Despite moving on to GTA 6, Rockstar Games has announced a new GTA Online Heist and it’s coming out pretty soon. While we figured that Rockstar wouldn’t quickly abandon something that made them so much money, this is still fairly surprising news but should make fans happy.

Rockstar’s new Heist is called The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, where players will take on both corrupt cops and a brand-new cartel. Based on the trailer below, it also looks like there’s a decent amount of story here, even if this is a multiplayer-only event for players.

Fans won’t have to wait too long for the GTA Online Heist, as The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid will be available next week, on March 7. It should give players a fair amount of entertainment before the new game comes out, but we’re sure fans who already have the game can enjoy this first.

The continued support of GTA Online is surprising, though we can understand why Rockstar would want to keep supporting it. After all, this is where Rockstar made a ton of money from fans, thanks to the various microtransactions. Having seen this mode on PS3, PS4, and PS5 is surreal, so knowing that it will end is more surprising.

Even with this new GTA Online Heist, Rockstar will focus more of its time on the upcoming GTA 6, even if it's through controversial means. The company has mandated its employees to start working in offices again for regular weeks, which is disappointing. Naturally, the devs are worried that they will be crunched again and we hope that doesn’t happen.

GTA 6 has been a victim of plenty of leaks, the most infamous one being a leaked playtest of the game. Even with that, it’s clear that the game is going to sell millions of copies, so let’s hope Rockstar doesn’t crunch those devs.
