By far, the most important detail to know about the Last Dose update is its release date. Rockstar's Newswire post confirmed that this Los Santos Drug Wars expansion will launch on March 16, 2023.

There isn't much time between then and now. Rockstar Games hasn't revealed much about the new patch, as everything about it is largely confined to a few paragraphs. In the meantime, players can enjoy an otherwise filler event week tied to Auto Shops and Community Series jobs.

3) Isiah Friedlander return

One of the most notable details revealed in the GTA Online Newswire article for Los Santos Drug Wars: The Last Dose is Dr. Isiah Friedlander's return. That confirms the canon choice in GTA 5 is to spare him instead of eliminating him, as previously thought.

He is set to become the main villain in the Los Santos Drug Wars update. The trailer and the Newswire post don't confirm his fate, yet it's clear that players will be against him and his FriedMind Pharmaceutical Corporation.

Dr. Isiah Friedlander believes he can help people with his new drug. Inevitably, this will put him in conflict with the main protagonist and the Fooliganz.

4) This is the finale of the Los Santos Drug Wars story

The first paragraph of The Last Dose Newswire post states:

"The saga of GTA Online: Los Santos Drug Wars reaches its eye-popping conclusion with an explosion of hallucinations, kidnapping, and revenge in The Last Dose. Dax always knew the Powers That Be were gonna push back, and now the Fooliganz will need all the help they can get."

The "eye-popping conclusion" would indicate this is the final series of storyline missions tied to this update. There isn't much content left to introduce from this patch, meaning GTA Online players are one step closer to the next major update.

5) Some of the new missions will be trippy

Text alone can't describe everything interesting about the Los Santos Drug Wars: The Last Dose update. It's worth watching the trailer to understand the new special effects players will witness in the upcoming missions.

One of the more amusing sights is a giant flying hamburger, which has no context behind it. At the very least, the new missions appear to have some humorous cutscenes to entertain players.
