Franklin And Dr. Dre Star In The Contract, A New Story Update For GTA Online

GTA Online is getting a new story-driven adventure starring Franklin Clinton, one of Grand Theft Auto V’s three protagonists. The Contract catches up with the master of yee-yee a** haircuts and tosses Dr. Dre into the mix for what looks to be a wild adventure. 

The Contract is a free update that takes place a few years after the events of GTA V. After knocking over the Union Depository, Franklin has founded his own “celebrity solutions agency”: F. Clinton and Partner. His business aims to help Vinewood’s rich and famous solve their first-world problems, and Franklin needs a partner and a major client to get it off the ground. 

That partner, of course, is you, and you’re hooked up with Franklin thanks to a mutual contact: Lamar Davis, best friend, internet meme, and now aspiring cannabis entrepreneur. DJ Pooh also contacts Franklin to help him find the ideal client: Dr. Dre. Dre’s phone was lost on his way to Cayo Peruico. It contains unreleased songs. F. Clinton, Partner and the phone have been lost. This gives them the opportunity to establish themselves as a successful couple. 

Rockstar says the ridiculous adventure unfolds across Franklin’s old Los Santos stomping grounds to FIB offices to rowdy mansion parties. In addition to teaming with Franklin, you’ll partner with Chop the Dog and hacker Imani to recover Dr. Dre’s phone and prevent his fresh beats from being leaked to the world. 

Rockstar has promised to provide more information in the days ahead. The Contract will be available in GTA Online starting December 15. The publisher is already teasing new weapons and vehicles alongside a new radio station and “first-of-their-kind” updates to existing stations. That includes Dr. Dre exclusive music. This probably explains Snoop Dogg’s comment from October about Dr. Dre working on new music for “the GTA game that’s coming out.”

GTA Online, which is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, will close on December 16th.
