GTA 6 Can Wait, New Vice City Release Takes Us Back To The 80s

A PlayStation 2 classic has gotten a new coat of paint thanks to a fan-made mod pack. GTA: Vice City now has a whole new storyline with “The Backstabber’s Blues” story expansion releasing in Liberty City.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was first released for the PlayStation 2 and PC in 2002.

While the game is over two decades old, it has maintained popularity with fans for its unique world, moddable code, and iconic setting.

This has led fans to continue adapting mod packs for the modern PC and console ports of the game.

These fan-made stories are a great way to pass the time while fans wait for GTA 6 to release this fall.

GTA: Vice City’s The Backstabber’s Blues Modpack Drops Trailer

In a new trailer shared by modpack creator Northstar Games, players are transported back in time. The rough graphics of GTA: Vice City give the game a retro vibe that fits the 80s setting perfectly.

The trailer comes with an announcement that the modpack is still in development, but that the first chapter is now available to download via Liberty City. The mod pack adds a full story set in Vice City, where players take on the role of Lance, a character from the original Vice City plotline.

The mod adds an entire 12-mission story around Lance, allowing players to interact with iconic characters from the original release in new ways. The mod pack acts as a whole new game that uses Vice City as a base.

Fans in the comments of the trailer are excited to dive back into GTA: Vice City. After several delays for GTA 6, many have been eager to get more of the franchise without replaying old storylines. This is where mods can make a big difference.

With future chapters of “The Backstabber’s Blues” in the works, GTA fans will have plenty to do as they dive back into Vice City and explore a classic storyline from the franchise.
