Explore Liberty City in GTA 5 with Michael, Trevor, and Franklin

Jan 03, 2025 11:50 AM

A new mod for GTA 5 called the "Liberty City Preservation Project" lets players explore a fully recreated Liberty City as characters Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. This project, developed by a 12-person team known as World Travel, took over five years to complete and offers a nostalgic journey back to Niko Bellic's stomping grounds. Players can access Liberty City through a separate map and experience features like a working subway system, ambient traffic, and Easter eggs reminiscent of GTA IV. Although still a work-in-progress, the mod has been well-received, and its creators hope Rockstar's stance on mods has shifted positively since the acquisition of the Cfx.re team. The mod can be downloaded via World Travel's Discord server.
