New DEADLINE Mode and Shotaro Bike races into GTA 5

Turn the streets of Los Santos into a stylish electronic videogame battle to the death with the latest update to GTA Online. Achieve hyper speed on the futuristic Nagasaki Shotaro and demolish foes with the power of your light trail in the new Adversary Mode, Deadline.

Check out the new trailer above and get all the details on what you can expect from this new update below:

New DEADLINE mode:

Deadline will pit up to four players against another, each mounted on a different colored Shotaro, which emits a temporary light trail as you ride through the arena. If you are a fan of Tron then you get the general idea with this one.  Any competitor unfortunate enough to come in contact with said trail meets an instant explosion.

Make calculated movements to force opponents to cross your trail’s path and take advantage of strategic power-ups for a competitive edge; use Boost to speed ahead and cut off your opponents, slow down time with Zoned for precision movement, or leap your opponent’s light trail with Hop.

New NAGASAKI SHOTARO bike:

Since we are getting a Tron inspired mode, it only makes sense that a special bike is coming along with it. Packed with enough energy to power the Los Santos grid and sporting the looks of an auto show concept vehicle (or, you know, Tron), the Shotaro delivers a driving experience that is out of this world.

Experience the delights of the Shotaro first in the new Deadline Adversary Mode, which will unlock the bike for purchase at Legendary Motorsport, and the Deadline Outfit is also unlocked for purchase at any clothing store. And for a limited time, proud new Shotaro owners will get a free Nagasaki Logo Tee added to their wardrobe.

It’s neat that GTA 5 keeps getting a lot on new content, but I can’t help but think this it’s slowly turning into Saints Row with this new Tron-like update.
