever” next Thursday, 12th December, in the form of The Diamond Casino Heist.
GTA Online’s controversial Diamond Casino & Resort finally opened its doors this July, after six whole years looming silently, and emptily, on the horizon. Since then, players have been able to gamble away their earnings in the glitziest of surroundings, but as of next week, they’ll be given the chance to breach the casino’s vault and exact revenge on its owners.
“Something’s up at The Diamond Casino & Resort,” teases Rockstar, “Patrons have reported seeing unusual security patrols on the casino floor. Penthouse owners are receiving cryptic text messages from the Cheng Family Holdings. Insiders have spotted unfamiliar blueprints on Agatha Baker’s desk, and visitors to their website are certain the intrusions there can only mean one thing: there’s a crew getting ready to take the whole thing down.”

Infiltrating the casino will, according to Rockstar, require “careful and comprehensive preparation”, with the entire large-scale operation marking an “all-new approach to Heist architecture and execution” in GTA Online – one featuring multiple threads of a constantly evolving narrative, designed to be “highly re-playable with new scenarios unfolding each time”.
