Grand Theft Auto: Ludendorff is a stand-alone expansion pack available for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 versions of Grand Theft Auto V. Developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, the game is scheduled to be released on September 17, 2014 exactly one year after the release of the main game.

Gameplay
Gameplay in Grand Theft Auto: Ludendorff is similarly structured to Grand Theft Auto V but is bigger and better than ever before. The game further evolves every gameplay mechanic, although the world is much smaller than its predecessor it has a wide range of dynamic interactive elements and player triggered events making it constantly evolve. Due to the size of North Yankton and the power of next-generation consoles almost every interior in the state can be explored. Pedestrians are real and much more dynamic than ever before, they accurately react to the player and the world around them. Law Enforcement in the Grand Theft Auto: Ludendorff are more realistic than ever before, minor crimes committed by the player warrant half a star and if caught the police will question the player about the crime.
